Thank you sir, for this information.
My husband has had no problems with Prolia - it seems to be the one thing that has improved his situation. The problem now is, he has been on for so long, the endo wants him to give it a break and try another drug. Hence, trying for Evenity, which she (the endo) said insurance denied since wasn't approved for men. The ortho surgeon wanted the endo doc to ask for a "peer-to-peer" with insurance but she said no it would not be approved since FDA hasn't approved it for men. Our insurance is Medicare, with the supplement being UHC thru AARP (not an advantage plan or PPO). May I ask how you were able to be approved for Evenity? That is our goal as both doctor and pharmacist said it is the most targeted drug for his situation. After his hip revision, he was in hospital rehab, a wheel chair for months, walker, and now a cane. Any direction you can give is appreciated. We are fighting for his mobility and quality of life. Thank you.

I am sorry to hear about your husband’s dilemma. I was told by my doctor’s clinic that my approval for Evenity may have been due to the fact that I had experienced an osteoporosis related spinal fracture, and I was high risk for another and needed significant bone rebuilding. It was submitted to my insurance and approved without question as far as I know. Possibly, you can relay this info to your Endocrinologist?
I hope this helps and best of luck to you and your husband.
