Does the doctor that oversees the sleep study have to provide patient with a copy of prescription? My doc had me sign a release on my medical records and supposedly sent the prescription with them to a local supplier of health care products. Still waiting ----

You have the right to choose your supplier--unless you are in an HMO, where the choices are limited.
Be sure to read the necessary information in this forum BEFORE you meet the DME.

What is DME?

If you ask for a copy of the prescription the doctor should give you one.
DME is Durable Medical Equipment provider. The company you get your supplies from is usually a DME.

You have a right to a copy of the scrip. Depending upon your (U.S.) insurance, you have a say in the equipment you get. They all grossly overcharge and make a killing so there should never be an issue.
