My pharmacists was shocked. [An assistant of some sort usually checks me out and the pharmacists is not familiar with my costs.] My co-pay is about $135/mo. I am curious as to what others are paying as a change in Part D provider may be indicated.

Go to the Medicare site and plug in the drugs you are using. This will tell you the total price of each plan (plan subscription costs plus copays…)

[_ **How, pray tell, did I get here?** _ I was reading a column on Slate and my screen blinked and this old thread of mine popped up.]

.

BTW:PastTense above links to a site that should be most useful to persons who have Medicare Part D. Use with some reservation e.g. my local CVS is not listed but it may not matter.
