Just wondering what would happen if they tried to "doctor up" (pun intended) the original prescription by adding some verbiage to it like "void" or adding an expiration date that wasn't there originally. Check it over thoroughly. Question any discrepancies.archangle wrote:but they can now claim that the original prescription has expired.

In my case mine was written on a prescription blank. Seems to meet the definition of a prescription. And if it's suddenly an "order" isn't that technically a violation of the law requiring a prescription for this equipment? If a DME executed an order without a prescription wouldn't that be a potential legal problem for that DME? Just saying.
In any case, see if you can get the mask parts you want without a prescription and do that for the immediate term. Then you can sort out all this prescription stuff at your leisure. I don't waste time on medical office BS. I've encountered enough incompetence in medical offices to know their BS is not worth spending my time if I can avoid it.
