To the person who continually flags several of the posts here and is creating a lot of extra work for me. Just because someone thinks that the replacement use is excessive doesn't mean that is a reason to remove the post. All it means is someone thinks it is an excessive amount of supply usage. Now...

In can anyone else come to this post looking for similar info: I found what seems to be the current New York State medicaid guidelines for allowed quantities and frequency CPAP supplies. It is the "DME_Fee_Schedule" spreadsheet https://www.emedny.org/ProviderManuals/DME/PDFS/DME_Fee_Schedule.xls whi...

A 2013 HHS.GOV document link attached and a screenshot of Medicare/Medicaid replacement 'schedules'. I don't believe much has changed for Medicare, but it does appear each state may have it's own replacement guidelines for Medicaid. https://oig.hhs.gov/oei/reports/oei-07-12-00250.pdf Thanks for you...

It took them a few days to call me back and arrange delivery, but I finally received replacement today! Th...

Thank you for the feedback. I read enough in these forums to know to ask my doctor to write my prescription for a specific machine, so that I wouldn't have to argue with DME about what model I would receive, and I decided on the Resmed AirSense 10 AutoSet. I have been living undiagnosed for many yea...

I am new to CPAP, and I received my CPAP device a few days ago. I have not used the machine yet as Apria also sent me the wrong type of mask, so I am waiting for that to arrive. I was going through the manual and controls and see there are 699 hours recorded on under run time! It is my understanding...
