I am on a medicare advantage plan and I had no trouble getting my lidoderm patches filled for my leg and back.. they were 2nd tier tho and $42 for I think 30
Some things seem to be better on "plain vanilla" medicare and others are much better with the advantage plans.. but in the end it's all a matter of what is on the formulary. Lido was listed on mine. I think you can change your drug plan at some point in the year. You need to check on the medicare website what drug plans are in your neck of the woods and see which ones have the drugs you are on.. and then you also have to apply for extra help if you qualify
