Re: Not enjoying CPAP

... my sleep study results to a PCP and work with them to order a machine from another supplier. With me working out of town I just coughed up the cash to have them send me what they offered. As far as my AHI, I really have no way to tell between Apneas and Hypopneas. The Luna gives me a Central ...

Where should I purchase a BiPap ASV?

... ASV machine died a few days ago. Thankfully, I have a backup. But it's time to replace it. My insurance is terrible and I may end up just paying cash myself. I was surprised to find that cpap.com doesn't carry any ASV machines. Do any of you have any experience with other online sellers? Second ...

Re: Wait for a Resmed rental at new DME or buy a new Resmed outright at "cash" rate?

I am told by the new, prospective DME that there is such a long waitlist for Resmeds to rent that it could be three+ months for my turn to come up. Sounds like BS to me. Maybe they push ResVent because of a higher margin. Last month, I just got another new ResMed AutoSet 10 because my former 10 was...

Re: Wait for a Resmed rental at new DME or buy a new Resmed outright at "cash" rate?

I was in a similar situation a couple of years back when I had to move provinces and switch DMEs mid-rental. I ended up buying a used ResMed AirSense 10 from a trusted seller on Facebook Marketplace and it held me over really well until I got back into the Medicare flow with a new unit. It wasn't pe...

OK, I won't charge you for that one. But in the future, cash in advance, no returns, no refunds.

Re: CPAP Class Action Lawsuit Settlement

I did not get a cash payment. I think their original offer was $50 which I considered insulting.

I don't have insurance so I'll just be paying cash. What make/model cpap do you have now? You can save a bunch of cash n grief if you buy whatever model you have now. Hopefully its a Resmed AS 10 auto? The 11 has nothing you need to pay extra for. ...
