Is it possible to get IV Rocephin under Traditional Medicare with a supplement?

I knew of a man a few years ago on Medicare who got IV Rocephin for 30 days.

He had to travel to his LLMD daily for each dose.
For some reason I guess they don't allow home infusions? Maybe things changed. Hopefully for the better.

2 Corinthians 12:9-11


9 But he said to me, �My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.� Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ�s power may rest on me.

I'm glad you found out. I wish I could have been of some help but know nothing about it.

I wonder if anyone here has been on Medicare and received coverage for IV treatment. That would be the best testimony.
