I dont think its wrong to offer these items (free or sale?), but I think its wrong to take advantage of your insurance to get items you know you dont need. Thats one reason insurance costs are going up.....

Some DMEs like Lincare auto ship if they know insurance will pay. I have Anthem and I think I finally got off their auto order list. Their email says call to order but they ship anyway.

Please clarify which AirFit 10 mask you are using.
Your profile shows the N10 which is a nasal cushion mask and yet you mention "pillows" which aren't part of the N10...they are part of the P10 (see the mask I have in my profile).

Do you wish to sell the heated hose for the AirSense 10 machine? If so, how much?
I could use a spare and would be interested in one of the heated hoses.
