but neither of them cover drugs. Maybe Medicare Advantage does tho and I'm not very familiar with it. I decided that medicare would cover me at 80% and my supplemental Plan F the other 20% (which costs me an additional $240/month). But my meds are Plan D with the exception of the nebulizer meds which go through Apria. Are you really meaning Medicare or maybe you mean the Plan D.
