Anyone taken Evenity (romosozumab) for Osteoporosis?

I have Medicare with aarp supplement. At the time that I was taking Tymlos, my insurance didn’t cover. It would have been Part D, but they didn’t cover. That was because you give it to yourself at home. I’m on Evenity now and it’s covered because you go to infusion center or hospital.
Evenity not costing anything.

I always took the full dose.

I had asked my doctor about Evenity vs Tymlos due to cost. His reasoning for prescribing Tymlos is that it has been shown to assist in fracture healing. Since I have 2 delayed healing fractures it made sense to me. Although my part D plan made an exception to cover it, my copay is high. Hopefully, I will be out of the donut hole soon and it will cost less than $750/month.

We have a medicare advantage plan - have a copay but our plan covers the bulk if the cost. You definitely need to check with your insurance company as not all medicare advantage plans are the same. Percentage of copays vary.

Anyone under a doctor's care for bone problems deserves to be listened to. Having any type of bone problem should have the attention of others who are experiencing doubt about taking all these medications. I heard that the doctors where I go are required to use these new medications on their patients even when the drugs are relatively new - not sure about this requirement???? My doctor handed me a lot of papers he printed out with all the trials for a particular drug. He thought this justified its use??

Could you tell me what the infusion center or hospital charges Medicare?

I won’t know what the infusion center is charging Medicare until I get a statement from Medicare.
I will def look at the statement and post about it.

I think it's important to look over all of the options and then ask the very important question: How many of your patients are taking Evenity? In my case my doctor has had quite a few patients on Evenity and felt confident in the drug. He had already seen good results.

I posted a separate discussion on Evenity after Tymlos (or after Forteo). I have gotten two opinions and neither will prescribe that sequence due to "lack of data" so I am curious how/where people are getting this prescribed.

Thxs @windyshores, I wanted to ask you this question earlier, then lost my page, lol. Why they both were against you trying Evenity, for a maybe short time, after tymlos.
