Hello everyone. TGIF! Good new's. I went to my primary care doctor yesterday and we was talking about my cpap and my health. He wasn't happy that i did not get the auto pap he wanted me on 7 week's ago. So today i will be getting a Resmed S8 Vantage EPR Auto CPAP Machine brought to me. I was using LinCare but as of this month they don't take United Health Care. So they switched me to a new DME company called Health Care Solutions in Valley Veiw Ohio. Now UHC has been renting my S8 Escape so that wont change. The heated Humidifier unit they paid for will work on my new machine so that is good. Now i will data abilitys but no software.
Hope everyone has a good week end.
John

I was also using Lincare, and was told they no longer accept United Health Care insurance. In my case, I own my machine, and am not really interested in using a local DME to purchase masks and filters, so I told them NOT to transfer my file, just sit on it (in a nice way).

I could just see Apria going crazy on the filters and hoses each month. My policy pays 80% as of June 1st, so it is cheaper for me to use online companies for misc.
