Ah, gotcha. So CMS has certain type of breathing problems they will "count" toward their AHI criteria and others they won't. Your number for THEIR criteria was 5. Still doesn't mean you don't need the machine, so hope you are able to get it one way or another. Even if certain breathing disturbances are not classed as an apnea or hypopnea and don't reduce O2 to a dangerous level doesn't mean those disruptions don't cause a major problem with getting restorative sleep.
Yeppers. Exactly. My non-CMS AHI is 18. They were with 3% desaturation.
