I was just notified by the Volara representative that Medicare now will not pay if you have the percussion vest because they are considered to function the same. I believe she said this was a recent change. I would have liked to try the Volara as it has 3 functions and gets meds deeper into lungs from what I was told.

@melinda561 Depending upon how long you have had the VEST I wonder if they would do an exchange???? Vest for Volara. If that is possible.

@melinda561 Thanks for that crucial info. A bit unfair since some of us can't use the vest anymore because of bone pain or other reasons. Let's just hope that brensacatib and other new meds help us.
