Re: How much is a set of home Sleep apnea kit?

When I switched from CPAP to Autopap, my doc had me set the settings going from 8 to 18, since this started 2 below my titration pressure of 10 as was 2 off the max of the machine. These setting have been fabulous. My sleep study AHI was 60, my straight CPAP was 20 now I am at about .7.

Re: No CPAP Supplies DME says under audit

I see that you are from TX. Medicare has been shutting down a lot of DME suppliers for fraud in TX&FL lately. While I do not know DME's specific situation that could be the case. I would get a new DME ASAP.

If your insurance company requires an authorization then the insurance company is also required to send you a letter saying that the authorization has been approved the day that the insurance company approves the DME's request for authorization.

Re: Snoring while on CPAP

Using CPAP on an Airplane

More specifically my questions are: 1) Where did you put the CPAP? 2) Was the standard 6 foot CPAP hose long enough to be effective? 3) Did EmPower with an adapter work to pow...

How Did you Try Different Masks?

Hi, I am a new CPAP users and I am having issues with my mask. I am, using the Amarma Full View. I hate the mask. It digs into my skin and also falls off in the middle of the night (after about 5 hrs or sleep). I have it adjusted as loose as I can still get a "happy face" on my CPAP. Basically I was...
