Looking ahead after Tymlos: Reclast, Evenity or HRT?

I will take 6 Evenity injections and then Reclast annually for 3 years.
I have a bone DEXA scheduled in December but the cost is $800
Has anyone been successful in getting Medicare to cover before the two year wait between scans?

@clowny
Medicare should cover the cost of your dexa scans more ofter than the "every 2 yrs" that is normally allowed. Since you are taking now, or going to take, Evenity the Dr can order scans more often to monitor you and the effects of the meds. I've had blood tests and other scans before the required time and Medicare has covered the extra tests for just that reason.
