Re: DME, you're fired!
Well, this is interesting. I decided to go with the provider I had to drive to, mainly because the lady I was talking with knew her stuff. I was getting ready to call up and confirm the official move to the other provider. Then, a bill showed up from the company I was going to change to. I open it a...

Re: DME, you're fired!
I didn't discover this discrepancy until months later when I got the first bill - and I mean months. Oh goody... Honestly, I'm thinking of just telling them to pound sand. Do I really want more problems? Not really, I just want my life back and I view these clowns as playing with it. It's probably ...

Re: DME, you're fired!
Well, I never saw an RT until she showed up with the setup. I'm not sure when the rental was officially started, wouldn't surprise me if it was the day the prescription arrived. I remember being told the machine wasn't in stock yet and all they had were used machines, blah, blah, blah.

Received the setup on February 16th. BTW, the prescription was faxed to the DME on February 2nd.unadog wrote:How long ago? You usually have more options for the first 30 days.

Re: DME, you're fired!
Nope, just a yellow sheet with a heading of "Rental / Sale Contract" my name and address, doctors name, diagnosis, orders, insurance info, equipment info, my signature and the PT signature. No print on the back.jules wrote:no fine print unreadable stuff on the back ?

Re: DME, you're fired!
I'm looking at the paperwork again. I see nothing regarding equipment return, only warranty good for 1 year. Any references about contacting the office regarding equipment issues have been scratched out and changed to contacting the RT directly. There is a grievance procedure outlined. I'm guessing ...

DME, you're fired!
So, I've decided to change to another DME provider. Granted, the lady was nice and seemed quite knowledgeable. However, waiting two weeks for the machine to show up sucked. I blew it off at the time because frankly, I was too tired to care. Then I wanted to get a different mask. Called twice last We...

Re: The Breadbox Project
My solution was easier. I gave back my PR1 and got an S8 Autoset II. Instant quiet. I understand the S9 is even quieter, except for the whistle. I agree with robmax...... GET A QUIETER MACHINE ...there are several out there I must be missing something, because my machine appears to be one of the "q...

Re: The Breadbox Project
I cut a long open slot on the back panel for ventilation. Plus there are gaps along the door and the hole for the hose.SliSeattle wrote:These machines suck air. Where is the vent hole?

Re: The Breadbox Project
It appears I need to use a stronger glue. I was just playing around with it and when I opened the door, it caught the back foam panel and peeled it off.
I'll try gluing it back on tomorrow, fabric side out and see how that works. Can't go much thicker with the foam, just not enough room in the box.
