Hi clairemcl, I'm meeting with my endo next week to review pre-Forteo tests and discuss next steps. I'm assuming this includes her prior approval for the insurance company. May I ask why your insurance is denying approval? In case I'm facing the same.

I have osteoporosis but have had no fractures and I have not tried other less expensive drugs. I have severe scoliosis and spinal stenosis and found out about the osteoporosis when the spine doctor recommended surgery. I can’t have surgery without the bone building, hence Forteo.
