Re: CPAP for one year - CONFUSED

Those billing codes are correct. If you look at the link I posted earlier you see that these are the individual parts of the whole mask. And this way of billing is standard practice. I did look and thank you so much. Thank everyone for their help. I can get this off my mind since I understand;. I a...

Re: I am done with C-Pap

Let me encourage you to contact your insurance company before you return your equipment. Your insurance company not your DME is in charge of compliance. If you have insurance coverage you need to get on the phone with them. You can appeal any denial. That is your right under any insurance plan. Plus...

Re: CPAP for one year - CONFUSED

On my EOB: Code A7034 nasal mask Code A7032 mask cushion Code A7035 headgear these are the 3 codes my DME says are necessary to file the claim the way the insurance companies want it done. All three of these are considered the mask. Is this right? They are billing for a nasal mask and a mask cushion...

Re: CPAP for one year - CONFUSED

So the soft piece that fits over my nose is the cushion? I thought that was the mask. I am concerned that my DME is billing my insurance and me for something I do not use. Can I list the way the DME bills it on the EOB? Is it ok to do that?

Re: Especially for newly diagnosed - Dealing with Change

I wanted to share one thought. I have been a type one diabetic since age 13. I am now 57. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea in May 2014. To me, with my lifelong health issues, this is just another issue. I can choose to either manage it or ignore it at my own peril. I think living with a chronic dise...

CPAP for one year - CONFUSED

I would like an explanation - please I am begging. I use a Wisp Nasal mask. ResMed. I use the normal head strap, the mask and nothing else. What is the difference between the nasal mask and a "cushion" for the mask? My mask is one piece. I do not attach anything to the mask itself. Can someone expla...
