What I have been told is the insurance companies want you to start with the less expensive drugs.
Your doctor should help you convince the insurance company why you need to take that medicine.
Contacted the company that makes Evenity.
Good luck!

There is an assistance program linked to the pharmaceutical company that makes Evenity. It may help pay for the drug, should you need it. It's called Amgen Safety Net Foundation.

@rjkesal123 I posted a similar question and received answers that I think will be helpful to you. Also, like you I have Original Medicare (Parts A and B) and Supplement G with a Medigap policy.

I have not yet seen the bill but my understanding is that my injections will be paid for, in total, because I get my injections in an infusion center.

Tufts tells me it will cost me $300 per month. Ouch.

Just found this chat group. I am not on Medicare and was able to get approved for the Amgen SupportPlus Co-Pay program. I have had 2 treatments so far and not paid a cent. My endocrinologist uses Providence Hospital for the treatments and they enrolled me in the program.

thank you so much for this info.
Hope Evenity will work well for you, and that your doctor tracks your progress.

I, too have Medicare with an advantage plan. I pay a small OV fee of less than $35, however as Evenity is billed as an injectable it’s administered in a doc’s office so it doesn’t fall under Part D, unlike Tymlos where there’s the donut hole and MOOP to contend with. My monthly Evenity injections total just about $440 (x 12 doses). Seems like a lot until one considers the future costs of fracture risk: PT, X-rays and MRI’s, not to mention the pain, time, and loss of mobility associated with the fractures themselves. Might also be overall cheaper than Tymlos therapy. Cheers!

Have you read all the side effects of Evenity? Plus you can only take it for 1 year. You should look them up.
I’ve had bad leg pain from all the injectable bone builders so even if the drs’ are all over me to begin another med again. I’m done

Thanks so much.
if I'm reading you correctly, looks like you"ll be responsible for around $1600?

I understand completely.
Hope that fatigue passes quickly...
