Avatar f tn Osteoporosis medications like Raloxifene (Evista), alendronate (Fosomax), risendronate (Actonel) and ibandronate (Boniva) all can cause flu like symptoms in individuals that are taking them. I am not sure what medications you are on, but this could be your problem.

Avatar f tn Medicare Part D covers drugs. Not the supplement plan. The supplement covers the 20% the Medicare doesn't pay (Hospital, doctors, labs, etc) that is now paid for by Medicaid. You need both a Medicare supplement (if you don't want to pay the 20% for hospital and doctor's costs). Plus a Part D drug plan. What Part D plan is available to you is based on where you live. You should research what Part D plans are available and then get a copy of their latest formulary.
Avatar f tn If you have Medicare and Medicaid, you will usually get your drugs covered by the Medicare prescription drug benefit (Part D) and the Extra Help program. Extra Help is the federal program that pays for most of the costs of Medicare drug coverage if you meet the eligibility requirements. In some limited cases, Medicaid may cover drugs that Medicare does not cover. As long as you have Medicare Part D your drugs will be covered. Call Medicare if you have questions.

Avatar m tn I am signing up for Medicare and discovered my contribution on Copaxone will be approximately $5000 a year. On my old insurance my payment was $600 a year. Living on a fixed income I won't be able to continue Copaxone if I don't find help, shared solutions doesn't help with people on Medicare. Anyone have this problem?
Avatar n tn Besides Liver Transplant Centers (where you MUST be treated to have your cirrhosis and portal hypertension managed) usually take both Medicaid and Medicare for payment so there is no advantage to Medicare. In fact Medicare is very expensive. You say you have one doctor. Any one doctor can NOT treat all of your health conditions and certainly not your liver disease. You will have to make sure the liver transplant center takes Medicaid. This should be the first think you do.
612876 tn?1355514495 I just received paperwork in the mail congratulating me that as of February 2009 I will qualify for Medicare, and informing me that I need to respond to make certain selections regarding my Medicare program. When I called Medicare, they informed me that because I have Medicaid I won't have to pay premiums. BUT, I will now have copays on every single one of my prescriptions. (I take 20 medications right now.
Avatar f tn (Dont hate me) but I work for a health insurance company and I actually am a Medicare Specialist, unfortunately I too have seen the decrease in services being paid by Medicare(referring to original Medicare) in the past 8 years that I have been working with my (yes, i call them all MY members because i love them all so much) Medicare members. If you don't mind me asking, are u on original Medicare? Or on a Senior Advantage plan or do u have a supplement? What state do u live in?
Avatar f tn Medicare is a huge scam, no agency will help you with any problems with a Medicare HMO EXCEPT Medicare and that is a huge conflict of interest and has created a vastly corrupt Medicare system. I filed 27 complaints about this HMO over the past two years and Medicare has done NOTHING except lie about saying they contacted me when they didn't.
29837 tn?1414534648 What did u mean about Medicare?? I have just gotten my Genotype yesterday 1a and awaiting my Medicaid/Medicare. New to this.
Avatar m tn This is just one example of the Medicare nightmares I have gone through. When in doubt, report it to Medicare with name and info. There are SOME caring people at Medicare that actually do listen. I was just lucky this time but give it a try. Most doctors I have been to just spend the time treating basically, refill medications and then bill Medicare. Keep doing research on doctors and you might actually find a doctor that is serious about their work. Good LUCK!
Avatar f tn Has anyone been on medicare and medicaid? Medicare is my primary and medicaid is my secondary. My doctor only takes Medicaid but had tried billing both and neither is paying. I thought I had this fixed 5 months ago and today my doc says that nothing has been paid and I might have to find a different doctor. I'm almost 33 weeks and needless to say that scares me having to maybe find a different doc.
