BTW, there is a favored DME that is often recommended here that will sell a CPAP without a prescription. I just bought one myself.

Please, no bitching about CPAP sales without scripts. These people are our friends.

Yes, but it would not have been funny if I had included your entire sentence.

I bought a brand new CPAP off of amazon 6+ months ago.

I figured there would be a couple of dullards that would not recognize a jest.
The propensity for many here to lap up even the most ludicrous of fake news has forced me to lower the bar when I visit I suppose.

my guess is the insurance payment is less than the price here.

I don't know how they are doing it, but I for one like to see this equipment at lower prices. Mask prices seem to me to be coming down a little, but CPAP equipment is so expensive. When your insurance is paying for it you care a little less, but it really hurts your pocket paying yourself.
