Should be covered like an outpatient infusion but you will have to pay the 20% medicare copay. Another alternative is XGEVA monthly but a lot more expensive I think. It is open enrollment for medicare. Can you buy a medicare supplemental plan in open enrollment, right now effective Jan 1, 2020?

You can request a dexa scan (for bone mineral density) from your MO or PCP. If ANY site shows osteopenia, then that diagnosis will make you eligible for Medicare coverage of Prolia or Xgeva, which is probably superior to Zometa. the injections are covered under Part B.

And yes as supplemental plan (especially F or G) is very nice to have!
