It was my understanding that users whose insurance is paying for their machines pay a sum less than the complete amount of the unit based on a percentage of the machine cost stipulated by their insurance. (Some even pay nothing!) Now I'm being told that a Bipap ASV unit is no longer purchased at all...

Henry VI, Part 2, Act IV, Scene 2

I'm posting this just for general information regarding the recall--and because a search on this forum discloses no posts regarding this ad. (my apologies for re-posting if I am wrong) I received a phone call from a friend regarding an ad concerning the Philips Respironics recall and targeting users...

Does anyone know what the terms of Apria's 'contract' with a Kaiser Patient are? When I ask I'm directed to a place where searching for terms Philips, CPAP, etc. provides no hits. More specifically, when I purchase a piece of equipment with the aid of insurance using a % coinsurance value (this is a...

So original packaging and zero machine hours are the definitive indication of a new machine?

I'm starting to get calls from companies who previously (e.g., 2 days ago) claimed to not have new machines, say they now have "one" (ResMed AirCurve 10 ASV) available. One company, who listed on its website that it sometimes repackaged a unit to "save on shipping charges" (free to customer) I'd rej...

All

Managed to get, and then find on the Internet a link to a full ResMed Home therapy devices comparison and Therapy comparison chart.

Hope it's useful.

OK...besides scores of companies that claim they have no ResMed AirCurve 10 BiPAP ASV units, I've found one selling a few units (claimed new) for $2900. How does that compare to the pre-recall charge? I'm desperate so I think I'm going for it. Since there's no way to check out the company, I have to...

#1) Seems that while waiting for ResMed to manufacture ASV machines I’ll have to try out the Philips Respironics Heated Slim Tubing for DreamStation & System One "60 Series" REMstar CPAP & BiPAP Machines … https://www.theperfectcpap.com/collections/hoses It's got this odd little c lippy at the end.....

I'm currently searching for prices on new ResMed AirCurve 10 ASV units. I thought all tubing for all ResMed and PR devices was the same--kinky, translucent, rubber tubing. Now, I understand ResMed has a heated hose. Is this type of hose the same as all the hoses that come with masks or is there some...

It seems I’ll not get any support from Kaiser/Apria regarding my current (7 yr old) Philips Respironics System One (60 Series) BiPAP autoSV AdvancedModel 960P. (At the time I spent, with coverage, ~$1800 for the unit.) I’ve registered the machine with Philips and expect at some point to receive noti...

How much does the ResMed AC10 ASV (BiPAP ASV unit) cost? How is it *superior* in pretty much every way to the P Respironics System 1 BiPAP ASV? (is there an online comparison?) Are the algorithms different as was alluded to in a previous post? Seems that I'm being forced to go cold turkey on any req...

Thanks. Obviously, neither the primary physician nor the cardiologist know exactly what the machine should be. And truth be told, neither do I. What I do know is that it must be a reSmed (cute!) since that is the machine Apria is currently dealing for Kaiser. Oh, and I think, rereading what you've w...

Yes I registered the unit. Thank you for asking.

The Philips Respironics recall is, presumably, the exception and not the rule. However, it is being treated, by institutions like Apria, as just another, normal-course-of--business, event. I use a BiPAP ASV machine because I have BOTH Obstructive and Central sleep apnea—in other words—I have Complex...
