Hi Laurel,
I may be wrong. I went on the Humana (Medicare advantage) website again and Arikayce was on there. What was confusing is there were 2 prices that was listed, 1 was about $15,700 and another was about $15,500. What I didn't see was a footnote that it could be covered and would require doctor submitting a request, and they would decide. So maybe I'll be okay? I have another appointment with ID doctor this week and I will ask her what she thinks. What else did you take besides Arikayce? I hear there's a study showing that Rifampin isn't needed with Arikayce? I have M. Abscesses, so treatment may vary. Amakacin is definitely needed for my bug. It has a fairly high susceptibility rating.
Thank you for the information,
Kathy
