~~~ Don't you choose a plan yourself as part D of Medicare? They vary alot but on step drugs, alot -not all - will cover if the paperwork is filled and filed. Usually the policy requires a "fail" on a first line med thus the "step" to step program meds.
My policy is also like that. They removed Lex from their formulary several years ago so every year I and my doc had to file paperwork. I did do a trial of Citalopram when this happened but found I didn't feel as well. My plan has Lexapro back on its first line formulary now.
Having gone thur mess with my Father over picking a Rx plan, they are hugely variable as to coverage and picking one that is a good fit is difficult.
