Hello!
Does anyone have any insight:
I was employed until December 2022. My employer covered my insurance through January 2023. In February 2023, I began COBRA.
I applied for long term disability and Medicare in December 2022. I am on radicava ors. Each month, I would ask accredo, my pharmacy, if I had a co-pay. Each month, the answer was 'no'. I had the grant through Journeymate.
I called Accredo this month and the said I had a balance of $500+ from February 2023. The balance for March and April are pending.
Because I called, I found out this information: my COBRA insurance was canceled February 2023 because I was approved for Medicare on December 2022. I believe the insurance company made the decision retroactively because I have seen that services that were billed in March 2023 were approved and not outstanding on the horizon blue cross/shield website. Had I not called, I would not have known that I no longer had insurance
I was approved for Medicare BUT not for a part D. Those 2 months of radicava ors may cost me 26,000.
And the other question I have is, what do I do for medication now? I don't have medication insurance. I am due to pick up multiple medications at the pharmacy.
Can anyone recommend a part D insurance or any advice? I have an insurance broker who will look into it tomorrow. I also plan on calling Journeymate and the health well foundation
