Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
W2R, sorry for the misunderstanding on my part. I guess when one is on Medicare for so long, you have a tendency to think everyone is. The form I'm talking about is "2012 Medicare Part D Formulary or Tier Exception".
I never heard about it until BCBS suggested I get my doctor to fill it out and fax it to them. The purpose is to have the doctor tell your drug insurance company that "patient must take this prescription drug and there are no others". I suppose the purpose is to tell your pharmacy that you deserve a break on the price because of the specific need. On the form it states that "this is a Medicare Part D form".
Interesting, but since it doesn't apply to your situation, maybe someone else can benefit from the post. I know it saved me a couple hundred bucks every three months. I never looked it up on the Medicare site because my insurance pharmacy led me through the process.
