What did you infuse for 3 weeks? That seems like a long time but you say you only did it for 3 weeks. Was longer recommended? Does medicare cover if you do infusions at home?

I infused Ceftazidime for 3 weeks, which was a custom compound by a company who shipped the medications and supplies. Three weeks was the full treatment.
I am on regular Medicare, Supplement and Part D for prescriptions. The compound was covered by Part D with hefty copays. I had to pay out of pocket for the supplies and the nurse who trained me to do the infusion. The weekly nurse visits are to be covered by Medicare, I have not received any invoices from the Nurse vendor and have not received my EOB from Medicare yet, as this happened in March. Hopefully the nurse visits will be covered as I was told .
