I have been taking Betaseron since it first became available in the 90s. Fortunately I have had good insurance coverage through my employer. Next year I will be retiring and signing up for medicare. I am wondering if there is a Part D supplement out there that covers any of the DMDs? And if there is what is the cost and what is the deductible? Does anyone have any comments? Thanks.

I am trying to find a way to know ahead of time what my options are. I was told to go to medicare.gov. When I did the site kept asking for my medicare number before continuing further on the site. It is my understanding that you don't sign up for Medicare until 3 months prior to turning 65. Right now I have 14 months before I turn 65. Does anyone know whether to just get a Medicare number I could sign up now or do I need to wait until I reach 3 months before turning 65? I know I wouldn't be on Medicare until 65.
