My slim line hose broke and I wanted to know if I could buy supplies online without a prescription?
Can I also buy straps for my mask and whatnot?
Thanks!
Can I buy supplies online once I have the machine?

You should be able to check cpap.com and they make it clear which items require a script. For the items that do require one, look on ebay or craigslist to buy in parts.

Yes... you can buy the hose and straps (and other supplies). Keep in mind the slimline hose is more expensive than a standard hose. I keep a standard hose as a quick spare.

Absolutely! You'll need a copy of your Rx only for things like masks and machines, but you can buy things like straps, hoses and filters without one. Our hosts (Cpap.com) sell nearly everything, and their customer service is GREAT!
Of course, there are lots of places online you can buy hoses and such, but I personally prefer our hosts.

I can buy on line, but my insurance will not reimburse me.

Re: Can I buy supplies online once I have the machine?
If you buy online from many places, it's considered "Out-of-Network" and therefore may not be reimbursable. However, if you call your insurance company and tell them the hose broke, they may refer you to an in-network Durable Medical Equipment provider (DME) who can get you a new hose under your medical insurance.
