@mayblin, Thank you so much for providing these links. I am on an AARP UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage plan. $2200 annual out-of-pocket sounds good. I worried after my endocrinologist visit when she said I'll be paying about $27 000 - $29 000 per year. The specialty pharmacy is ready to ship. How does this financial part work? Do I need to apply for the manufacturer coupons before the specialty pharmacy ships it?

@md79 Hi. I have also just been prescribed brand name Forteo (which was denied) and now Teriparatide 3 days ago... and am on Medicare. I have United supplement and AARP United rx coverage. All of this seems very confusing and I am trying to take it one step at a time... but Im pretty sure the drug companies do not give coupons if you are on medicare. (?). My former rheumatologist shared once I pay the co pay... Im done for the year. ...until the following January 1. My march DEXA was -4.8 in spine... I had my 4th spine fracture that month as well... ugh. Almost cant believe Im writing this bc I'm fairly active and can even "function" somewhat after fracture - with the right meds - (but its intermittently super painful for around 2-3 weeks... and then heals slowly from there...) My friend did Forteo for 2 yrs and improved her DEXA 23% then reclast improved it 12% more. Im hopeful. ...blessings and prayers for both of us!!
