Medicare C and D plans vary enormously from one state to another and even within the state. I live in Arizona and have my Medicare D with Wellcare. Sometimes it's challenging to get them to approve a special tiered medication but ultimately they have always come through for me and cover 80%. The remaining amount (co-pay) can be off set at least in parts by various grants you can apply for with the help of your PH Clinic. And in 2026 the threshold for crossing into the Catastrophic phase of coverage was $2100. I believe the amount for 2027 will be $2400. And your grants do get applied to that benchmark.
My PAH Dr worked everything out for me. My insurance plan does not cover neither opsumit,uptravi or winrevair. But my Dr took care of all that and got it so they are covered. I am no longer on winrevair because i had a stomach bleed. Winrevair is like a miracle drug for PAH. But opsumit and uptravi have really helped and gave some of my life back. Uptravi does come with alot of unpleasant side effects. It takes your body awhile to adjust to that med. To me though I will deal with the side effects because it helps so much with the PAH. God bless you. 🙏🏻
