Ordering white filters

Post by 87123yoga » Wed Oct 14, 2009 7:56 pm

I ordered white filters from my local Bill My Insurance under Medicare and Tricare for Life. I expected to receive 6 but only received 2. How many should I have received?

Since I am going in the hospital tomorrow, I will not have a chance to call them for some time.

Thanks.

2 a month is probably what is allowed ------- you need to check with medicare and DME

Hi,

When I order on-line, the white ones come in a pack of 6, while the black ones come in a pack of 2. I found it cheaper to order this way than what my co-pay was. I change them out every 2-1/2 months.
