Cpap tubing
Cpap tubing
I recently got my restock equipment for my Cpap. I notice they sent bigger tubing. I was using slim tubing when I started off 4 months ago. Do I need to change tubing in settings in Resmed from slim tubing to standard?
Re: Cpap tubing
If it were me I'd contact the DME and tell them to send the slim tubing you are accustomed to using and what they supplied previously. I know I sleep better with a slimmer tube than the larger one.
If you do use the larger hose you should use the setting in the Resmed machine for Standard.

Re: Cpap tubing
Just so you know, slim tubing costs about $4 more than regular tubing, but "slimline" tubing costs about $30 more.
When I had CPAP coverage with Kaiser, my prescription was for the slimline tubing and Crapria switched me to the regular tubing instead--higher profit margin for Crapria. Even when I complained to Kaiser, they would only send out slim tubing, not slimline. They all fall under the same billing code.
