Anyone taken Evenity (romosozumab) for Osteoporosis?

@connibar I used Radius Assist for Tymlos. I filled a form out that is online at Radius, my doctor signed it, I submitted tax forms and got free Tymlos for 18 months.

At the time Amgen did not have a program like that but said they get funding from foundations so it is more than worth a try. Let us know what Amgen says!

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!

@sbcher , I know, right?? And we are the ones on a fixed income with prices just skyrocketing!!

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.

@sbcher and @connibar Medicare covers Evenity under part B, since it is given in the doctor's office. This is true for regular Medicare and Medicare Advantage. It is covered 80%. Still expensive unless you have a supplement that covers it.

Yes they cover 80%, but my out of pocket was $625

@sbcher just wanted to make sure it was clear is it IS covered. I paid $427. And again there may be financial assistance through Amgen.

I checked into the cost of Evenity and was informed that my Traditional Medicare Part B and my co-insurance (Medigap insurance) would cover the cost of Evenity after I paid my deductible. I am required to get my injections in an infusion center. The injections would not be covered if I got Evenity in a doctor's office. It's worth checking your insurance and the billing.

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

Medicare Advantage does not have supplements.

@naturegirl5 I am surprised an infusion center will do those quick shots!
