That's great, Sue. Can you ask your pulmonologist for the Diagnosis Code she/he sent to Walgreens? Perhaps that might work for the Walgreens out here in the SF Bay Area.

I'm sorry you are having such issues. I know from past experience that my medical group, by policy, does not release diagnostic codes to patients. If it helps, I have NTM, Bronchiectasis, asthma, chronic overreactive airways and allergies. I really think your next "stop" in solving the puzzle should be your insurance provider's formulary - to see if 7% saline is listed. Then contact their customer service.
I hope you can get an answer. May I ask what your cost would be without insurance coverage?
Sue
