My husband is 75 and has severe osteoporosis with 14 fractured vertebrae all on the front side causing hyper kyphosis. His spinal fusion is scheduled for January 14th. He has been on Forteo over 2 months now. We have Medicare Prescription Part D. They are paying but we still have about $500 copay and it’s hard to get. I looked up several other options in the insurance and the ones available to us to do not cover it at all. A year supply is over $40,000. So for now we are sticking with the one we have. His fusion will be from C2 to T12 so it’s extensive. But his chin touches his chest now and he has trouble swallowing and shortness of breath from the kyphosis. He’s kinda”damned if you do and damned if you don’t “. Hope you get some help and relief.
