Hi I have been on APAP now for about 6 weeks. I have an M Series Auto Pap with A-flex. In my sleep study they only got me down to an AHI of 14 at a pressure of 12. I insisted on getting an APAP and after major fights with a couple DME's they finally did fill the prescription as my doc wrote it and t...

I had the same problem. Sleep tech accidently woke me up after 110 mins. instead of 120 mins. to hook me up to cpap. I found out when no DME would fill my prescription because they said my sleep study was to short for the insurance company to approve payment. I called Blue Cross ( my insurance co) a...

Can ANYONE please recommend a good DME in Northern California? - After much wrangling i thought i finally found one - but i was wrong. They gave me a loaner machine (on a rental contract) supposedly until my machine - the new auto with a-flex - came in the next week. Well its been 2 weeks and i call...

Can anyone tell me if it is true the Pur Sleep was pulled off the market? If so, was it because of a safety reason? I had planned on buying one, but now i am leary. I would appreciate what ever information you can provide me on it, or alternative ways you may have found to safely use aroma therapy w...

I received the following from Direct medical when requesting a quote on the new A-flex machine. Although i went with a local DME and expect the machine in another week and a half, i thought this pricing info might be of interest to anyone considering the machine. I will post my impressions of the A-...

Hi Rachel I am having the EXACT same problem. (A three page letter explaining why an APAP meets my needs and a CPAP does not convinced my doctor to write the letter of medical necessity for an APAP instead of a CPAP and the DME is insisting i pay the difference in the cost of machines.) Please share...

Just have to put my two cents worth in on this topic. It is the truth

YOU GUYS ARE GREAT!!!!!!

Thanks for sharing all of your knowledge and for making me laugh as I struggle thru trying to educate myslef about this illness

Hi Den Thanks for the advice - i will check with Blue Cross and see if they are willing to do this. On another note - I noticed the "hickville" comments regarding your location and the inference to the intelligence levels because of it posted earlier - I live in a "hickville" also - no elevators or ...

Im new here and havent even got my own machine yet, but from what i have gathered the RemStar Auto M series with A-flex not C-flex is the so called 'cadillac'. Please correct me if i am wrong.

I am new to this. I was diagnoised last month AHI= 59.5 RAI = 60.6 I thank you all for the information you provide here as it gave me the information i needed to request my doctor prescribe an APAP instead of a CPAP. The recommended DME SleepMed (who not so coincidentally is also the provider of the...
