Hey Jeanie, If you are not happy getting only a 30 day supply remember that your "extra help" coverage allows you to change Medicare Part D plans any time you want. You are not restricted to the "enrollment" period, although right now we are all still in the open enrollment period. Just go online or call Medicare back and switch to any other plan you want. The AARP Medicare RX Preferred Plan will put you back with the same prescription coverage you were used to with the AARP Saver plan. 30 day coverage is not the end of the world but is certainly not as convenient at 90 day and leaves you at greater risk to run out of Sprycel if something goes haywired. For me Prescription Solutions, the specialty pharmacy for AARP, will provide 90 days by mail and a refill can be ordered 61 days after they fill it, so I am never in danger of running out. One less thing to worry about.
