Medicare coverage for Sleep Medicine

A friend of mine told me recently that Medicare does not cover sleep medicine. That sounded absurd to me, so I asked my insurance agent. She said it is covered under Part D. We are totally new to medicare and trying to figure things out as we go. Does anyone know about this, and Medicare's limitatio...

Re: converter for port to Resmed Air Mini

Well, success is mine. I found an adapter, called an "AirMini Tube Adapter" for doing just what I am wanting to do. You need to have a slim tube to put the adapter on, but the person who sells the tube adapter also will sell you a tube if you need it.

I'm delighted.

Re: How often do you actually replace your CPAP mask/headgear?

In my 20 or so years using a cPAP I have never followed the schedule the equipment providers suggest. My last order was probably placed a year and a half ago. I have now bought an air mini and will need to start all over again with the filters and other things that are unique to this machine. I will...

Re: Pimples Caused by Lower Seal of Mark

Before I started using an air touch system, I got dermatitis all the time anywhere that my skin rubbed against the mask. Eventually, I found people out there that made cloth covers for the masks to protect your skin. Then I discovered the air touch masks. These masks use a foam that does not cause m...

converter for port to Resmed Air Mini

Hello- I would like to try using tubing that will bypass the Humid X system on my air mini. All I need is a converter for the end, as the end that goes in a machine is standard diameter. Anyone seen anything like that? Anyone know if Resmed actually sells anything that allows you to bypass the Humid...

Air Mini: can I bypass the humid x system entirely?

Hello. I have used various cpap machines over the last 20 or so years. I decided early on that I did not want the hassle and risk of using the humidification tanks with my cpaps, and basically never used them. I have used room humidifiers instead at times. Anyway, I just got an Airmini and the noise...
