Cost of Evenity injections
Does anyone know what is the out of pocket cost for Evenity if one has traditional Medicare with a supplement vs Medicare advantage program?
I was told by Aetna Medicare Advantage CONY the the out of pocket cost is $602.89
for each injection visit. They said Evenity is a tier V medication. I heard Medicare part B covers 80% and Medigap or supplement covers 20%. However I think the out of pocket cost for every Evenity visit would be costly.. appreciate a reply and thanks. Shula

Initially I was confused about this. I thought the supplement plan would cover something that Medicare denied and that's not accurate.
@dianeg77 Found your post today and wanted to know how your process was with the Amgen Support+ Co-pay Program. I know all bills/providers/etc. are different and might not fit my case. However, in your situation, did the $8K cover all 12 months of your Evenity costs?
I had Evenity for 12 months.
Original Medicare and uhc supplemental .

Paid nothing. I do not know if this would have been different if I had not taken fosomax and forteo first. Never had an Osteoporosis related fracture.
I haven't endocrinologist who is very active when dealing with approvals
I would talk with your doctor and the billing department and get to the bottom of this.
@gravity3 thanks. I'm 52, so not yet on Medicare.
My endo is still iffy in my book, but she was the only one I could find that accepts my insurance with OP as a specialty. Have already spoken to the billing department. However, what wasn't made clear to me is what happens once the $8K Amgen program maximum is reached.
@nermar1
Time for a sit down with billing?
