3% Saline vs. 7% for Nebulizing

I have been nebulizing with albuterol/Ipratropium and Budesonide twice daily since 2020. I have MAC and Bronchiectasis. I just had a CT scan and it compares favorably with previous scans indicating my condition is not worsening. At this appointment, my doctor added 3% saline to my neb routine. I checked GoodRx for best price since it is not covered by Medicare. It looks like I can get 180 vials 4ml of 3% sodium chloride for $33 at Walgreens.

@chisintexas That’s a good price! Last year I paid $22 for an mos supply. This year it went up to $48 for same amount with Good RX. I’ve tried many ways to get it through my Medicare but still comes back not covered.

@chisintexas MEDICARE covered mine. I have an advantage plan that covers doctors, prescriptions, vision and dental at no extra cost.
