I was diagnosed with Osteoporosis after a fall that cracked my femur in 2012. I was 57 . I started Prolia shots a yr later ( 1 every six months ) in my Drs office , and had bone density scans every 2 yrs and my insurance paid all but $200.
When I turned 65 , I was on Medicare with a supplement . My Medicare would only pay for the Prolia if I had the injection at an Infusion Center . I still have the bone density scans and my results always show that it is slightly creeping up . I only had a small rash at the injection site after the first dose , and I haven’t had any bone breaks after all these yrs . (I’m 70) and very active .
I would check with your Medicare rep and ask why your shot is so expensive . If you’re not on a supplement to your Medicare , this is possibly why your cost is so high . Prolia is definitely worth it ! Hope this helps .
