I also use the nebulizer and compressor made by Monaghan, the same company that makes the Aerobika. The nebulizer is the AeroEclipse XL and the compressor is the Ombra. I also have a question for others in the group. My Aerobika will be a year old in October and should be replaced at that time. I purchased it myself last year, but would like to know if anyone has had success getting one paid for by Medicare. If so, where did you purchase it (must be a Medicare provider in order for them to pay)? Thank you! Donna Turnbaugh

I paid out of pocket for my first aerobika because I was still trying to navigate my way around with my new diagnosis and treatment. When it was time to get a replacement I had read that Medicare would pay for it. I related that information to my pulmonary staff and they sent me one. I take extremely good care of my aerobika so don't stick with the "replace in one year" rule. They are sterilized and work fine so I don't see the need to replace them. Faye

Because the Aerobika is recommended for annual replacement it is a supply and not durable medical equipment. So it will probably depend on the terms of your supplemental insurance.
