So........why are you wondering "Is it possible
they never
GIVE me a BiPAP/CPAP"???????? HUH?
Who is the "THEY" you're referring to and who will "GIVE" you whatever it is you think you need?
Do you HAVE any equipment at present?
What is it you think you need?
What (if any) insurance do you have?
Who/what is "the healthcare" you refer to?
You really don't NEED any of that to get equipment to get and/or monitor your therapy.
There are numerous ways of circumventing the system and acquiring all of this stuff on your own.

Wulfman, there is my primary doctor,
the healthcare, and the sleep lab. Trying to get a hold of
the healthcare now because according to my primary doctor's assistant,
they have the machine. The last time I spoke to
the healthcare, they said they needed a diagnosis, but the lab claims they deleted that test and so I don't know what's going on.
As far as getting equipment, it's hard to find the exact size because
the one that someone sent me doesn't fit.
I don't have the means to get expensive equipment on Ebay that I don't know is going to fit.
And I haven't been posting jibberish things. I have been posting factual things and trying to explain them as simple as possible. If Julie is rude to me, I will be rude to her. If you don't agree with what I have to say, then you have the option to hit the block button.
ANSWER the friggin' questions!!!
Who/what is "the healthcare" entity you keep referring to?
Company name?
DO YOU HAVE ANY EQUIPMENT NOW?
If so, what do you have?
Are you employed?
If so, is your insurance through your employer?
If not, who/what is your insurance through?
You're the one being "rude".......by being vague and not answering the questions completely.

Okay Enchanter -- read this very carefully.
Nobody here has a clue what you are talking about with "healthcare" -- The standard procession is:
Doctor
Sleep Lab
DME
Whatever/whoever you are referring to as "Healthcare" has no meaning to any of us.
And until you get that straight and make it clear who in the hell you're talking about, you are talking gibberish to us.
Well fair enough but it is factually a healthcare.

I don't think I should name the healthcare. You have to be vague online or it could bite you in the ass if the wrong person reads it. Come on, I'm not gonna list my doctor's name, my insurance, and the healthcare. I have to be smarter than that.

Enchanter, I have tried to stay out of your threads because I don't want to make a bad situation worse.
But nobody here understands what you mean by "healthcare" -- it's not a term any of us has ever heard used in any sense other than a general term. If you refuse to explain who/what "healthcare" is -- how in the hell do you expect any of us to respond in a way that would help?
What part of this don't you understand????

That's what I figgered.
Posters on the forum have NAMED and posted the DME names on the forum since it started. They're public entities. Some have been named in a favorable manner and some have not been........and people have been warned to stay away from them.

What is it you think you need?

Well, since he's on the West coast, that narrows it down to a few possibilities........eenie, meenie, minie, moe.......
Probably starts with a "K", or an "A", or an "L".

Enchanter, I wasn't rude to you, but I was direct - I asked you (as others have since done) to clarify what you meant by 'healthcare'. And made a couple of other suggestions, one of which is that you're dragging out your own case by not acting, or only by reacting, rather than being assertive and proactive. Right now you are the only one (of thousands who've been on the forum) who's afraid to name their DME, insce. co, etc. etc. No one's asked you for your doctor's name. There are insurance co's and DME's known to be very hard to deal with, and we've all contributed to the stories about them and warned each other not to deal with them. Your fear of divulging the name of such an agency is pointless - they're well known all over (not just here) and there's no secret about their practices. We couldn't care less who your doctor is, or which insurance co or DME you belong to, but being evasive about what 'healthcare' means is just keeping us from helping you. You MUST do something to help yourself besides calling your doctor's office. It's not working. Hasn't worked for months. You think your 'perseverance' (pestering) is going to make the slightest difference now?
If you want help answer questions here, or else (as I said before, not rudely but directly) why bother coming here at all - it's serving no purpose as it stands now. But if you get with the program here (working with us to help you instead of copping an attitude) maybe you'll actually get your answers.
