The insurance process for Forteo & Tymlos

Thanks you for this The only hitch is my doctor. We have no relationship at all! I have never met her, only spoke to her once via cell at our first "meeting." Any communication has been done by her assistants & when I sent her a message that I would really appreciate having an actual meeting, I got a phone call message from someone who really reamed me out. I have given up on her.
I wanted to get Forteo or Tymlos but the financial aid application timeline ruled that out. I have gone far too long with pretty bad numbers to risk another extension. So I am stuck with Prolia for now. But not with her. I am going to see if I can switch to another branch of UW Endocrinology which is closer to me re driving time - which really makes sense especially during Wisconsin winters.
You have been a great help!

The Radius Assist application is quick. It really is better to do Tymlos first, but I understand your dilemma. Any doctor or nurse practitioner can sign the forms. Maybe you could at least print them out. The forms require very little from a doctor. Whoever prescribed Prolia can easily just sign the application. I actually drove it to the clinic as I remember.

Just get any provider to sign the paper. You fill out most of the form and include financial documentation (tax form), It really is easy.

I've posted this on some of the similar threads. I got 100% funding for Forteo. I go to a major clinic, begins with O. Their staff encouraged me to apply (hounded me actually). I filled out the paperwork and sent it back to their staff at the clinic. I was approved. My income is enough higher than the poverty level that I did not think I would be approved. Surprised when I found out I was. I was on it from fall of 2021 ending fall of 2023.

Fosamax beginning in fall of 2023 for those wondering.
