    Does any Medicare part D drug plan cover a portion of Vidaza cost or is it all out of pocket? I have silver Script currently.

    I was in Vidaza for over 3 years and never paid for it because it was an integral part of my cancer treatment and was covered under part b.

    I had Vidaza for five months and mine was covered by Medicare.

    Just has Transplant and Medicare covered that too.

    Have a grant for prescriptions and that pays the cost of most of my Medicare co-pays. Also pays for my monthly Medicare payments, monthly prescription for RX and my supplemental.
    The above I believe is only offered when you get a transplant.
    At the moment we are only living in Social Security so we qualified for grants. You can still own a house and get these grants, they only take SS into account.

    Hope this helps.

    Mine was paid for by grants. You can also look up Patient Advocate Foundation they can offer some assistance in grants or co-pays also.
