A number of changes have been made to Medicare which hopefully will save you money! For instance, as of January 1, the Shingrix vaccine to prevent shingles is free for those with a Part D prescription drug plan, a significant relief since it cost almost $200 last year. If you are diabetic, your copay for a 30-day supply of insulin for Part D enrollees is capped at $35. During the pandemic, the cost for a month’s supply was hundreds of dollars. Public awareness of many of these changes are low because they were passed as part of a massive legislation. However, you will definitely notice it at your pharmacy’s cash register!
