Insurance company is denying Evenity

I just got a call from my Dr stating my insurance company BCBS is denying Evenity. They want me to do Prolia first. I told the person who called me that Prolia is the one drug I didn’t want to do. That there is research showing if I do that first the Evenity won’t be as effective, also that Prolia rebounds quickly. She agreed with me, but this is what insurance company wants done first. I said it’s ridiculous they get to dictate my healthcare. Again she agreed. She told me to think about it and call them back.

I was diagnosed back in February with a -2.7 in spine. Hips are still in osteopenia, don’t remember those numbers. I decided in May to go on Evenity and it’s been a battle ever since. A couple years ago I tried Fosomax when I was still in osteopenia and had reaction of severe pain in my right hip, so I stopped taking it after 3 weeks. I’m afraid if I can’t tolerate Fosomax I’m not going to tolerate Prolia. Not sure what to do at this point. 😣
