My doctor finally found an inhaler that will help with my cough. He gave me 3 samples and it was such a relief. Now that I want a prescription, medicare does not cover it. Bought privately, 3 of them - a months supply - is 325.00. My doctor is appealing an authorization but who knows, they probably still won’t cover it, I’m probably too old and not worth it.
Im caught up in the CPap industry. My last yearly appt with the doc, waiting in the room, checking out the fancy options and flashy advertising on a board full of about 30 different inhalers of all types. I figured one a month, you need 3. I bet the cheapest one cost $75, and yours at $325 probly isnt the most expensive one.
I tell all my doctors that the industrialization and media marketing on prescription products really makes them look like unethical snake-oil salesmen. I get some very peculiar looks from “medical professionals”.
