You do need to get the buyer to send you a copy of their RX. Acording to the FDC, private sales are subject to the same law as a business. I can't find the file right now or I would post it.

You are in for a rude surprise if you have BCBS of Oklahoma. They have no replacement "schedule" Everything is sent to the claims department for "medically necessary" or not. I have this in voicemail from their customer service department. Even the 2 DME's I checked with can't tell if a claim will b...

I live 65 miles south of OKC also, on highway 29, 15 miles east of Marlow. It sure is a small world.

If you have BCBS of Oklahoma, there is no schedule. It's all "medically necessary" Even the DMS's can't tell you if anything will be covered. I do have that in writing.

If you have BCBS of Oklahoma, good luck getting an answer for cpap stuff. I keep getting "medical necessity" My DME gave the same answer.

Are RDI and AHI the same?

I finally got a copy of my sleep report. Nowhere in it is AHI mentioned, just RDI of 14. I was able to figure out the rest of the entries.

Waking up to a loud WHAP and finding the right rearview mirror has been knocked off is not a good feeling.

It's the software algorithms that will determine if the machine works for you.
If the machine doesn't recognize a leak. snore, exhale etc. on you, it won't
be a good match. The hardware has little effect.
The only way to tell is to try the machine with the mask that works for you.

The voltage in cars now is held to +-.02 volts by the regulator. If it is outside this range low, your battery is dying or the alternator has a bad diode. If high, you will be blowing bulbs and maybe an injector. That home-built battery pack, if the proper voltage, won't hurt anything. Current ratin...
