The separate itemized billing is pretty much standard operating procedure. Even the separation of the humidifier from the blower even though your machine has humidifier built in. Masks are always billed out in parts in 99% of the situations...usually headgear one part and frame/cushion/pillows the ...

I just picked up my machine today. I received the A10 Autoset that I requested based on the feedback from you guys.... I originally requested the P10 mask but I didn't like how their were no adjustments I could make to the strap to make the fit snug.... I ended up getting the SwiftFX... The few minu...

It shouldn't cost you anything extra...that means an up charge which is illegal in most states if they try to charge you more. It's really is super easy to change the setting yourself down the road if you want to. I might wait until any compliance issue stuff is settled though...just not to rock th...

Ok, so i just got off the phone with my DME... I asked for the autoset since it's was the same code... He placed me on hold and came back and said well, we will need a new RX since SC Resp Laws require it.. I respond, with could we just get an Autoset and set it to CPAP only mode? He well, yes but ...

Welp, I went to pick up my machine and they had ordered the basic Airsense 10 CPAP.. I told, them that's not what I asked for..... The resp tech acted as if he didn't know there was a difference. He wasn't the one who ordered the machine, so he called the guy who places orders and told him that it w...

The AirSense 10 Elite is a full data machine and shows all the data that the AutoSet would show in terms of data. It just won't auto adjust the pressures since it only has cpap mode. It's the AirSense 10 CPAP that is the half assed brick that you for sure don't want...the "CPAP" part of the model n...

I had a lab study for both.. That's why it took sooooo long for everything to happen... The sleep lap is running 6-8 weeks wait on studies.

Edit...I see that you have already had the cpap vs apap discussion with your insurance company (I am assuming you talked with the ins co and this information isn't coming from the DME because DMEs sometimes don't tell the whole truth)... while apap is nice to have it isn't the end of the world if y...

Yes - get an Apap - it will allow you to use 'only' Cpap mode if that suits you, but also lets you use auto mode, which many more people like because it can tell you more about how well you're sleeping if you download the free software from the forum when you get your machine. And as far as insce. ...

You don't want the Elite - it's the low-end model. The insurance pays the same price to the DME, no matter which model of cpap machine he gives you. You should get either the autoset or, even better, the autoset for her. My insurance said they will only pay for a APAP if it is proven that the CPAP ...

First, I want to all of you for your post...It has really shined some like on what OSA is and how it can slowly kill you. I think (hope) it has prepared me for this Journey. So here it goes After the 5 month wait between the time my Dr ordered my initial study, ordering a Tri Sleep Study and complet...
