Guest guest Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Greetings, Heavy Breathers Insurance coverage re Xolair is obviously a can of worms from what I've seen on posts. I have a question I hope can be resolved easily, but I doubt it. I've been receiving the shots for about a year. According to my pulmo, in order to have Medicare cover the shots, I have to go to a local (12 miles) hospital outpatient services department for the shots twice a month. Medicare covers part and BCBS picks up balance, so Xolair costs me nothing except for gas. However, I'd like to get the stuff at home and let my wife, an RN, give me the shots. Is anyone covered by Medicare and BCBS able to get the stuff for free at home??? With my miserable susceptibility to upper respiratory infection (I have a pic line in my arm now for antibiotic infusion), I'm becoming agoraphobic and want to avoid crowded, disease and infection laden places - obviously, a hospital falls into that category - and with the flu vaccine being only 40% effective, I'm concerned.
