Yes I absolutely agree with you.Bearded_One wrote:It is a very good idea to have an extra hose, mask, and a few filters. They are not very expensive when purchased online. A ComfortGel nasal mask with headgear, hose, and filters should cost just over $100 when bought online.
ComfortGel $82
6-Foot hose $10
Filters ~$10
Shipping $0

Total $102
I'm either going to buy the extras online or through the DME when I think insurance will allow me to put the cost through... the insurance folks have told me the following with respect to supplies: "Your plan does not apply a set frequency limitation to the purchase of eligible replacement accessories for a CPAP machine."
Now to find out what their definition of "eligible" is. While I'm at it I will find out if they would like to save some money and reimburse me for supplies purchased from cpap.com.
