Medicare and CPAP, any advice out there?

I have recently become elgible for Medicare and have the AARP Supplement.
Can anyone advise on how to best get some help from Medicare with CPAP items such as interface, filters, repacement parts & such? Is there a way to acquire these items when needed without going to a Doctor each time? I do use our Host for nearly everything CPAP and have always paid without reimbursement and was hoping to get Medicare to share some of the burden now.
I do have a prescription for the equipment and supplies necessary to treat my OSA.

Merry Christmas!

You do not need a prescription for cpap supplies - mask, head gear, filters, etc. cpap for seniors is an excellent site for all medicare questions.

They're also a part of the CPAP.COM group of companies.
