Hi @marlin and @nac1, you'll notice that I moved your questions about Arikayce to this existing discussion. I did this so you can read through past relevant post and to connect with other members like @irene5 @sounder27 @diane36 @jr2366 @yaggi01 @judyhodgern who have used Arikayce and may be able to share experiences and answer questions re:
1) did you start on IV antibiotics first or start directly on the inhaled version?
2) cost of Arikayce.

Thanks for info. Waiting for susceptibilities to come back and visit with ID doc so will know more in next few weeks. Does anyone know if insurance typically covers arikayce. I have bc/bs typically good coverage after deductible met.
