Thank you @windyshores ! Sorry I got your injection timing wrong. Reading the summary notes of my consult doc yesterday and wondering if we were in the same room. I inquired about Tymlos several times, no answer. That might be a good query to the group: "Is your Doctor listening to you?"

I was able to get an assistance card from Amgen (Prolia/Evenity) to pay $25 vs. $250 after my insurance paid their portion. It's noted on the card after age 65 it's not applicable. My doc was able to get that extended for Prolia. I think a number of these drugs have other funds available. as the costs are outrageous. The legwork on my part was worth it and big kudos for my doc for pushing it through.

For over 65 like me those discounts aren't offered. I rely on Radius Assist for Tymlosand Amgen does not have an Assist program. So glad you got the financial help!

I am on a Medicare Advantage Plan that includes drugs. So far, the most I have had to pay for any drug is $9.65. Prolia was at no cost to me. Of course, when selecting insurance, there are other considerations besides cost of drugs. I decided against continuing Prolia after one injection.
