until a year ago. I switched over to a Medicare Advantage plan through UHC,, which also covers prescriptions. I pay only $27 a month, but there is a little more out of pocket I have to pay for. They said that you can either pay more in premiums for a supplemental medical plan and less out of pocket, or pay more out of pocket in some instances. So far that has worked for me. There is a ceiling on what I have to pay, which is $4,500. OptumRX, the mail order pharmacy, is fantastic though - most meds are free for a 90 day supply mailed directly to you. They have always been very helpful when I've needed to call.

So good luck to you! And congrats on slogging through all of that. Feels good to get it done, though, right?
