Frances,

Ditto to what Sharon just posted!!! The squeaky wheel gets oiled. Be a pest, but a nice one.

From my little bit of experience, the part D plans, relating to Medicare, require a listing of your drugs take to calculate  each individuals premiums. Is my understanding right kFrances? It appears that they then decide what they won't cover in addition to that.  My BBF has run into problems relating to her Part D policy in Chicago. I know her asthma inhaler is one of them.  

Have you tried contacting the drug company that manufacturers these drugs? Some have programs that reduce the cost of their drugs to individuals. Try all you are doing and attack the problem this way too. 

Obama Care appears to have done nothing for insurance premium relief for Medicre part D people.  Don't get me wrong. I am not trying to be too critical about it. I thought at the time it was passed that it would need a lot of tweaking. But instead of doing that there arepoll  politicians spinning their wheels trying to get it repealed and maybe put something new in its place. No specifics on what the replacement law would look like just that it would be better. IMO, the current bill probably needs amendments to it. Kind of like the tax code, I have no idea how many times that has been changed. 

My trip to Mayo has been great. Yesterday I had a great appointment with several Stoma Nurses.  They had to increase the size of wafer needed plus additional work building it up underneath of it with putty like reinforcement under the wafer. So far so good. I'm going back this morning so we can tell if that new way appears to be working. 

  My surgeon says my incision has improved a lot. She unpacked and packed the openings and said it is looking a lot better than when I was discharged last week.  She prescribed another round of the antibiotic.  She got a chuckle when she saw I'd placed a ]feminine hygiene pad over it.  She said that was I good idea as it is still draining alot.  She also ordered up 2 bags of IV fluids for me. The bloodwork told the tale of my dehydration. I wish it was easier to get EIV fluids at home.
