Your insurance company is your best resource. Mine lists DME's by distance from me, and their name usually gives it away. Call up to see if they carry CPAP and what they have and head out. They will only give you ones that they parner with.

Yellow pages works too, but your insurance company might not play with each of them.

If you are handicapped, have trouble getting a ride, etc. some of them will come to you.

Depending on my situation, I am on HEAVY PAIN meds and cannot drive. Buying locally has advantages and disadvatages. Insurance processing, ease of pick up, traffic to fight, etc.

Good luck with it, as was mentioned, most insurances have a list of "approved" DMEs --- I don't remember how I got with Apria.
