Ignorance must be bliss. And, responding to a 4-year-old thread is definitely "ignorance".RN wrote:It is quite apparent that no one commenting on this blog is a medical professional. Medicaid/medicare regulations state:

But, at least ONE of the folks commenting in this thread WAS a registered pharmacist. I'll let you rely on your reading comprehension to figure out which one.
Personally, I've gotten everything I want (CPAP related) without having to jump through Medicare and other prescription/order hoops. I've bought all of my machines and a lifetime of supplies out-of-pocket, and quite some time before I got on Medicare.

I've always done the same.

Re: How should your prescription read???
My insurance requires a new Rx for hoses, masks and parts etc and all.Komodo wrote:I tried to re-order some supplies from my DME, and they informed me my prescription had expired. They told me I had to get a new script in order to get the supplies.
I called my doc to fax one over, and they told me it's been over a year since I've seen them, and I had to come in for a regular visit (and pay for the visit!) for a new script.
Is there anything special I should have the doc write on the script so I don't have to go back to him every year JUST for a new prescription?????
BTW....I was only ordering filters, and a new water chamber from my DME. I didn't think either one required a perscription.
For someone else the replacement hoses/pillows etc, were just charged to insurance as maintenance of the treatment.
Both cases in Canada.
I thought new Rx were needed by CPAP.com after five years. I know I had to submit a new one at some point.

Re: How should your prescription read???
I wonder why so many "professionals" consistently offer bad advice.
Is it ignorance? Arrogance? Or plain old malevolence?
