"Do you feel like screaming when you pick up your prescription at the pharmacy and the cashier gives you a nervous look because she knows how high much you will have to pay?\nThe Medicare coverage that may be the most expensive is, indeed, Part D, coverage of prescription drugs. This is not the fault of Medicare but, rather, can be laid at the doorstep of the drug manufacturing companies that are basically free to set their own pricing.\nHowever, here are three ways to make prescription drugs easier on the pocket:\n1. Take fewer or less expensive drugs\n2. Qualify for Extra Help\n3. Deduct medical expenses from your federal income tax\nReview your prescriptions\nFirst of all, make sure you are only taking what you need. If you have prescriptions from a number of doctors, there may be duplication. Review all of your medications with a trusted pharmacist to see if you can cut down on any meds – and also to ensure you are not taking any that may be harmful in combination with others.\nTalk to your doctor about taking a generic alternative to a brand name drug you are using. Generic drugs are cheaper and, usually, equally as good as the branded ones. You will also be able to find this information out by finding what Tiers your drugs fall in with your Part D plan.\n........"
