Recommend a good DME for Tricare coverage?

Post by palerider » Mon Jun 12, 2017 7:09 pm

got to talking with my physical therapist today, and it came out that she's got *three* people in her house on CPAP, her husband and twin 10yo kids, she's not happy with her current DME, and I said I'd ask for recommendations and let her know what the wisdom of the forum says.

anybody with Tricare and really happy with the service from their DME? doesn't matter where, as long as they'll ship.

============

good and DME is a contradiction

tricare should have a list they work with
get the list
google for reviews and complaints
What time is it there in Hilo now, xxyzx?

Hubby has Tricare (Medicare primary, Tricare For Life secondary), and is pretty happy with Verus.

I have TRICARE Prime and have been very happy with my experience. A lot of people on here have had to figure things out on their own, but I was lucky enough to be referred to a sleep study clinic where they did, quite literally, everything for me. All I had to do was follow the directions in the package to set my machine up and figure out how to use the mask for my best results and I was done.

the question is not what insurance company to have, but what DME that takes tricare is good.

I have Medicare and Tricare For Life. I have found Optigen, which is also listed on the internet as MilitaryCPAP.com. I am happy with the support I get with them. So far, they have sent me everything I have asked for. They are located in Florida, and I get my supplies through the mail.
