Hybrid - New Reimbursement Codes

[cpapnewby]

My DME just called me today and said that I could get a new Hybrid mask (sans the headgear) because the mask has got a new Medicare reimbursement code that allows me to get a new mask every 3 months and the headstraps every 6 months. My Hybrid works fine but what not to like about getting a new mask every few months!

Wonder if Apria will finally give patients the Hybrid if they want it or if their script is for the Hybrid.
