Good morning, friends! Has anyone tried a new Rx called Ohtuvayre used in a nebulizer? Did insurance cover it,? Your experience? Thanks.

Medicare B pays for most of my nebulizer and meds. My secondary insurance pays the rest. I do not pay anything.

Hi @A MyCOPDTeam Member, I've been using Ohtuvayre for 9-12 months and I love it. I've not had any side effects that I'm aware of only an improvement in my breathing. Don't be afraid to use it. I'm on Medicare and I don't pay anything for it. Not sure, but I believe that there are no charges for nebulized meds, but be sure to check that out. If you don't get help from Medicare or your insurance, the charge could be prohibitive for most folks.
