Does Medicare Part B cover sodium chloride solution?

If it is an inhaled medication, and you have prescriptions for both the solution and a nebulizer, it is covered under Medicare Part B. Prod them! CVS and Walgreens have both covered mine. You pay 20% - my last charge was $8 and change for 60 vials.

Sue,
I don't believe sodium chloride is considered an inhaled medication. Is it? In the NTMir discussion group, someone said Medicare B covers her prescription for sodium chloride only if she picks it up along with her prescription for abuterol. If you asked only for the sodium chloride, she has to pay out of pocket. Are you saying you've been able to get CVS and Walgreens to cover just the sodium chloride? And do you know what Diagnosis Code your doctor has sent to CVS? Maybe my doctor is using the wrong code.

I'm facing this as well, was turned down. I bought a nebulizer from Amazon so may need my ID doctor to prescribe a new nebulizer. Thanks for the heads up!
