My Experience on Evenity for Treating Osteoporosis

I shatterd my wrist in late 2019 at age 64, so surgery and metal plates. No discussion of bone mass, then came Covid so no chance to update scans until January 2022. Now my lumbar spine is above 4 so my new rheumatologist is aghast! She prescribed Evenity but I cannot get through the insurance gauntlet. She also mentioned Forteo but that may be my next attempt at getting some treatment.

As I understand it, Evenity is covered under Medicare if you can wait till 65. ALSO: if you go to the Evenity website you can sign up for a copay that will reduce cost to $25!! Then you only need to cover the injection visit…I did this when my then insurance company was going to charge me $400/month. I did a year of Evenity and just had my Reclast infusion. My bone mass in a critical area went up 12%!! Think I’m technically osteopenia-so yeah?

Have you considered asking your doctor to help with getting through insurance approvals?
