Alabamians who are sick of high food, home and utility costs are about to receive some relief at the pharmacy.
) - Starting in January, AARP says prescription copays will be capped at a maximum of $2,000 for individuals on a Medicare prescription drug plan.
“The reason why this is so important is because we hear from a lot of our members and other older adults who are unable to afford their out-of-pocket costs,” said Jamie Harding with AARP Alabama.AARP says this is long overdue, as no senior adult should have to choose between groceries and much needed medications.
“They go into their pharmacy, they find out how much they have to pay co-pay to get their prescription, and they often end up walking out without it,” Harding added. “A prescription drug doesn’t help you if you can’t afford to pay for it.”Harding said the public should look at their coverage, decide what fits their needs, and potentially shop for a new plan with big savings.
