Dana3, That would be a question for your insurance provider. Like mine I could seek a second opinion and contact another specialist. But If I don't have one to begin with I would need a referral to get a visit. But hey you could pay the bill out of your pocket if you want.

@A MyCOPDTeam Member You could maybe try it and see what they have to say at the clinic? It isn't going to hurt anything to try it, so I'd say, go for it. I don't know either what the answer is, but it's worth a shot. Have a great day! Chris

My pulmo set mine up several years ago. Insurance probably won't pay w/o a doctor's referral. Maybe your GP will prescribe it for you. Won't hurt to try.

I am pretty sure you have to be referred by your Pulminologist. Especially if you want Medicare to pay. They only pay for the 1st phase too. Good luck. It helps a lot!
