How do you get out of the donut hole? - SOS

I tried to get a refill on an inhaler and it was going to cost  $400 or $500.  I want to know how I get out of the donut hole which I am obviously in since they would not pay for it this time.  They did a couple of other times.  It is way too expensive.  It is normally $601 for one inhaler.  

Scares me about this.  Does anyone know if you can get this in a Canadian pharmacy?  My pulmonologist gave me a number and website from the newspaper and I am not sure this is even on the legit.
