and they pay for hydrocodone for 7 days. So for someone like me, if they prescribe every four hours, that's 30 pills. If they prescribe more, you can pay the difference. Talk to your dr's insurance department and request a pre authorization for your particular meds. If you need assistance, talk to medicare and they will put you on a special program, depending on your income. I don't pay part A/B or D, but pay supplemental. It's very helpful as they pay for all my medications, including Humira.

Ask questions, call various insurance companies, compare. My supplemental is with USAA as my father was in the army.
