The state of Wisconsin had to pass some emergency legislation because
January 1 over 100,000 people were unable to get their medications. As
for me, all my medications are generic so every plan cover them.
However I'd be screwed if they didn't because I didn't want the plan I
was assigned. I was assigned Blue Cross and wanted and still want
Humana. I applied twice on Humana's website but still haven't heard
anything. It's been over 2 months now so I'm assuming neither
application went through. I went to the drive through to get my
medications in January and I was told baclofen was $98. I went inside
the next day and straitened everything out. Pharmacist said it's been
a major headache.

Just wondering if anyone had any problems with the change from
Medicaid to Medicare Part D after all the doom and gloom predictions.
I know for me the transition was smooth. I received a letter in
November saying that it was changing and that if I did not chose a
drug plan I would be put on the AARP MedicareRx Plan. I checked the
Medicare web site and saw that it covered my medications. They did not
show my pharmacy as being included in their plan so called the
pharmacy and asked. They assured me they were. So I did nothing. This
month when it was time to renew my prescriptions called the pharmacy,
they asked for my social security number, and that was it. When my mom
went to pickup my prescriptions I had: a $3 co-pay for dantrium, $1
co-pay for baclofen and no co-pay for docusate.
