Thanks a lot for the review James. It's very helpful.

I use nothing but Distilled water with my NeilMed Sinus Rinse kit.

It's like $1.29/Gallon at my local Grocery store.

I've been using the "NeilMed" Sinus Rinse packets (kit).

You can purchase an entire box with 50 salt packets, a bottle and cap/nozzle.

Very easy to use.

I got the entire kit for $17.00 on Amazon.

2 years ago I bought a Medistrom "Pilot-24 Lite" rechargeable battery (24-volts DC) for my ResMed airsense autopap. The battery was very expensive, and serves as either a power source (camping, boating) or as an uninterruptible power supply. My apnea has gone away (yay!) and the ResMed APAP is in a...

What is interesting is under the support documents for the F40, it says to tell Airsense 10 and 11 it's a pillows mask instead of a full face mask: https://support.resmed.com/en-us/masks/airfit-f40/. I've found the F30 to be the most successful mask for me so far, but it has short comings I hope th...

DRC09, Thanks for your insight on the Medicare Guidelines. I was not aware that their were different HCPC codes for different "Types" of masks, and that Medicare was performing audits and demanding the specific codes. That does explain why my local Apria office wants a Rx for a specific mask. Geez, ...

Thanks again everyone. It's been about a years since last got a mask, so Crapria can get away with parting out an entire mask. Most unfortunately, I don't have a copy of the original Rx for my supplies, otherwise, it would be an easy matter to walk with it wherever I wished. Another thing that was f...

Pugsy, Yes, I've heard that one many times. And Crapria is the Master of the Art of Lies. I was given a name of a DME that is close to me that I am going to call to see if I can start giving them my business. One of the sad facts about DME's, is that they consider the Doctor's as their customers, an...

Thank s for all of the replies. So everyone is in agreement that the DME is full of it, which is no surprise. Like Pugsy, I haven't seen a great need to see a sleep Doc, as I have been on CPAP therapy long enough to be able to handle "most" problems. So far, I have not had anyone (Medicare) say they...

BTW... I am on "Original/Traditional Medicare". I am not currently seeing a Sleep Doc. My Primary care Doc said he will write an Rx for whatever I need. But he is not a sleep Doc/Pulmonologist, and I am sure he is not extremely well versed on the ins and outs of the APNEA world. He does mark it in m...

Hi All. I have a question about Medicare CPAP supply coverage. I have been using CPAP for 17 years and have been on Medicare for the last 2 1/2 years. I have ordered my usual Nasal mask from time to time with no problem. But My Doc recently wanted me to use a FFM when necessary due to some congestio...

but seems like I may need a new sleep study (mine last one was 6 years ago), Medicare does not require a new sleep study. (There are some exceptional cases.) The assistant at my sleep doctor knew from experience which were the good DMEs and which were the bad ones. I don't currently have a "Sleep" ...

If this will be though insurance, check to see who is in the Insurance network. I have Medicare and CIGNA as secondary. I can go thru the list of approved DME Vendors on the Medicare site. I know they have pretty extensive network of DME's. Hopefully, I can get some references to lead to a "good on...
