Since I am buying this on my own.. This is what I have decided on. DeVillbiss IntelliPap CPAP w/heated humidifier, and the Quatro Full Face mask. Total $520. Dr gave the script on Friday, I plan on ordering it on Monday. I know this is not a fully data capable machine. It seems like a nice small one...

Yikes! Great that the HMO pays the sleep study... but if you can't afford the treatment then it seems to be a waste of money. I do not think the HMO will reimburse me, if I buy off the net...
