Are you staying in the states? Is it possible to work with a DME where you will be working????
Resmed machines are great and allow you to study the data using sleepyhead, adjust your settings, etc.
If you decide on a Resmed, consider an autoset as opposed to the elite because the autoset provides more options:

look at the functional features of the different Resmed models.

I am staying in the states. The issue is then my cost doubles by going out of network with insurance.

I have made 20 calls today, being they are not communication with each other, just trying to get Dr, sleep center and DME to get the information they need. I have not even started on insurance company yet.

Please note that our sponsor, cpap.com, offers free return insurance on some of the most popular masks. In my opinion, this is a huge reason to buy from them as well as their prices also being very good. You do not know how well a mask will work for you until you try it. For those models without free return insurance, they offer a paid return insurance for a relatively small price.

Dealing with insurance can be frustrating and time consuming. When it affects your income, exploring other options is always worthwhile.
