I know the saying about dumb questions but I feel so IGNORANT...
After using CPAP for so many years, I don’t know how to find another local DME. I’ve almost always bought from CPAP.com. The few times I’ve used a brick and mortar, it’s been the same one.
For the life of me, nothing I type into google brings up local DMEs that sell CPAP supplies. Can you please help?

Re: Dumb question: finding a DME
Do you have insurance? If so call or check their website for a list of DME'S. Where do you live? If you don't have insurance you won't find any place better than Cpap.com.

Re: Dumb question: finding a DME
my google fu is weak as well. it's a toss up for me whether it will work when i type in my search!
however, i just tried this. type in "cpap supplies" without the quotes. the google machine SHOULD auto fill with a choice like "near me". or you can just put in your city or the nearest city.
good luck!

Re: Dumb question: finding a DME
If you have insurance, ask them for a listing of their suppliers.
Otherwise, use my Medicare link below to find providers approved by Medicare.
It will search a radius around your zip code.
You can expand the radius if need be.
There may be others, but Medicare is not all that picky; so . . .

Re: Dumb question: finding a DME
I buy from our host cpap.com and from Amazon. I should buy replacement hoses, the ones I am using are my original 2 hoses from 2007. I like ResMed 6'6" hoses if they still make them; I will call my sleep docs office and see if they will sell me 2.

Re: Dumb question: finding a DME
Most sleep doctors offices should also have a list of DME's in your area.
