The price for Forteo is absurd. I'm about to start on it and there is an $8000 catastrophic out of pocket cap (Medicare) after which you pay $0 which averages to about $680 a month. Next year, the cap will be lower, but I'm not certain of the amount. I'm going to try to swing Forteo because it seems like the best choice for me out of a lot of scary and undesirable choices, and I sure as hell don't want to fracture. The cost is ridiculous.
