If you have straight Medicare A and/or B, the prescriptions would be covered by a Part D policy which you can add to your coverage for an additional premium each month.
Medicare part D adds extra benefits on to your medicare package, it is prescription drug coverage that should be already included in your Medicare package, this means that her insurance would also cover the cost of any drugs she was required to get as part of her medical treatment.
Typically, Original Medicare (Part A and Part B) do not cover prescription drugs. Those costs would only covered in a situation in which you are a hospital patient. Hospital coverage falls under Medicare Part A. Original Medicare beneficiaries must pay for private prescription drug coverage by enrolling in either a stand-alone prescription drug plan (or PDP), which covers only the prescription drugs OR by enrolling in a Medicare Advantage (Medicare Part C) private plan, which covers not only prescription drugs but other medical expenses. With both the PDP and Medicare Advantage, you pay a co-pay for prescriptions, a monthly premium, and an annual deductible. Some individuals - including those with limited income - may qualify for financial help in paying for prescription drug expenses.
Medicare Part D is a federal program to subsidize the costs of prescription drugs for Medicare beneficiaries in the United States. It was enacted as part of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA) and went into effect on January 1, 2006.
Medicare itself has very limited drug coverage. If you have Part D Prescription Drug coverage from an insurance company, check the company's "Formulary" to see if the Baclofen is a covered drug. This is what the Medicare and You 2009 book says about Prescription Drugs: Includes a limited number of prescription drugs such as those you get in a hospital outpatient department under certain circumstances, injected drugs you get in a doctor's office,certain oral cancer drugs, and drugs used with some types of durable medical equipment (like a nebulizer or infusion pump). You pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount, and the Part B deductible applies. Note: Other than the examples above, under Part B, you pay 100% for most prescription drugs, unless you have Part D or other drug coverage.
