Medicare coverage for Xeloda?

Some confusion with Walgreens and past Xeloda coverage i.e. co-pays. How has it worked for other Medicare folks here?

xeloda is a med B drug.. not a med D..

walgreens retail rphs dont know this typically.

call a CAREPLUS specialty pharmacy.. they are part of cvs/caremark
