7% Saline Prescription and Medicare Part B payment quandry

I have never been able to get mine covered. The pharmacy attached to the BE Center of Excellence I use told me that Medicare does not cover this unless prescribed for a medication that is to be mixed with it. Normally one does not mix albuterol and 7% saline. I use GoodRX and get a 30 day supply for about $10.00.

I have ALWAYS mixed my albuterol with my saline. I am so old that it was never administered any other way back in the day! Helps to cut the coughing and throat irritation from the 7% saline also. I fully recommend doing this! And yes, I have to use my Good RX card to get a discount.
