New Prescription options.

Post by higgledy » Mon Jan 01, 2018 8:10 am

I just went to my sleep doctor and got a fresh prescription for masks and supplies. Considering medial suppliers, I'd like to keep my options open. Can I present the same prescription to two different medical equipment suppliers? Just in case I don't like the customer service of one I can then bounce to the second supplier. Thank you.

The only caveat I can think of is if insurance is involved, don't let the orders conflict in time so it doesn't look like you are gaming the system.
