Thanks Dog Slobber.... I appreciate the Info !

(I just found his youtube videos and have subscribed.)

I only have Original Medicare and an Employer Sponsored supplemental plan which has a steadfast rule that they only cover items that Original Medicare covers. They only review and allow claims that have been processed by my Original Medicare Plan. To my knowledge, Original Medicare, Part B, does not...

Re: Sleep Doc Office Can't read SD card ???? The SD card records 7 days of data and all she had to look at primarily was the AHI's and misc data which she could have done with a brief glance. And if you had printed that page out, even briefer. Your statements don't seem like anyone who uses CPAP or...

I had used the Mirage Activa or Activa LT for many many years. They were recommended to me on these boards a long time ago, and were great for me as a side sleeper. The new mask I have has a much smaller piece to go around the nose, and when side sleeping, the pillow seems to push it out of place a...

What type of tape does one recommend?

...the Medical Assistant said they could not read my SD card with the Data on it. They didn't have the capability. It's been my observation that physician offices in general have little ability beyond checking compliance (especially if the request for read only went as far as the Medical Assistant,...

Are you even a CPAP user, or a troll on the forum board?

Your statements don't seem like anyone who uses CPAP or knows anything about how Sleep therapy and Labs operate.

Sure, let's go with that.

Such an intelligent retort. It just reinforces my opinion of you.

It didn't work out very well at all because they were inept and didn't do their jobs.

So you're right and now sitting there pissed off with nothing to show for it.

Good work.

Your mommy must be proud of you.

Mom is very proud of me.

I'm glad you acknowledged that I did good work.

And what exactly were your expectations anyway? On a 0ne-hour Initial Visit she has her list of things that need to be covered and if you surprise her with 55,480 hours of data that need to be uploaded to a machine that who's knows where then it's not surprising that a potential response would be "...

It was mentioned that Medicare won't pay for a Wheelchair without a Script, and the same would, no doubt, apply to CPAP machines and supplies. As far as I know, Medicare will not pay for anything that is OTC. They require a script in order to reimburse. I believe requiring a Rx for these item probab...

Thanks for all of the insights on this situation. It "may" make sense they want to protect themselves from introducing viruses into their hospital system or personal laptop too. Then it "May" make sense to bring in the machine so they can insert their own SD card to assure it's truly clean. But why ...

Hi All. I have just seen a "new" sleep Doc,as my previous one had his license revoked. I's actually been 8 years since I saw a Sleep specialist. When I went for my appointment, the Medical Assistant said they could not read my SD card with the Data on it. They didn't have the capability. I found it ...

Thanks for the info ejbpesca.

It must be something that Apria is doing wrong.

And I think since I used my primary care Doc for the Rx, he isn't familiar with the Medicare requirement.

But Apria certainly SHOULD be aware.
