Reply #13: I am in same boat

[Bryn]

I am my mother's sole caretaker and have POA. I just found out that her medicare/insurance won't be paying for her meds for her dementia and heart because she has reached the gap or donut hole, whatever it's called...now she has to pay a full price for her meds $452.00 per month. We don't have that kind of budget. Before that she paid 109.00 and they paid the rest. She has Medicare, Plan D for drugs & Blue Cross/Blue Shield as supplement yet she has to pay full prices for her meds until she reaches 3,600. I was told our government will close that gap next year. :(
