If I were you I would speak with your social worker at your CF center, mine got me my vest free of charge. On another topic, remember how I said I accidentally broke my percusser 5000? Well, it seems the manufacturer reads the messages on this forum and emailed me to send it in and he'd fix it for free. Great person, great company. I'd recommend them to anyone. Even though I feel the vest is highly effective, it gets to be a pain in the ass, especially to move. But yea, my social worker pulled all the right strings and dodged all the bureaucratic red tape and got it to me free, I highly recommend you ask your social worker.
