You are lucky... my insurance will only cover a new mask every 24 months... I am new to this and have 22.5 months to go before I qualify for a new mask.DoriC wrote:UB, I'm pretty sure that with Medicare it's opposite with new mask every 3months and Headgear every 6months, and our DME doesn't bill for the headgear when you're replacing the mask at 3months. They may be able to get around that somehow but I've only seen headgear billed separately with a 6month mask replacement.Uncle_Bob wrote:I'm having problems with the head gear, its impossible to get a comfortable fit with zero leaks.
The medium mask ships with standard sized headgear which is too small. I have had several resmed masks and never had a problem with range of adjustments i can get out of a medium sized masks headgear. I might purchase the larger headgear.
My insurance allows headgear every 3 months and new mask every 6 months. Does anyone know if the purchase of a new mask counts as a purchase of a new headgear as well or are they truely seperate in the replacement schedule?

When I save up enough money, I will call my DME to see about trying this mask.
