Thanks for the kind words, Wulfman. I'm encouraged, so far, and I am feeling more rested already. Yesterday, I ordered the MyEncore s/w; I look forward to using it to monitor and dial-in my therapy. What is that famous saying? Something like "The longest journey starts with a single step"...I can de...

I wake-up once to hit the head as I had done before CPAP, but I've only been on the CPAP for four nights. I do seem to wake-up a couple of other times in the night because of a leak or I've opened my mouth. Wulfman sez: Many times I'll wake up after several hours.....feeling rested and refreshed.......

Plugged-in 24/7 and the lights are on.

The only difference between a RemStar Auto with C-Flex and a Pro2 with C-Flex is the operating software.

That is, Respironics builds the exact same machine for both models (in terms of hardware) and loads different software.

Do I have that right?

Thanks,

Supposedly, the DME will be delivering my choice of APAP tomorrow afternoon.

It was prescribed by my sleep doctor, and BCBS is covering it in full.

Congratulations!

I hope to be posting the same good news as you come Sunday.

DME calls... DME: "Respironics doesn't make an Auto with C-Flex." Me: "Yes they do." DME: "No they don't". Me: "Yes they do." DME: "No they don't. Even if they did, we wouldn't have it in stock and we would have to order it. Then you are talking five more days." Me: <sigh> "What's your email addy? I...

I ask the DME to call my insurance and verify that BCBS won't cover an APAP.

She leaves me a message later that BCBS will cover it in full.

OK! Now waiting for the RT to call and tell me when she will be coming to deliver and set-up.

So far...so good.

So I tell the DME that I want an APAP. They tell me that my BCBS insurance covers a CPAP 100%, but they won't pay for the APAP because it's not "medically necessary". Does this sound right? I thought that the reimbursement code was the same for both CPAP and APAP machines? The DME says that I can ha...

First, now that I have my log-in problem solved, the OP is me. I also contacted billmyinsurance.com; they contacted BCBS, and have now just emailed me to tell me that I'm fully covered. Excellent <rubs hands gleefully>. Now, why is it when I call BCBS, they tell me there is no in-network DME? Maybe ...

I had to dump both the cookies and temp. internet files.

Thanks for the help...
