← Return to Insurance is rejecting Tymlos after 90 days

This happened to me but I was on private insurance (Cigna) through my employer. It was very annoying because I had a prior authorization for the full two years. Why approve and have someone start on a medication if you plan to pull it after 3 months.

I was told by Cigna that I hadn’t used generic Forteo first to see if it worked for me. Not sure why that wasn’t communicated to start. It then took nearly three months to get my prescription filled due to communication issues between the specialty pharmacy, Cigna, and my doctor.

I’ve been on teriparatide for two months now so we’ll see what happens at the end of three months.

I’m sorry to hear you are going through this and hope you can get it straightened out.

@oopsiedaisy. you said, " Why approve and have someone start on a medication if you plan to pull it after 3 months."

My thoughts exactly! I particularly wanted to use Tymlos, so I could titrate. Maybe after 3 months my body will be used to the extra PTH boost, and I'll be able to tolerate Forteo, though the bone pain I'm hearing about sounds really awful.
