I thought the best part about home therapy was that you were not around others with CF or staph infections etc. It was my understanding the dr would do whatever he could so Jaden would not have to go inpatient. You would think that would be a good enough reason for Medicare to pick it up - sort of like mandatory quarantine??

I have a double mediport in my right shoulder for 9yrs now and thank god it has kept me out of the hospital, but it's true Medicare will not pay unless the medications are given though a pump? I am lucky to have my husbands secondary insr. but I too am totally pissed off that they wld rather pay to put us in a hospital then have us do a cheaper version at home where we are much safer from other infections. I just don't get it? With all the MILLIONS the CF foundation raises, you think one of their issues would be helping us with insurance companies. What a shame that we have to stress about this, what a dam shame.

What do you mean about meds being given through a pump?

When I called medicare to see why they wld not cover the IV's at home they said it was to come though a electric pump? I never heard of this as since I've done IV's at home the company send out the meds in what I call baseball's filled with the med and it deflates as it goes thought the short tubing and thru the port. I am sorry if this doesn't explain it better, I am still confused myself? Did they mean when we were in the hospital it is in a bag and then funneled thru the stand?

I have used the balls (love them!), drip method and some kind of pump that you put a syringe full of meds in and it slowly pushes it in (I've also just pushed a syringe in myself over a few minutes). But it has been 6 years since I needed IVs.
Dea, do you have medicare? If so, do they pay for the meds that you use in that pump you borrow?
