My husband takes a lot of prescription drugs and we've been able to stay out
of the doughnut hole by buying cheap generics and paying out of pocket.
I use one drug store for all the insurance covered drugs and then find the cheapest generics using Goodrx.

The last insurer we used was charging only $4 for generics to us but claiming the drug cost them $20-$30 and adding that to the total cost. That would have put us in the doughnut hole. Same drug from KMart was $4 period. It's a shell game.

Anyhow, GoodRx can find some really great prices. You can go online or download their app for your phone.
