Yes that leaves out folks on Medicare.

I'm also on Medicare, was diagnosed with 5 fractured vertebrae and need to start Tymlos.
I called medicare and they said to ask my doctor to apply for a tier exemption, so they can charge at a lower tier price? I haven't done so yet. In the meantime I received a notice from Accredo, the pharmacy my drugplan is connected with and they said that my first 3 month supply would cost $3,328, and after that I pay 25% but don't know how much that will be.
Does that seem reasonable?
