Evenity Cost

Posted by rjkesal123 @rjkesal123, Nov 14 6:46am

I will start Evenity in January. It looks like I will use traditional Medicare, plan G Humana/medigap. Has anyone been on these plans and had Evenity paid for. It's very hard to get anyone, insurance or my doctor's office to quote what will be charged. Any suggestions?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.

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.
