Forteo vs. Tymlos: Which did you choose?

@contentandwell, Yes I have the drug part or Medicare D which is then farmed out to another carrier. Since the Tymlos hasn' been a whole year....I can't fill in all the gaps.
Initially, I paid about $550 a month in the summer. Then it went down in the coverage gap. Then it went down further in the last two months. I picked up 3 prescriptions ...2 very pricey ones and gabapentin last Friday. The total was $90 so I am pretty sure that the Tymlos was about $50.
My advisor said I need to stay with the same carrier and that financially it will be about the same as last year. Is there something you want to know specifically? I am not good at this stuff at all. I can barely understand all the ins and outs of the plans. That is why I have an insurance advisor who keeps me "covered" pretty well. Have a restful sleep. Chris

@artscaping Thanks, Chris. I just wondered the approximate cost if this is what I am prescribed. I presume that the other drugs are priced similarly.
The cost of drugs is ridiculous. As I said, I was paying more than that for xifaxan. When I was using xifaxan the full price was about $2400 a month, our cost @$700 a month. I had a brand new bottle of the pills when I got my transplant. I wanted to send them to someone I got to know online who needed them but my husband was very concerned about the legality of it so they were disposed of. Lactulose is cheap and I had almost a case of it but the whole case was only about $60.
