My dad (71 yrs) is on Medicare. Even though he has to take a lot of prescriptions, he did not sign up for Part D and of course, being middle of the year, too late for this year. He has now fallen into the "gap" where he has to pay everything in full (up to $2500, I think). We found a prescription plan on line-1020rx, where the script he just pay $100/week for, would be $25. However, the pharmacist talked him out of using this saying only $25 is now applied to the "gap instead of the $100. Either way, he still has to pay the $2500, but by using the 1020rx, he would only pay $100/month vs. $400. Sounds like they want him to fork out all this $$ upfront and he doesn't have it. What is wrong with using this script plan? Yes, it will take longer to reach the $2500 but so what? either way he has to pay it. My sisters and I are confused. Anyone have experience with this?
