Oh my, I apologize. I wrote you a long answer yesterday, only to have my computer shut down before I could push "Reply"

Please know - if prescribed by a doctor, Medicare Part B covers nebulizer, Albuterol & saline. If your husband has Medicare Part B or an "umbrella" Advantage Plan or a supplement, IT IS COVERED. Two things often happen - pharmacists submit it under Part D (prescription drugs) - which is incorrect, and it gets rejected. Or, the wrong diagnostic and dispensing codes were used.

Here is the official 2022 information from the government:

Feel free to share this with your care team.

Sue, Thanks for the link but really why does Medicare have to be so complicated with this. Has anyone had Medicare pay for a specific Nebulizer? Bill
