Hi. I’m wondering how you’re doing with the Afflowvest currently. I’m just reading this thread. I started the HillRom about 3 weeks ago & neb 7% saline at the same time. I do this 2-3x/d 25 minutes each. Sometimes I don’t fit a midday session in but 3 really helps clear me up so I feel better. I have BE, MAC that didn’t clear after treatment (maybe starting new regimen) & chronic pseudomonas. It’s a lot of work & I only feel better if I do it so I’m motivated to continue. I used to use aerobika before a pseudomonas exacerbation. It’s not enough anymore. How do you like the afflowvest? did you buy it or did your insurance cover it? My insurance only covers HillRom. I’m thinking about purchasing a refurbished Afflowvest for the mobility. Good luck & thanks for any input.

Medicare and I guess secondary insurance covered the hillrom vest

Medicare paid for my Afflovest as a rental fee for about 5 years. Now it is evidently paid for because it no longer shows on my Medicare statements. I have bronchiectasis and use it daily after the saline nebulizer treatment. I find it very heavy for me walk around with it and have to use the low setting.
