Re: Bleep Eclipse at Aeroflow

I was on the wait list for quite some time for the eclipse at aeroflow and then decided to just do the original bleep. I think they somehow dropped me from their wait list when I first was on it and right before the first shipment they got arrived, and then I had to be re-added to their wait list an...

I am uncomfortable with the refurbished units, and will ship them back to Philips- Fo...

Re: Latest test didn't show apnea? But I know I need cpap.

Have you considered requesting an overnight in Lab sleep study? I have a friend that was borderline in terms of just shy of qualifying for CPAP (through insurance) by 1 point - and he is getting an overnight in lab study tonight, in hopes that that will show the numbers required by insurance . . . f...

Re: DME hasn't been charging me for my AirSense 11

On Sirius XM radio "Doctor Radio" there is a call-in show for Medicare and health insurance questions. They often suggest not getting a supplemental plan for Medicare parts A & B because the out of pocket costs without it are often less than you pay out in premiums and co-pays. You really have to d...

Re: Phillips / Philips Respironics recent recall notice discussion thread

One of my three system 1's was replaced today by a Dream Station AutoBiPap. I think it is new, I don't see a refurbished sticker on it and the manufacture date says April 13, 2023, and it has 0 hours. The email from Respironics arrived today saying that I would be receiving the replacement - it is f...

DME hasn't been charging me for my AirSense 11

Oct '22 I got a new AirSense 11 from my DME- and they charged medicare $100 in Oct, but no other charges (medicare claims) since October. Over a month ago, I called the DME to inquire about not being charged for the Airsense 11, and the DME rep said according to their records I didn't owe anything/n...

Re: Phillips / Philips Respironics recent recall notice discussion thread

For the past few months, I have been calling P.R. every couple of weeks to check on status for my system one replacements.
