I, too, am new to your group and was told by several people that 7% saline is not covered by Part B. I fortunately was able to get 180 vials at Walgreens for about $20 with a GoodRx coupon. Please let me know how you found out it is covered, although it sounds like it is actually more expensive using Part B! Thank you so much for all your helpful advice. Donna Turnbaugh

In reply to @donnaturn….. I do not pay anything through pt. B for the 7% solution but my pharmacist had to talk directly with my pulmonologist’s office at Mayo for the script to be accepted by Medicare. It took a few tries for Mayo to get the script written exactly as it needed to be. Unfortunately, I don’t know the exact wording but maybe your pharmacist would?
