I am in the same boat. In addition, because of some pass-through income driving up my total, I wast forced to pay three times as much for Medicare. This is separate from my secondary insurance. Together, I am showing out nearly $500 a month. My doctor also put me on Procepa, which is VERY expensive, hundreds of dollars. There is a coupon one can get that reduces the cost to nine dollars, but not if you are on Medicare. I am still working of course, and my cost will go down when I stop, but I plan to keep working for several years.

Do you mean Procepia? Generic Procepia (finasteride) is about $9 with GoodRX coupon and I have had no problem using GoodRx even though I am on Medicare also.

The one med I am on had a co-pay assistance program that only worked for private ins.

Those on Medicare were not eligible for it, so I lost that. I’ve been sent to other sites but they don’t cover much. Certainly not enough for my Rx costs.
