I'm pretty new to treatment also. Until recently I had been doing nothing. I'm told my disease is very mild. Both my AZ pulmonologist and NJH have told me that. I do have a bacteria which is so far not identified but does qualifies for NTM. I try not to let this overwhelmed me, but taking care of this does take attention and time.
I have Medicare and AARP insurance. So far I have no idea what they will cover. NJH would not give me an estimate even. Sorry. They do a lot of tests there. I don't think any were not warranted, but I'm not sure all were necessary.
I'll stayed at an expensive, not worth it, hotel. I took Ubers back and forth. They were readily available. Another member of this site knows an Arb and b within walking distance. Those initials are not right, but I'm sure you know what I mean.
Please feel free to write anytime. Do you live near Denver?
Roz

@rozie83 I’ve been to NJH 4 times now. They are wonderful. I have Bronchiectasis, NO NTM thank goodness. I have chronic pseudomonas, that I keep under control with nebulizing using 7% 3x a day. I have Medicare with AARP supplement. I never have had any problems or bills. I make my ow referrals. My NJH doctor prescribed Brinsupri 25mg 2 months ago. It’s working great for me.
