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.

Call medicare and ask.
They are really very helpful.
