Thank you for this update. What does it mean to "file a claim with Medicare"? I was told the same "must be mixed with albuterol" by one pharmacy in my area (a small one). Walgreens has been useless I agree. They claim they can not get it at all in my area. I found this on line "Who is the largest pharmaceutical distributor in the US?
About 92 percent of prescription drugs in the United States are distributed through wholesalers, with three — AmerisourceBergen, Cardinal Health, and McKesson Corporation — accounting for more than 90 percent of wholesale drug distribution in the United States.Jul 20, 2022" I wonder if calling them might help to find the solution?

You fill out form 1490S and send this and other supporting documents to the Medicare billing contractor in your region. Then you wait 60 business days for a response! Worth a shot.
