there should be warning for DME people joining this forum LOL *WARNING* YOU RISK BEING GRILLED ALIVE AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT FOR ANY REASON. Some example's: Bad grammar Defending the action's of anyone other then the patient typing the above sentence and expecting people to have a sense of humor using t...

Awesome! I am starting to think that due to my patient base being all old people that this is why I've never run into pt's that are eager to learn. We have a much younger generation on this site, all of which are comfortable with using a computer. LOL my grandparents hate their computer, they only ...

I am not trying to sell anyone on this site anything, I am here to discuss PAP's and by discussing them with other people I learn. the insane thing is that having this group of people that are knowledge hungry is amazing to me, you guys are 180* from my pt's I get calls with people yelling at me to ...

I mean no disrespect by any means, but I have to disagree. generalizing is the only way to keep your head above water in my career. I do 50 mask fitting's on existing pt's a month, and 40 new setup's a month and in that month If I leave 20 hybrids with pt's that think they will like it and I get 16 ...

you've only had your machine for 6 months? cause that means the rental period is still in effect which means they just change who there billing. the only way to get 2 machine's is if the one you have now is no longer being paid for each month, Most Private ins cap it at 13 month. so if you've had th...

ya it does replace the card reader. I don't think it's worth getting if your already setup on a card. If you don't have anything though and wanting to start tracking your data. it's a good option. On monday I am going to talk to my guy from respironics see if patients can get there own log in or som...

Yes actually that is a common problem, the thing that fixes it for me is replacing the valve and cover that's in the elbow. They have to be in perfect shape and working perfect for their to be no leak. If that valve for some reason or another isn't opening all the way(which can be something as simpl...

LOL 80% of my pt's are 65-100+ I hope I didn't make anyone mad I wasn't talking down on them there are people here I am sure that are in that age group that wanted to learn about there data. Those people I am willing to bet are comfortable with using computers though. So a card download isn't compli...

http://encoreanywhere.respironics.com/ This should tell you everything you want to know. Yes I understand they focus on compliance, yes I understand they keep the patient out of their data flow and who needs it. I am not here to argue with anyone. Bottom Line is these can be pretty convenient and si...

Surprised you would call the Hybrid junk... I have 14 masks in my drawer and the hybrid is by far the best one for me. My pressure is 18 /20 and I now have a little beard. The 431 wasn't the worst I've tried, either. Everyone has that 30 day program that I know of. I am sorry let me start over agai...

reading this post proves to me that i'm on the right track... i just started my CPAP therapy 3 days ago. thus inspired, i learned this afternoon how to set my own pressure. even though i haven't actually changed the settings yet, i'm learning how to read the data that i unlcoked on the machine (bas...

So I had the guy from F&P show up yesterday pitching their new mask's and I've never been a huge fan of F&P except maybe the 431FF. Mainly I can't stand there machine's (junk) He brought in the Forma FF and the Zest Nasal I was wondering if anyone has tried either of them out yet? If so what did you...

orbit has offices in UT, ID, 2 in IL, then one in both MI and IN. Now the sister company tibro only has one office and it's main focus is setting supplies for pt's that have machine's through other companys but dont get the service they need. and we do those drop ship meaning anywhere in the country!

our goal is to be the size of lincare. praxair for example within a couple years. last year we grew 60% and spread local offices to a few mid east states. we're on our way
