Need advice for wife

@njx58, if your wife starts Forteo in December, her new ACA doctor will be likely to continue the prescription. I always get three pens per script. Is Forteo covered under her new formulary. Her new plan may not cover a prescription ordered by a doctor not in their contract. I suspect. You might enquire. Worth a try.

@gently I'm keeping my wife on her current insurance through August for convenience sake. I got her in to see my doctor early December.

Update: she had some blood tests, and she has an overactive thyroid. Her PTH and T3 are high; not crazy high, but above normal. We'll have plenty of tests to show the doctor when we go. This could be a factor. We'll see if this impacts the timing of starting medication, or if she's going to need thyroid meds first. No idea.
