I have a guy that has a med supp that he pays for himself. He also pays for a major med through his former employer that has a 5K ded and $10 co-pay for prescriptions.
He is 75 and is on 3 prescriptions. 2 are generics and 1 is lipitor. So a Part D plan will cost him around $30 per month(avg) and the cost for the generics will be $0-$10 and the cost for the lipitor should be between $20 and $40. I can save him on the supp so I am not worried about that. Should he drop his employer coverage and take the Part D plan? His employer plan is costing him $130 and he is only using that plan for the Rx.
The part D plan will save him now about $60 per month. But if he gets prescribed more he will definetly regret it. I would never ever tell him to drop that plan. It is defenitly up to him but I think I am going to advise him to keep the employer plan. What would you do?
