Question : Do any Medicare Part D plans cover bio-identical hormones?
I am disabled and just started getting disability. I am new to Medicare. I would like to know if anyone knows if there is a plan that covers bioidentical hormones, and if so, what plan would that be? I’m in Arizona, if that makes a difference. Thanks!
Also, is there any way to look up prescriptions, such as TRI-EST/PROGEST/DHEA 6/300/8 MG TROCHE online to see who covers it (these are made at compounding pharmacy).

Yes, many of the Part D plans and many Part C plans that also include prescriptions in Arizona will cover some of the bio-identical hormones. Where the drugs fall into what tier levels vary greatly between the companies, so what your co-pays are will also vary greatly. For example, estrace is Tier 2 with one company, Tier 3 with another company and not on the formulary with a third company.

Depending upon why you qualify for disability you may not be eligible for Medicare for two years or your 65th birthday, whichever comes first.
