Thanks again for your story. If you don't mind, which country are you in? I'm in Canada and the Evenity would be $800 a month, and I'm not sure if any insurance company would cover that, so that's why I'm wondering if you were denied insurance in Canada? (and if they know ahead of time that I'd be doing this drug they certainly wouldn't be interest in taking me on!)

@yogalisac I am in the U.S. I have Original Medicare. Medicare Part B ($174.70/month with an annual deductible $240)) and my supplemental insurance ($160/mo) paid the full price of $5000 (yikes!!) for the Evenity each month. I pay out-of-pocket for my Traditional (also referred to as Original) Medicare Plan and I easily meet the deductible every year. Insurance is a mess in the U.S. as you probably know. With Original Medicare I do not need pre-approval.

$800 per month is a lot. Evenity is still at the propriety phase with no generic on the market so the medication is expensive.

I shared a lot of information but does this answer your question? What province are you in?
