Does anyone know if the Medicare drug "donut hole" is an annual
thing, or a one time event?

2. Annual.
But, if you hit the hole, there are other ways to get your meds. The program really isn't designed to prevent people from getting theirs; it's just so darn confusing.

If you hit the hole, talk to your doctor about samples or programs from the pharmaceutical companies.

I would tell you more, but my husband the expert is actually in the hospital tonight (no biggie, thankfully), but if you PM me, I will pick his brain and send the info on to you.

:hi:
