My insurance covered Zometa for infusion due to osteopenia. I am getting every 3 week Herceptin (as an adjuvant) and got my ovaries removed to be able to take Arimidex. At that time, my gyno ordered a bone density and I was in the beginning phase of osteopenia. He said that since I was still getting IV drugs, might as well talk to my onc on getting Zometa every 6 months. Got the first one in November and the second will be in May. After that, I will have to probably go on something in November since Herceptin will be well over by then (unless ASCO comes out with something about a second year as my first year is up in mid June).
So... some insurance will approve for other reasons. Mine did.
Best regards,
Becky
