Forteo Costs

This is what I saw too. I don't understand how people with 178k income are getting forteo for free when both the website & application list the range as $43k-120k (latter requires a 6-person household!) Phone rep confirmed all of this, as well.

For folks living alone or with 1 other person, it's $43k or $59k/year max

RXAdvocates says I qualify. How do I apply for needles from LilyCares?

You need a prescription for the needles and can pick them up at any pharmacy.
Mini Needle BD ultra-fine III or Ultra-Fine PRO 4mm 100ct

The best price on the needles is $51.99 at CVS. Double what I last paid. Hydrate before the injection. You might have a salty snack. I take 250mg of calcium a couple of hours before.
You'll experience vasodilation minutes after the injection. So be careful. Your balance might be a little off.
You don't need to pinch your skin with these needles, but if you do and then let go before injecting, you'll be less likely to bruise.
I hope you have good luck

I didn't realize that a box of pen needles were so expensive ($51.99). (I get my 100-count box through my HMO's pharmacy for around three dollars.)
I did see one can get BD ultra-fine pen short needles (31g x 8mm), which I use, for less than $30 a box through diabetes suppliers and Amazon. (Lilly Answer Center told me the BD pens were part of the Forteo clinical trial protocol decades ago.)
There's more about Tymlos/Forteo pen needles at https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/needles-for-tymlos-pen/.

You can buy needles online or at a drugstore, but some stores require you to have a prescription, but maybe just showing your Forteo prescription will be enough. There are some diabetic supply sites that offer many kinds. I use 5mm, 31 gauge needles. They are 6 bevel, which are hard to find, but 5 bevel are more available and much more comfortable than 3 bevel.

I get my needles for Forteo at CVS drug store a box of 100 for 8.00

I just learned that my copay for Forteo is $777.76. Blue Cross pays the rest...I cannot afford to pay over $700 a month for a medication. Does anyone know if there are discount coupons available for this drug. I've never searched for coupons before so I don't know what I'm doing. Many thanks.

Disregard this post. My insurance gave me the company’s number and they provided info that brought the cost down to almost nothing!

vkmov, I'm so glad. Can you share the number ?
