Treating Osteoporosis: What works for you?

Have you looked into Medicare Advantage for your coverage? I switched 2 years ago and my husband, who's also on MA, and I are both happy with it. We are on the Kaiser Permanente Orange County plan, and although we have co-pays, it's still less than my former Medicare along with Supplemental Insurance. MA covers medication, and I pay an extra $20/month for dental, hearing, eye care, and gym membership. Medicare Advantage costs only the monthly Medicare cost of $140. The yearly deductible is less than my previous Medicare plus Supplemental.
You may find that it's a good thing for you. I recommend that you check it out.

I was checking out Kaiser Permanente a few years back. They turned me down. I'm not kidding. They said I was too sick. So I think Kaier is fine until you get sick(er(. You get a lot of services for your money.
Thanks for the suggestion, @gailb, but I have considered it and for me it would just not work as well, from what I have heard there are too many restrictions, etc.
I almost missed your response. Since I am less active now and have joined the ranks of "alumni mentor" I don't go through all of them. It helps if you address the person with the @ and their name so they will be notified. My "name" is contentandwell.
@artscaping And those injections are daily, correct?

Hi, GailBL, thanks for the suggestion. I was on Medicare Advantage for 10 years. When their profits dropped in Southern California because too many seniors lived there, they made MA totally unavailable. I now live and register in MN. So I am on my second year of MN with a CA add on just in case I stub my toe while there.
I will ask my agent in plenty of time.
May you be free and content.
