Some old threads talk about a free version of some software
I've found several posts from the past that reference that encore released a free version of it's software when they first started making it available? Is the 'free version" still available? I don't want to violate anything. I know that with computer software, if the software was originally free, th...

Could I not say, well just call the doctor for an updated prescription? The doctor specifically wrote cpap AUTO on the script, but unfortuantly indeed only say 12 as a setting.

I finally have some time to go to a DME tommorow. Should I postpone to get a new script for the 'range' and specify heated? If I demand heated, can't they just call the doctor for an ok? Yea, I have no intents on handing over the original script. Basically, can't I set the 'range' on an APAP myself?...
