   Medicare Part B medications are usually provided and given by someone in the doctors office as part of a treatment.  There are a couple of exceptions that may be picked up at a local drug store. These include medications to be used in a nebulizer, medications to prevent rejection of a transplanted organ, and diabetic testing supplies. If your doctor wants you to pick any of these up, make sure that the prescription is written following CMS directions or the pharmacy will not be able to bill Medicare. This includes having the diagnosis code written on the prescription, exact quantities and frequency of use, and your name, date of birth, and address written on the prescription.
