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?

If you meet income requirements, you can get free Tymlos through Radius Assist. In my state there is also assistance for the donut hole, also with income limits.
