Does anyone know whether Medicare Part B will still pay if I delay my October 7 shots until Oct. 22? That would increase the interval from my Sept. shots from 31 days to 46 days. I really need to delay but don't want to get hit with a $14,000 bill, which is what the infusion center charges. Thanks!

Why wouldn’t Part B still cover the injections? Usually the infusion center clears it before they administer it.
I am shocked at the $14,000
price tag. Last year when I was having Evenity infusions, I could see on Medicare statement that the charge was $6,000+.
I would recommend calling Medicare. Also be sure you have Medicare Part B and not Medicare Advantage. And remember that if Medicare covers it under Part B, you will still have to pay the annual deductible and Medicare [original] only pays 80%. You'll want to find out what your Medigap insurance will pay.

@marymj7 I don't know about whether Medicare Part B will pay if you delay your injections. I recommend you call Medicare and ask that question. I do know that I had to ask my prescribing physician to contact the infusion center where I get my injections when I needed to delay my injections beyond 30 days. Forty six days is a long time between injections. Have you discussed this with your prescribing physician?
