Does Medicare cover Ventolin?
Answered by 4 licensed agents
In MOST cases, the plan will cover the generic Albuterol Sulfate before it will cover Ventolin by brand name unless your doctor submits and gets approval for a formulary exception.
Albuterol Sulfate comes in three varieties: similar to ProAir, similar to Ventolin, and similar to Proventil. It’s not uncommon for a provider to cover two of the three but not the third, so if you are looking to change plans it’s critical your agent checks your medications and the specific format of inhaler you use (they should always verify your meds, but this type is often problematic for coverage so it’s extra-important).
