the problem could be that the main medicare office has not been informed of the changes. call them at 1-800-Medicare. It is a pain in the rear to get the right person but necessary. Once they are informed their info should match that at you Med D providers office. I hope this helps. Med D can be a real PITA!!!

ok, this sounds terrible. I can tell you that you need to go directly to your social security office and provide them with all the paperwork. Do you have a case manager or something like that? Your doctors office should be able to help with this. Go to the financial department there. Remember the people working behind the scenes aren't all that bright. Persistent pays.

In the short term, you can stretch your meds some by taking cinnamon, a quarter teaspoon twice daily. Cinnamon regulates glucose, and has a polyphenol compound called MHCP that mimics insulin and activates cell receptor sites.

I know people who have been able to cut back on their meds by doing this, but I'd run it by my doctor, too. Best of luck.

BEFORE YOU GO ANYWHERE - CALL - MAKE SURE YOU MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE PERSON WHO CAN BEST SERVE YOU

I BELIEVE YOU NEED TO GO TO SOCIAL SERVICES, IN YOUR TOWN OR NEAREST TOWN. TELL THEM ABOUT THE EMERGENCY SITUATION WITH YOUR MEDICATION TOO.

ASK THEM IF YOU QUALIFY FOR ANY STATE PROGRAMS BASED ON YOUR DISABILITY AND INCOME.

BE SURE TO BRING COPIES OF ALL THE DOCUMENTATION YOU'VE PREVIOUSLY SENT

I would go to the social security office in person. Take it from there.
