Working with a lady that takes a specific drug and can NOT take the generic. MUST be that specific drug.
I ran her list on Medicare.gov and it came back that Wellcare was the best choice.
All her meds covered on the formulary, no restrictions.
Sent her the printout comparing Wellcare to an AARP plan she had specifically asked about.
So ...............
She called Wellcare and they said "No, that drug is not on our formulary. You will have to pay full price".
So after she raked me over the coals about how bad the Medicare info was, she asked if there was a better plan than the AARP Saver.
Back to Medicare.gov I go and look for only AARP plans.
According to .gov the $45 AARP plan has her drug on tier 3 and a $40 copay, but the plan she picked (after talking with AARP before I was ever on the scene) is listed as tier 4 and costs $259 per month.
I use .gov all the time and have never known it to be off by this much which makes me wonder. Was .gov right when 2014 plans were first offered and Wellcare changed the formulary afterward, or was .gov always wrong?
