I would be shocked too if there was a problem.
Get the AirSense 10 AutoSet for Her...the difference in copay out of your pocket after the union reimbursement is small and I really think that in the long run you would be happier with the AutoSet for Her.
I can't imagine anything with that machine that you wouldn't like and while you may or may not need or want that extra algorithm...always better to have something and not need it than need it and not have it.
I may have to RISE but I refuse to SHINE.
If you want to try the Eclipse mask and want a special promo code to get a little off the price...send me a private message.

That is the state of Texas (and many other states) term for DME provider.

Doesn't cpap.com have a brick and mortar store down in Stafford? If I remember correctly they also have a walk in store where people can go just like any other brick and mortar store. Don't know about insurance filing in lieu of up front payment though.

Confirmed! I'll get reimbursed 80%! I know it's a lot of hoops to jump through but considering I started the day thinking it was going to be 100% out of pocket, I'm super happy! Feels like the first good news I've gotten in the last few days.
I've been leaning towards the airsense autoset for her - pretty positive that's what i'm going to order as soon as I get my prescription next week when I bring the trial one back. Now onto masks comparisons...

It' still listed on their website -

From what I have heard in the past, they won't bill your insurance, but will give you forms to apply for reimbursement.
