Part D insurance

Has anyone found a Part D health insurance plan that will pay for Cialis? When I take the 5mg daily, it really helps alleviate ED.

Thank you Jerry. That's not what I wanted to hear, but confirms my own research.

Doubt you'll find one . Manyof us are buying from international suppliers. None seem to stock 5mg but we buy 10mg and split them. 46 cents a day for me.

Thanks BerkshireBear. How do I locate a safe international supplier?

Hi. I just signed up for Part D through SilverScripts, which is owned by the company that owns CVS drugstores. I had also considered Express Scripts and United Healthcare (via AARP). During my research, I asked them all about this because I take 5 mg daily for BPH. I was told I would have to provide a letter from my physician to get an exception for coverage. (This is what I had to do with employer retiree medical, so no surprise.) It didn't sound like this is automatic with such a letter, but they didn't say it was impossible. Thing is: You will be paying a large percentage of the cost if you get it (as high as 40%-50%). As for online: Through my local support group I learned of AllDayChemist.com (!) and ordered its version of Viagra. I can't say I think it's equal to the real thing, but others have had good luck. You can order online and simply declare that you have a prescription. It takes about a month to arrive. But they are transparent and seem to be honest. You might give that a try. — Nick

PS: I left out the drug I got through an exception letter: cialis.
