Insurance pays by billing code. The billing code for CPAP is
E0601 regardless of whether it's the bottom of the barrel (no-data) or the top of the line APAP.
You got screwed. Your DME put their profits above your health/therapy. Someday you'll wish you had a better machine.
And, it wouldn't have cost you any more.
If you were buying a car this way, would you rather have a Cadillac or a Yugo? You got the Yugo and you could have had a Caddy.
