@hopeful33250 @beejenigma @sueinmn I just went through getting my prescription for 7% saline from my usual pharmacy (Publix). They did submit to Medicare Part B and told me it was declined. I went home and called Medicare. I must say, I had no problem getting through and they were very helpful. They confirmed that it is covered under part b and called my pharmacy with me on the line to find out why it wasn't going through. It turns out Medicare covers it but Publix will not accept the Medicare payment for this prescription. I called several pharmacies and they all told me the same thing. Finally I called Walgreens and they told me they do accept part b. I am having my prescription transferred and will see if it actually goes through. So, it seems your doctor does need to code it as durable medical equipment but you also need to find a pharmacy that will accept part b. Whew, what a battle...for salt water! Imagine, no problem getting all of these other toxic medications but salt water is a hassle!

@hopeful33250 I have been using the 7% saline for almost 2 years now but getting it through private insurance. I just recently became eligible for medicare. I can't really say how it has worked for me as I have been using it for close to 2 years now and still no negative culture. I do think it helps with getting more mucus up.
