RemZZZs Question

Post by porete » Sat Jan 28, 2012 5:59 pm

I just got a sample pack of RemZZZs and I love them!! They work better than the other mask liners I have tried. I had someone make me some. I was going to try pad-a-cheek's liners, but her website doesn't list a liner that would be compatible with my mask. I am going to ask my DME on Monday to order the RemZZZs for me. I understand they now have a HCPS code, has anyone had any experience with insurance covering the RemZZZs, and what percent of the cost did they pay?
Thanks,
porete

I would think they would be covered the same as other supplies. However, I have NOT had experience with this. My DME does not provide them, so I just pay for them out of pocket. Since I use them several nights in a row (instead of one per night), it's not a big expense.

My DME providers supplies them as an even trade for a mask cushion. So, when I'm eligible for a new cushion, I can get the Remzzzs. And, when I'm using the Remzzs, I don't need new cushions nearly as often.

My HMO (Kaiser Permanente) covers them at the 20% DME copay, so I pay less than $4.00 for a box of 25
