Insurance plays too big a role in our treatment decisions. I'm fortunate that my insurance approved Evenity. At this point, I'm four sets of injections in, and looking at follow-up options. Next year, if available, I'm going to continue with the same commercial insurance plan. As we all know, the drugs available on each plan can change. In an attempt to be prepared, I'll have a Plan B and even a Plan C, while desperately hoping that Plan A works out.
As an aside---For those who are on or have had Forteo or Tymlos, did you encounter any issues with coverage to complete the full 18 month to 2 year treatment? I'm sure I've seen stories of the patient contribution ($$$) changing. Has that happened to you? Has anyone been denied coverage to complete the treatment?
