supplies replacement
Hello fellow CpApers.. my question is, how long do you use a nasal pillow or a disposable filter before replacing with a fresh new one? My insurance company was allowing 2 of each a month but now has cut down to one of each per month. I got use to changing them frequently. Their excuse with the cut back is that this is the national standard with replacement supplies. Thoughts please.

I change my filters every 6 months and my silicone cushion when I start having leaks...usually about 6-8 months.(Regardless of what my insurance will supply)

Re: supplies replacement
My filters look gray at three weeks, and my leak rate starts getting ugly about the same time.
Between Medicare and my expensive supplement, it's covered.

Re: supplies replacement
the frequency you should replace the filters is specified in the manual.ldyjane1 wrote:Hello fellow CpApers.. my question is, how long do you use a nasal pillow or a disposable filter before replacing with a fresh new one?
