Tymlos - how does ANYONE on Medicare pay for this drug?

Posted by jclang @jclang, Sep 14, 2022

I have been 'beating the bushes' to find help. I make just over the financial cut-off line for Forteo and Tymlos is worse. Their financial 'cutoff' is 13,000 and change (you can't make more than that per year!!!)

I am disgusted. I have reached out to every possible financial support organization and nothing works. I am not rich but if I pay what they want me to pay I will lose my condo!

I've tried the PAN foundation and all others like it. Social Security's rule is that you not make more than 20k a year to get help.

I have severe osteoporosis. I can't take bisphosenates. I am really angry at these greedy drug companies.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.

Talk to your endocrinologist about getting it at little or no cost through the pharmaceutical company. I am low enough income that I qualify for Forteo directly from Eli Lilly ---- Lillycares.
It is easy to apply and the doctor helped me.

P.S. No one should select UHC - Medicare Advantage. Terrible insurance. Sick people cannot navigate the loops and hurdles you must go through.

Well, United Healthcare is infamous for its coverage, or lack thereof.
