A "doc" can be anyone with a doctorate, including scientists, veterinarians, and authors.

Why do some online stores require prescriptions to purchase a mask, while others do not?

Some reading.......Background information by the owner of CPAP.COM and this forum:

search.php?keywords=prescriptions&terms ... mit=Search

Den

.
Checked the link out, one of the issues mentioned was expiration dates being required by FDA.
I just got a complete mask with headgear and I could not find anything on the Resmed bag that had an expiration date. Then checked a f30 mask cushion that I just got from my DME, that Resmed bag also had no expiration date.

So are these supplies supposed to have expiration dates?
