Both. DME also said they can make adjustments via the modem as well.

I am curious as to what data it does collect and how is it shown/made available to the patient. Is it hours of use only or something more comprehensive? Is it auto or fixed cpap only? It is an auto Data is available via the smartphone app Don't know about the rest until I use it. This is my first C...

google doesn't think this thing exists *lol* it's like they snuck something into existence without even a press release, that's just weird as hell. more pics please! DME said they will not be available until October but they got them early? I agree, it is strange that there is no info on either goo...

Picked up the new CPAP today (after asking a dozen questions). The device is a "Philips Respironics Dreamstation" with a manufacture date of June 2015. It doesn't look like there is any information about it online. It does have the ramping, humidifier, heated tube, sleepmapper software, and bluetoo...

Another update; it looks like the phillips REMstar CPAPs are the most common here. Is that something I should be comfortable with or should I investigate further and find something better?

I'd make it my main goal to get the best possible machine for my needs. There are some pretty sharp people here wh...

Search brings up 209 DMEs in the tricare network within 100 miles. Here are the "recommended" DMEs according to tricare:

Is Lincare one of your choices? I went with them because we travel a lot and they have locations all over the US. When I was choosing a DME, I called a few and asked basic questions. Trying to get an idea of how helpful each co. was. Apria told me it would be 2 weeks before someone "would call me b...

OK, after talking to my insurance the in-house DME was wrong about my cost. I will pay 20% of the tricare allowed cost for an in-network DME. They also gave me a list of all in-network DME that I am looking through...there are more than 200 to sort through. Is it better to go with a local DME (vs. a...

My doctor's office has an in-house DME provider and I stopped by to talk to him. He is recommending a phillips CPAP machine but I wanted to check...
