I don't know about you bearded one but I know exactly what my insurance paid it is on the advice I get when they pay. It is a lot. The only paperwork that I got from the DME was when I first rented the equipment. I don't recall the amounts; it broke out the cost for the mask and for the headgear se...

Insurance companies loath to make exceptions and they have their set procedures. Insurance companies have contracts with DMEs and it is very likely that the insurance company is not paying anything close to what you believe that they are paying.

I carry a 3-way adapter and spare mask in a gallon ziplock bag too. I have been to hotels with one outlet and the lamp and clock radio were already using it.

I was given the choice of about three DMEs and I had to choose Apria ...

At least the humidifier water chambers are inexpensive. Out of curiosity, are you using distilled water in your humidifier? Minerals in tap water are frequently blamed for pitting aluminum.

Unfortunately I got a new CPAP machine from Apria a few months ago. Luckily I haven't had any problems with them, I just call them to get new filters and a hose each month. It's going to be interesting to see what happens when I tell them that I want a new Swift nasal pillows system in a few months.

Insurance will usually pay for two new filters and a new hose every month. I have no idea why because two filters should last for several months, and a hose should be good for many months or even years. Insurance will usually pay for a new mask (but not head gear) every three months. Insurance will ...

I recently retired a 12 year old Respironics CPAP machine that still works like new. The only reason I replaced it is that the new ones are so much quieter and easier to travel with.

ColoZZ; I am assuming that the 3' x 3' photo voltaic that you are speaking of is rated at 12 volts. You will need a regulator. http://www.sailgb.com/c/solar_panels/ http://www.etaengineering.com/regulators/pbr.shtml You will not be able to run a CPAP and a HH for 16 hours on a battery that weighs 25...

F&P makes the FlexiFit HC405 that has an exhaust diffuser which eliminates the exhaust air stream. The diffuser mounts in the exhaust port and looks like a small piece of F&P air filter material.

I bought a GoodKnight 420G from cpap.com a few months ago as a travel machine. The unit is still featured on the cpap.com web site. On a weekend trip I found that it made a whistling noise. I returned the machine and was sent a new one. I found that the new one doesn't whistle, but it sounds like a ...

The sleep doctor's receptionist or nurse should be able to get you a copy of your CPAP prescription. I am not familiar with a title for CPAP machines. I have three CPAP machines, one is rented, one is 12 years old, and one I recently purchased from cpap.com -- I don't have a title for any of them. _...
