Thank you very much Gently and Windyshores.
Windyshores, problem is in my doc. She does not KNOW how to order 1 mg Reclast, Code for 1 mg Reclast is Code J3489: Represents "Injection, zoledronic acid, 1mg , she told me that Medicare does not allow to do Reclast 1 mg 4 times a year. And I told her that on Mayo clinic forum from North , Boston and others patients receive this dose 4 times a year. I could not find anywhere what needs to ad to the code j3489. I will try again to speak with Medicare but last time a woman told me that it is prohibited and she will lose her job if she tells me code. I wanted to write 2.5 mg Reclast, not 0.5 mg, for half of year a dosage will be., to protect me for half of year. And my doc told me that it looks so way that PROLIA again for me only one choice. I am 77, do not think that I could live more that 3-5 years, but I do not want Prolia again. Now I know that if you miss a shot of Prolia -fracture! Life is so unpredictable, I have a lonely sister in another country, she has no anybody, only me. What is in the Future?
And if I can tolerate 2.5 mg Reclast-half of dosage than may be to do next for my own money, but here they told me that I can not pay my own money for Reclast. I do not know-- may be there are lawyers for medical problems? And I do not have problems with jaw, problem is that Prolia does not work after 10 years, doc told me and it was the truth -on my density.
I will study Evenity, because only one month of alendronate helped me to reduce CTX, may be Evenity will help in some way.
Girls, God bless you and grant you good health.
Thanks a lot.

A 1mg dose is unusual. You might get a 2.5 mg Reclast infusion if your doctor authorizes it as medically necessary. Evenity is an option too, perhaps, but ask your doctor.
