@ngk1 Thanks! I'll check out MUSC in Charleston too. I have difficulty standing and walking, so traveling is problematic for me, but I may have to do it to get answers.

I'm sorry you're unable to get the osteoporosis meds you want. I find that the problems with Medicare coverage so often are with the private insurance aspects of it, such as the Medicare Part D, Medigap, or Medicare Advantage policies. I have original Medicare A and B, but I accidentally lost my supplementary/Medigap coverage last fall (brain fog). By the time I realized it, I was past the grace period and couldn't get it reinstated without going through underwriting. With all my health problems, I can't get underwritten—period. Yep, pre-existing conditions are still a thing. I don't want to go with a Medicare Advantage plan (again, private insurance) because of limited access to specialists and need for prior approval. Because of some expensive tests (e.g., heart catheterization), my 20% copays are killing me.
