Scrod Part II

Post by Tired_in_NC » Mon Jan 22, 2007 9:08 am

Part II in my saga....

Went to get machine on Sat. from Apria. Got the inof , mask etc. I then learned that the unit was a BiPap Plus, not an Auto. No card to monitor what is going on, no way to let machine see what changing settings will do.

Anyway, I left sans machine. I need to start cycle all over and see if Doc will write the SCript for and Auto unit. What really gets my blood boiling is that the difference between the Plus unit and the Auto is $75 (CPAP.COM). Heck I am even willing to kick in the extra $$$ if Cigna will not budge, but I need the proper script first. Since this is a new companion for 5 years, I want to make certain that I am happy with it...

Other info , if anyone cares.

Apria "cost" $1825 for Respironics M series BiPAP Plus with humidifier, only $425 more that other places.
