Medicare Prescription Drug Plan Change

Posted by cwal @cwal, 1 day ago

I received letter of notice in the mail that Medicare would no longer cover 7% saline starting Jan 1st. Has anyone else gotten this notice?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the MAC & Bronchiectasis Support Group.

I thought this was not covered by Medicare. I’ve been using GoodRX

@cwal Had Medicare been paying for your 7% saline....it appears it had?????

I didn't get a letter, but my Kaiser medicare plan has been covering the saline. I am going back onto Original Medicare starting Jan 1, and when I was signing up for Part D prescription plan, I was informed that Medicare would not cover the saline.

It has not been covering my saline at all. The rules say only if it is used to mix in with something … I guess like a powder or concrete of some sort. Good RX is the best price I’ve found but it varies from pharmacy.
