Anyone here in Charleston, SC? Looking for new DME company.

(1) Ask your insurance for a list of local in-network providers.
(2) Check the Medicare providers list for your zip code
(3) Try online providers, like Cpap.com, or Secondwindcpap.com.

My doctor's office was also good about recommending a DME. They do a thorough job for their patients. (Your sleep doctor's practice may not be so thorough.)

(1) Ask your insurance for a list of local in-network providers.

I also like this option. One day, I was in a discussion with my insurance company and mentioned that I was having problems with one of the in-network providers. The insurance lady immediately offered to call them and "set them straight". I was able to get it worked out on my own by calling the DME manager, but I will keep in mind that the insurance company can help with DME problems.

I too am looking for a new DME as the local one I use consistently screws up my insurance billing. I've been considering an online DME.

What are people's recommendations for an online DME? I've been looking a cpap.com and americarecpap.com.

I've been using Versus Health Care for about two years, with no problems. They've been courteous and prompt.

Most of the online DMEs do not deal with insurance. They will provide you a form that you can submit for reimbursement, if your insurance company allows that.

Hopefully your search for a new DME is not because you believe they will provide better help.
If it is help you are looking for, this is the place.
