When my husband was diagnosed with PD 2 years ago, he switched his insurance from Medicare to Secure Horizons because with it he could (with a premium of about $75/month) have unlimited drug coverage. Secure Horizons and the other 3 similar plans in our state (Mass.) have dropped the coverage. They now offer $600/year for drugs, which as many of you know, is precious little, given PD. Bob takes Eldepryl (2 x day), Parlodel (5mg. 3x day), and Mirapex (3x day). Our income is very, very low, so paying a lot for so-called medi-gap insurance is out of the question. Bob also takes lithium for manic-depression and remeron for insomnia. Perhaps with the $600/year plus the $75/month savings, we'll be o.k. But in case we're not, does anyone have any suggestions? Secure Horizons wants us to use their mail-order plan, but we've had so much trouble with them, we don't want to patronize them or their mail-order outfit. Thanks. Delda White CG Bob 66/2
