Starting FORTEO tomorrow and so nervous.

There is an online form. The income requirements are listed on the form. For a single person, income must be less than $44,000. That would include income from pensions, social security, and royalities. I don’t remember if spouse support income is included. Be sure you Google Lily Cares Foundation, not just Lily. There are 2 different support sites. The 1st one I looked at would not consider me because I had part D insurance. The Foundation is totally different. Once you fill out the form, your doctor is contacted and has to provide information. Good luck.

I am not challenging your comment about the income level but I wanted to share that Lily Cares Foundation covered 2 years of Forteo for me with no copay. The time frame was Sept of 2021 through 2023. I applied through the medical clinic where my Endo is. My income is quite a bit higher than the $44,000 you mentioned.
I didn't believe Lilly Cares would help out. The clinic kept calling me to get me to fill out the paperwork. I finally did. It turns out that drugs are listed by Tier, and Forteo is (or was) a high enough tier that one could make more than 4 times $44,000 and still get assistance. All my Forteo was covered 100%.
Perhaps Forteo's Tier number has gone down, but I would contact your clinic and get the paperwork from them and return the application to your clinic.
The Tier numbers I saw were not necessarily the Medicare Tier numbers. These tier numbers were with a chart about prescription payment assistance.
