I'm curious if anyone with M.Abscessus and has Medicare Advantage plan been approved for Nuzyra? Though, I am now testing negative for MABC, my ID doctor told me recurrence/reinfection is 50%. My current Medicare Advantage plan denied coverage last May for Abscessus. Also, my insurance broker told me that Bronchiectasis is an exclusion for Medigap, so at this time and unless things change, I'm stuck with Medicare Advantage. I have since learned that Nuzyra is not considered a standard treatment for MABC. which gives the insurance company a loophole in denying coverage. I'm trying to stay vigilant to avoid reinfection.

@kathyjjb I have traditional Medicare Supplement Medical Mutual and my script plan is WellCare. WellCare has covered Nuzyra and inhaled Arikayce. My ID had to complete extensive request information. Can you switch to traditional from advantage and choose a script plan?
