Re: Question for people interested in the Bleep DreamPort no headgear cpap mask

I actually emailed CS at nationwide and did not get a reply.

IMHO any company who has a website to solicit business and doe not bother to respond to their own inquiries generated from that site are unreliable - not for me and not recommended.

Re: Question for people interested in the Bleep DreamPort no headgear cpap mask

Question I have is if you use Nationwide are you in or out of network? BCBS will only pay 50% out of network and 80% in network. Is Nationwide going to accept the 50% as payment - probably not so how does it all shake out in the end?

Re: Reformatting SD Card question

I think SH software makes a backup of the card data. If not, you can yourself. However, if you have imported to SH then you should have all the card data already. You might consider just buying another card for a few $$ (they are cheap - Walmart) and simply use it and archive the older one. Nothing ...

Nasal Pillow Mask is A-7034 Allowable is $88.66 If you use that link I gave you can put your state in and the code. Or, do a keyword search (upper right) here: https://www.cgsmedicare.com/jc/index.html You need to verify that your zip is rural ... most all I have found are and BCBS actually allows a...

Re: Question for people interested in the Bleep DreamPort no headgear cpap mask

This is not totally on subject but possibly relevant. I have medicare advantage with BCBS and after they totally PO'd me I went to war with them and I am winning. I have got them to pay for my CPAP machine as a purchase and initial supplies supplies as they should have. it took some arguing but I pr...

Re: Background info re: fatigue and sleep study results

Couple of thought you probably have covered. I assume your oxygen stats are good and you are not short of breath - yes? I too am a mouth breather and had horrible dry mouth every morning. Since I have used CPAP it has stopped completely. I am using the DreamWear nasal cushion (not pillows) and have ...

Re: OSCAR is Released

Well I tried it last night with these observations 2. Major Uh Oh for me. I work graveyard shift, and slept today from around 7:00am to 4pm. In Sleepyhead, I am able to switch the day rollover from noon to a time that's good for me. Unfortunately in Oscar, this has been disabled. Hopefully in the f...

Re: OSCAR Suggestions

It would be great if there was some instruction on importing the Sleepy Head Data into Oscar. I have tried several times and 00 results. I notice that most of the time the file type says nothing (like all files, etc.) so it is a crap shoot (for me anyway) to find a folder or file that will enable th...

Re: Adding Oxygen to CPAP

I guess one can find any data they want. However, if one does not need daytime O2 I do not think adding a 1L flow at night into the Dream Station is measurable. My data suggest that it is not with using the APAP with and without the O2 and by using just the O2 alone. In fact, My levels are better wi...

Re: Messed up display

Sounds like you never heard of Windows Vista! Best Is XP Pro, but we must adapt or die. Jim Yep ... I passed on Vista totally and hung on to XP Pro as long as possible. That was hands down the best SW Microsoft ever made. I still have it on the wife's CPU but I could not handle all the nag screens ...

Re: Adding Oxygen to CPAP

I agree with Goofproof. 1L is a waste of time so I think you may want to look for a "new doctor" who knows what they are saying. I would also be sure you are working with a Pulmonologist and not just the primary care guy. More O2 than needed is not a good thing either. I use O2 @ 2L but found that I...

Re: Messed up display

Windows 10 is the worst OS that Microsoft has ever made ... unfortunately I have it too. I suspect the Home version is worse by a factor of 2 as well. You have lots of issues starting with the laptop. For $150 or less you can buy an inexpensive monitor and use the laptop to display on it with a simp...
