I decided to keep the settings as is for now and see how it goes- last night I had 1 clear airway event and 1 hypopnea, which averaged to .3 AHI for the night. My average pressure was 9.54 I noticed that EPR says 1 but on ramp only. I am tempted to use the EPR for the whole therapy instead of just r...

Today I finally received my new autoset 11 - it has been a long wait, originally waiting for an AirCurve ASV since last February (and that got dropped somehow due to change of staffing), AND my prescription changed to the regular CPAP in September, so a new order was placed by my doctor. For the pas...

For one of my System Ones, the status said that it was waiting for a prescription to be faxed from my Doctor, and then after my prescription was faxed by my doctor, they changed the status to say I had to make the choice between $50 or wait for a machine. So, I made the choice of waiting instead of ...

When I was researching the medicare plans available to me from the former employer group I retired from- I looked at the advantage plans first and the ones offered to me, said you do not own the durable medical equipment after 13 months. Then I proceeded to look into the supplemental plan that was o...

Today I called Philips and spoke to someone who went into my "account" and updated all of mine to say I wanted a replacement instead of the 50 dollars. She seemed to indicate I will get a replacement, just not a System One . . . I had already asked my Doctor to send the prescription which they did l...

I just re-read the status- technically they are still giving me an option to decide what option I choose- so out of curiosity, I am going to choose the option of continuing remediation- Below is what it says on the status page from Philips about the Options you have to choose from: What are my optio...

My insurance (Humana medicare advantage) is 80/20 coverage either in or out of network. Policies vary by state and sometimes within a state. You should check with your insurance company. You can get incorrect information here. People will tell you what works in their case which might not apply to y...

Earlier this week one of my three system ones said it was just requiring a prescription from my doctor, which i was able to get faxed to Philips. In the status it said the replacement would be shipped within 30 days of submitting the prescription (and it being processed). Today, all three of my syst...

I have a script for a new CPAP machine. It has been over 5 years since I last bought a machine. At the moment I prefer a Resmed Autosense 11. I'm a long time CPAP user - over 20 years. Currently using an 11 yr old Resmed 9 since I shelved my Dreamstation due to the recall. I am aware I will eventua...

Interesting - tonight I checked on the status of replacement - i submitted 3 serial numbers for system 1 paps - two are not matched to a DME, and one says that my DME will contact me when the replacement arrives- the DME I used to have is no longer my DME (Apria) - left them when I left Kaiser and m...

Doing the happy dance. After 8 months, the doctor finally ordered me an ASV. Actually, the doctor wanted to order an Auto BiPap, but I pushed back because I have centrals. The doctor tried to convince me, to no avail, that this is the right machine for me. Finally, she said she was going to have so...

I used to have Kaiser and pretty much they were able to get me a new device though Apria by writing a prescription in the way it would be covered through my Kaiser coverage. After 8 months of using the auto cpap I was prepared to pay out of pocket for a bipap but the Kaiser sleep medicine doctor fro...

Tonight I decided to look in my spam/junk email folder. the mail application puts certain messages directly to the junk folder without me ever seeing the emails unless I check the folder. I saw that I received an email from Philips on Aug 21 for the devices I registered - This is what the email said...

’ve tried several different nasal masks and have sensitive skin and would get red marks daily and also rashes from time to time. A couple of months ago I switched to the Bleep. I love this mask with no headgear. I feel I sleep better and my face skin is so much improved. No more red marks and no mor...
