@hollygs I was curious about the rules around doctor’s not taking Medicare as I am on Medicare, too. Looks like your doctor will have to create a contract with you before providing services that says neither of you will bill Medicare, if he opted out of providing Medicare reimbursed services.
Here’s a good link explaining it all. This site provides directives for the doctor, telling them what they can or cannot do.
You have to scroll down the web page to find the section on Opt Out Of Medicare.

hollygs, I wonder if the (we have to say dilligent) doctor who worried about Tymlos after Evenity would be assuaged by information that the black box warning against Tymlos and osteosarcoma has been removed.
Tymlos is prescribed to aid in the recovery from osteonecrosis.
Has your doctor filed an "opt-out" request with Medicare? If so, your Part D drug coverage can still be used.
