Re: Medical ID Tags

I too wear a Medical Alert tag .. and have considered having the engraving redone now to include the CPAP right on it. I have had the bracelet longer so it was not on the tag.

Re: DID I PICK THE RIGHT MACHINE?

Should we start explaining? There is one medical insurance reimbursement code for CPAP machines .. as in, if they give you the cheapest machine or the most expensive .. they get paid 1 rate. You bet they just gave you the cheapest meaning they made the highest profit on you. Sorry .. I went back in ...
