If you have medicare, you should have part D for prescription coverage. That pays for more of your prescriptions than the 80% which is what they pay for medical care. Medicare covered my Xeloda that was filled through my oncologist's pharmacy. That is covered by part B. I haven't paid a penny for the Xeloda and I think you need to call medicare and find out more about your coverage. There is help out there for prescriptions. Call the pharmaceutical companies and ask about assistance and use your seach bar and type in prescription assistance. Apply to all of them. You may get denied by one, but accepted by another. Good luck.
