Medicare B coverage of Evenity

The only other thing though is that my endocrinologists both say I will always have to be on these drugs forever once I start them. Is anyone else here concerned about that??

edwinabutterfly,
I’m unsure about this myself. I had 12 months of Evenity snd then an infusion of Reclast. No one has discussed with me what the next step is. I’m assuming that I will have another infusion of Reclast in a year or so. Then another. Then maybe a drug holiday. ????
I’m going through this process and the Evenity was a success.
My problem is my endocrinologist and my rheumatologist. Useless.
Neither have reached out to me about my dexa or anything else. They both only seem to have a basic knowledge of osteoporosis and treat the osteoporosis patients like a side hustle in their practice. When I asked the rheumatologist about ordering blood work, he had to look up the tests. He had never heard of them.
So, I have been very fortunate in that I had minimal side effects from drugs and the Evenity did its job. I just wish that I had more engagement from doctors.
