So now I need an idea of what supplies I can order and how often. I believe the former DME used the Medicare schedule. I wont need supplies that often but dont want to order something too soon.
I feel free
well, i think i may be misunderstanding this part. do you mean how often you should order supplies or how often they will want you to order supplies?
if the later, dunno. if the former, i think you've been on board here long enough to know we don't blow through supplies all that often.
and just browse through cpap.com and see what they have on hand.
I mean how often can i order masks, pillows, humidifier, hoses, etc. i dont need near the schedule my DME used but will need to stay within their guidelines of what they will pay...which I believe might be the medicare schedule. I know I’ve seen that schedule on here somewhere

The Medicare schedule is listed in this article but you insurance limits may be different. I remember with my Anthem insurance some things are “as needed” instead of every 6 months. My DME sent me a humidifier tank after 1 month.

Did you NEED a humidifier tank after 1 month, or was the DME maximizing their sales?

Lin(don't)Care was trying to maximize their sales.
They have been fired and the tank for which I paid 20% of the cost is still unopened.
