Card reading?

[MEGA]

I'm a newby.... please help... How can I read and interpret my own card? Do I need some software? (you see I don't even know the right terms LOL)

register for the forum - fill out your profile

make sure you list the correct machine you have -----

even if you just post what machine you have on this thread, it would help determine what software and more you might need - otherwise we are flying blind on trying to help you

If the machine you just put in your new profile is correct, you have the Plus - worthless to get the software - total waste of money

you need to demand your doctor write a script for the Pro - that has worthwhile data

The Pro? No wonder I had no clue about what everyone was talking about LOL

there is a step up from the m series plus which is the m series pro - it has DATA worth getting the software for - the plus m series even with the card module isn't worth it -

Jules, thank you, I will definately ask my doctor. Makes you wonder, why not prescribe the top of the line? This is all new to me and need all the information I can get. I just saw some videos on my machine (once I figured out which one I really had LOL) and I see where the filters are.

the top would be the apap with aflex - ask for that one or the apap with cflex (next down the line) but settle for the pro - if they won't allow an apap - an apap can be set in cpap mode so you can get the exact same therapy with the apap as you have now - just have a few more perks available by having the apap option if you need it some time

it is really all a matter of profit for the DME - they can buy bottom machines cheaper than top and the insurance company pays them the same amount no matter what machine -- hence more profit for a lesser machine

WOW... I'm glad that there are people like you who are informed about this issue... this is all new to me... it's like learning another language with all the terms LOL
