How often should nasal pillows be replaced (specifically for the InnoMed Hybrid)?

I just keep on going with mine, if they seem to start to leak more easily I figure it must be time to change them!

I think you need to ask your insurance. I am supposed to get 2 per month - when and if my DME remembers to order them. I really don't know just how they stay in business.
