medicare part D

I am taking harvoni, just started, and I take my first blood test in a week.  I made a huge mistake and smoked pot for 3 days a week ago.  I am really ashamed of myself for not having more control. Now I am really scared because someone told me if there is pot in my system when I take the blood test Medicare will cut me off the medication.  I will never smoke it again and now I am worried that medicare will take it away and am scared to take the blood test.  Does anyone know if it is only a one time drug test to get approved or do they test you everytime and will medicare cut me off now?  I am scared to death, I am so blessed to be getting the medicine and now I feel extremely depressed and dissapointed in myself.  Please help me.

Relax, If they were going to test you for drugs they would have done it before you started treatment so they could deny you the drugs in the first place.

Have a great day
