HumidX source?

Post by chriscowles » Wed Dec 18, 2024 9:23 am

Not having used my AirMini for awhile, I'm looking for HumidX cartridges for a planned trip. I'm shocked by the cost. $46.50/6 with a 25% discount at CPAP.com is the cheaper of the two sources I tried first. (The other is Apria, my usual Medicare supplier. That's $53/6 with a 15% discount.)

Is that as competitive as it gets? I know DME prices are inflated because insurance discounts them significantly. Can I buy HumidX cartridges through traditional Medicare (plus a supplement), if it's not my primary device?

Thanks

No one will file them through Medicare regardless of which device you are using because there is not a Medicare code for these cartridges.

Your best bet is to search the internet. I would start with Ebay.
