Google reviews is love them or hate them, mostly 1 star but a few 5 star and not much in-between. Hopefully someone with direct experience can help you.hobbs wrote:Any first hand knowledge about Nationwide Medical?

A smart DME will try to get and KEEP your patronage. (But that is only the smart ones)
If you realize you have hooked up with a turkey, you are free to keep looking.
Just get the in-network list from your insurance carrier.

I like Nationwide Medical. I've used them for several years for CPAP supplies and got my first machine from them three months ago. They're very professional and provide great phone support.
If it were my first time, I'd probably choose someone with a local office, but they're great for an experienced user.

Review after (11) months. Supplied a S10 Autoset with mask, filters and ClimateLine tube in February 2016. In August I got hypoallergenic filters and (5) mask cushions. Last month I told them I wanted to try the Resmed N20 mask. I just received a full mask setup (headgear & cushion), (6) filters, new heated hose and (6) replacement cushions. This many cushions may last longer than I do!hobbs wrote:Any first hand knowledge about Nationwide Medical?

I guess you could call them and tell them to stop automatic shipments........If you decide to change masks, this is all wasted.

Re: Back to a DME afer a long time without . . .
I can't really say, since all they do is send supplies. Since I've been using CPAP for over 18 years, I don't really need much else. The same goes for my sleep clinic (they say they give good support, but I've never really put it to the test).
Re: Back to a DME afer a long time without . . .
I just don't know about all you pessimists.
All this concern about stuff lasting longer than you. I plan to be around for a good long time, since I consider myself middle aged. In August of 2015 I hit 70. In 2016 I decided to do 69 again. This August I will do 68 again. So I plan to outlast all my current stuff. If it doesn't work out that way, I may just ask for a refund.

Every time I see someone younger than I who looks older, the following thought enters my head:
Worrying about how old you look with make you look older. Guaranteed!
Maybe not directly, but worry makes your face squinch up, making a home for wrinkles.
