I don't know what BE and MAI stand for.

No, no suggestion of a baseline eye and hearing test, although they would have made sense. My pulmonologist did give me a heads-up, though, about needing both to monitor the meds.

I am on Medicare, so I appreciate that information about making appointments directly. Thank you.

Sorry I should have again spelled it out. BE is Bronchiectasis. MAI is Mycobacterium avium intracellulare, the type of bacteria.
Yes, many of my appointments I made directly. Some of those I did call did say I needed to be referred but that was just a couple of offices. I then notified my PCP Primary Care Physician I needed a referral to the specific doctor.
