My supplies are fully covered by insurance, so I order on the DME's schedule and get everything offered. I plan to use them till I think they're kind of beat up, and stockpile the extras for the future. My husband is approaching retirement, so it seems wise to have extras in case our retirement insurance doesn't cover as much.
Medicare plans cover CPAP supplies

Stockpiling extras... I've learned to stop doing that with respect to masks, because, so far, I've changed to a new and improved mask long before I ran out of 'stockpile'.

Same here...learned my lesson after giving away a boatload of P10 and Swift FX nasal pillows I bought so that I would always have some handy. Number one I never needed to replace them nearly as often as I originally thought...and number two I found a different mask that I prefer to use now. I still have a P10 and a couple of nasal pillows for emergency use should I get a drippy nose and the Bleep won't stick so great...but it will last years with my current emergency use.
