Tymlos - how does ANYONE on Medicare pay for this drug?

@pam52 My doctor recommended Tymlos and they are working to get me approved for it through Medicare Advantage. If they want money upfront I will refuse and try something else. Is there a next best thing that doesn't require $2,000 up front? Did the switch to Evenity require that?

Fortunately, Medicare is covering the cost of Evenity, which is filed under Part A because they classify it as a medical expense. My doctor just had to get me approved for it first before she could prescribe it.
Let me know if they require you to pay for the Tymlos up front, please.
