@connibar on my Medicare Advantage we pay 20% of the cost and Medicare part B pays 80% since it is given in the office. My cost is $427/month. You might want to call Amgen to ask if there is assistance available!

It doesn't make sense. I tried to get a coupon from Evenity for a discount, but once they found out I have Medicare it was not covered. Most people that need this medication are under Medicare. It's a shame!

Is there any possibility that it has been submitted incorrectly? Have you contacted the billing dept at your doctor's medical organization or could the doctor have coded it incorrectly? Never hurts to ask. Let the doctor know that financially you may not be able to continue if this is the amount each month. I don't think many doc's know what is being charged for these drugs.

Regular Medicare (80%) plus G Supplement (20%) pays the whole amount, including the charge by institution who is giving the injection.

@connibar, What a horrible shock! I'm so sorry that happened.
I'm on commercial insurance and able to get assistance from Amgen directly. I wish they had a program to help those on Medicare like yourself.
They do however offer information on non-profits that do if you call them at (866) 264-2778 Monday - Friday 9:00 am - 8:00 pm ET
I hope you can find help paying for this rediculously expensive treatment that many of us so badly need.
