What to do!

Posted by guinivere @guinivere, Apr 18 12:04am

My endocrinologist today through her nurse has let me know that my tests are back & she wants me to go on either Fosomax or
Prolia & she wants my decision like tomorrow! I know I have to get going on something as I am 86 with bad bone density numbers - like 3.6, 3.6 & 3.4. What to do!!!!!!!!

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.

Guinevere, after they give you the rush.
I'd thought to suggest you have them expedite your request. Your doctor may have to do some research. After, the office will have to get insurance approval. It can take some time expecially if the insurance doesn't want to approve and they have to appeal. Still, your request should have generated a response. I suspect they were surprised, probably expecting you to resist.
Excellent choice, Tymlos.
I especially like that you left the re message this morning.

I did hear from the Medical Assistance Office at the hospital with some questions that I was able to answer from my 1040 tax form. The % of assistance being requested was presumably calculated from that & presumably relayed to my insurance company. I was told the whole process will take about 45 days!
