Does anyone know about the inCourage Airway Clearance Therapy Vest? It is supposed to clear mucus from the lungs. Is there anyone who knows anything about this product for people with COPD and bronchiectasis. Medicare covers it, if one has a prescription. Any help with this question, sure would be appreciated.
