Anyone familiar with pH balanced 7% saline, rather than acidic type?

Irene @irenea8 It is only available with a prescription. My cost is $40 a month out of pocket for Pulmosal 7%. I have read where anyone getting any brand of 7% saline can reduce their cost by making sure the doctor puts certain info on the prescription. So I asked my pharmacist and she said for Medicare part B to pay anything there must be a medical diagnostic code in the prescription. So I looked on Google and found there is a medical code for Bronchiectasis being J47.9 (Full code being: 2023 ICD-10-CM J47.9) Does anyone on this forum have experience with this? Thanks Bill

I just spoke with my pulmo today and asked him to prescribe PulmoSal so thank you for this information. I sent a message for him about the medical code. he probably already knows but not sure and the salt is very expensive otherwise. I pay a ton for mine from Amazon!
