@sueinmn Sue-- I tried to find the "7% saline discussion to find the link" but without success.
Questions:
Are you still able to secure your saline for nebulizing with Original Medicare and the Supplement?
Do I understand fully ....the saline which is to flush the IV PICC lines is the same saline we need for nebulizing.... and that the doctor needs to order it in 4ml 7% if that is what one is to use for a patients BE treatment.??
Does that saline come stating Hypertonic or Sodium Chloride saline?
My last order has a $60.00 price tag vs the orders before were either four dollars and change, and then jumped to ten dollars in change. Going to $60.00 is a big difference.

@blm1007blm1007 I haven't needed to order saline yet in 2026, so I can't answer you. My Rx supplies 60 vials per month and I only use about 5-10, so have quite a stockpile.
As to whether there is a shortage, I'll ask my local independent pharmacist next time I call to refill prescriptions.
