Frances, I know this will not help right now, but it might be a good idea to start researching all the available Medicare supplement providers in your area. I have a feeling that it is not just Medicare that is your stumbling block. My dad had B&O suppositories prescribed a few years ago and he was on Medicare at the time with a Senior Advantage supplemental plan through Kaiser, so Part D was included in his plan. It was covered the same as any other brand name drug. I'm sure that the doctor had to indicate exceptions in order for it to be covered.

Another thing is that the donut hole is being phased out (again, I know this does not help now, but at least something to look forward to). http://www.nolo.com/legal-ency...e-drug-coverage.html
