For me, Tymlos is paid for by United Healthcare/AARP my prescription health ins. I have Medicare with Blue Shield, but my IVIG and TYmlos and other prescriptions are again thru AARP ins. This year, there is a cap on prescription meds for us medicare patients at $2,000. Once you reach that cap for the rest of the year, your ins. will pay. Some prescription ins. companies may not cover Tymlos, in which case you would want to switch to one that does. I hope this is helpful. Tymlos is terrific.

adam08, how much is your copay for Tymlos with the AARP prescription plan.

I have medicare part A and B. I also have part D (prescription drug plan). This year the donut hole has been removed so there are no copays after you have paid out @2,000. In January I paid a $600 copay. I also had a copay for IVIG in Jan. For the rest of the year I have no copays. Based on age, I pay about $170 per month for the AARP ins. Clearly, it is best for me to pay the monthly premium in order to not have the copays. I suggest you get some advice on this to see what might work better for you.
