Need help to lower high cholesterol & high triglycerides

Does it have side effects? I'm on Medicare so I wonder if they would cover it. My cardiologist mentioned that and I have to see their lipid specialist who is located inside a hospital, at this point my children do not want me to go near a hospital.

@mayofeb2020 I have not experienced side effects. Repatha lowered my LDL by 50%. Due for bloodwork f/u in April.
One minor side effect. Sometimes, not everytime, there is some soreness at the injection site but it disappears fairly quickly. Injection is every two weeks and very easy to administer.

I'm in Canada so can't help with the Medicare question.
