A few suggestions

1 - Check out Good RX for your expensive prescriptions, you might find significant discounts. My pills which aren't covered cost retail close to $400 for 15 pills, I got 15 for $68. from Good RX 2 months ago.

2 - Check out Medicare HMO's (part C) to see which/if any cover your drugs and dr. I saved a lot last year. Be prepared to have to intervene if you needs auths or referrals. They cover prescriptions plus lots are offerring vision and dental help as well. Be sure that your drugs and dr. are "in network" or if not, try a different ins. co.

3 - Call/write the drug co. asking for assistance with the price. I've heard that many companies do this?

Good luck!!!
