Hi Penny, I have Part and I am on Gleevec. When I was looking for my carrier, I listed all my drugs and looked at the plans that gave me the best rate and the best price for the Gleevec. I wound up with a specialty pharm for the Gleevec and Walgreen's for everything else. The prices at the specialty pharm were much cheaper than going to Walgreen's or CVS. I do not have an advantage plan it is strictly part D.
Hope that helps.
