Liberty Medical online advertises that they accept Medicare and most private insurance. Whether they will file at the level you are wanting (initial pre cert) I don't know.. Oh, I'd bet they do...they look a whole lot like a B/M DME, and you're right, prices are not available on the site, nor is a ...

Geez, pardon me. My sincere apologies if I came off sounding unappreciative of your reply, I just wanted to clarify what information I was looking for. In re-reading my original post I was somewhat vague, and so wanted to be more specific about what I was interested in knowing. Blame my having to t...

If your insurer really will reimburse you for an online purchase Yes, I know. I'm asking if anyone has any tips for getting an insurance company to pay when they throw as many roadblocks in the way as possible. It is the "if" that is the issue. online vendors like our host will help you. Online ven...

Anyone have any tips on dealing with insurance companies when purchasing machines (requiring pre-auth) from the much less-expensive Internet/mail order vendors? Or should I just give up and swallow the chunk of deductible (yeah, it's out-of-pocket one way or the other, so why pay almost twice as muc...

Greatly appreciate the offer...will do. Thanks!

Need a new machine, provider wrote so narrowly there's only one Respronics machine that works (auto, of course, even though I'm just fine with a plain ol' ancient C-Flex machine). The only software I have is EncorePro 2.4, and haven't installed that yet (ancient current machine doesn't have an SD ca...

Is there any chance that suction from the tight fit might remove dental work (crowns and such)? Nothing is impossible, I suppose, but I can't imagine they would be held on that lightly. Perhaps you should ask him if a bite plate/mouthguard he made for you (at hundreds of dollars more) would be an i...

Just curious, do you ever worry about the mouthpiece (of any kind) coming loose in your sleep and possibly choking on it? Boil-and-bites, yes...but this one is perfectly molded to the teeth, and hangs on as tightly as anything a dentist could make. When I had recent dental work done which changed s...

Is this what you're looking for? Yes! I think the older (clear) Shield 260 is the one I had. It is awesome for those of us who grind down every night...that one never moved a bit (pun intended) in the years I used it, unlike the new boil-and-bite. Much thanks! Will be ordering a few spare for the n...

try sports stores Yep, did, both chain and local. Also checked department, drug, and everywhere else I could think of. All I found were boil-and-bite. Funny how basically the same thing can run between a buck and $20, but they all require boiling the mouthpiece then shoving it in hot and biting dow...

where do you find videos about the masks your using? With the Hybrid, there's a CD enclosed with three small WMV videos on it (or at least there was a CD back in 2008 when I bought mine). Might be on the manufacturer's website, too, but truth is the Hybrid is a whole lot easier to set up than the v...

Years ago, I think at a local drugstore, I bought an inexpensive upper-jaw mouthguard (packaging implied sports, not medical) which was not boil-and-bite; instead it had a small container of white powder and a small plastic stir. Add cold water, stir the powder. Spoon into guard then put the thing i...

You mention that you gauge your sleep quality by the number of trips to the potty. <snip> This tells me it is not working properly since a great decrease in trips is the most dramatic evidence of success. You are making assumptions about what I meant. I typed: Understand, I seem to be sleeping well...

Been doing this whole CPAP thing for better than a year now. Over the past month or three, I've been convinced there's something wrong with my RemStar w/CFlex - it just doesn't "feel" right. It used to take my breath away for a second every night when I turned it on, and now it doesn't. It doesn't s...

I got my foam cheek pads for Comfort Curve yesterday and tried them last night. Oddly, I seem to be allergic to the foam pads; gave me a contact rash. The silicon pads hold the mask too far from my face, though, so I can't use those, either. I tried the panty liners but found that moleskin works be...
