Approved to replace all my cpap equipment by insurance!

Post by rock and roll » Tue Aug 26, 2008 2:29 am

Now that I can replace all my equipment after five years, I am hoping to upgrade from straight cpap to a biPap auto so that I can be treating myself the best possible. I like the Swiftand the Aura the best right now for masks. I do want my new machine humidified. So with full replacement and non out of my pocket expense but not wanting them to change their minds, what would the consensus be for me to order? I would love to pool all the experience here. Thanks,

Earl/Rock and Roll

If your DME is anything like mine,, make sure your doc specifies you NEED a BiPAP AUTO.

RNR,
Definately go for a Auto Bi-pap... if you can get the old, by all means go for it. It doesn't drop days or anything like that. Otherwise get the M series.
