I have a potential client that will be turning 65 in June. Makes $1700.00 per month with social security and pension. He is currently has no health coverage and gets Meds at a clinic along with health coverage at $0. He gave me his list of meds. (11) only one generic rest are preferred name brand or name brands. The least expensive MAPD plan has his med cost at $1800.00 per month. Any suggestions besides seeing if he could start taking med that are generic?
 
That would be the 1st thing to do; see if he can get on generics. He's probably not going to qualify to be on LIS, so he's got to do something to change the amount he has to pay out.

Are you sure a stand alone PDP wouldn't work better for him?
 
That's the one thing many people get sticker shock about getting on Medicare is giving up the name brand or paying for things like insulin or inhalers

GoodRx (which is generally only good for generics).

Consider switching to a preferred pharm.
