FSA Budgeting - How Much for CPAP Accessories?

The coming year will be my first year with CPAP. I would like to add additional funds to my Flexible Spending Account (FSA) to be used for things I might need like nasal pillows, humidifier tanks, hose, filters, etc. How often will things need to be replaced?

Since it is your own money and you don't have to prove medical necessity;

1. Autopap machine $600
2. New mask every 6 months @$100 ea.
3. New hose once a year $15
4. Year's supply of filters $30

$850 would cover it for me. Buy your stuff at CPAP.COM submit the invoices for reimbursement from your savings account,
submit the same invoices to insurance to reduce annual deductible (they will deny claim and won't reimburse you but have to deduct it from your annual deductible).

If they ask why you need a new machine every year tell them if fell off the night stand and got water in it.

Mmmm that is less than $75 per month, how much is your DME charging? Add that to the premiums and co-pays, still cheaper just to buy it outright and get a new machine every year.

Should add a heated hose to that list, that is a good investment.

Good idea to submit it to my insurance. Might as well reduce my deductible as much as possible.

I might look into the heated hose. I was having some problems with rainout but I reduced the humidification and added a hose huggie and it has stopped. I will get the heated hose if I start to have problems again.

Hi everyone!

My name is Jason I've been lurking here for a while now and finally just joined. I’ve been a gamer for most of my life, and I’m looking forward to my new “home” and getting to know all of you.

Anyway, I'm wondering if any of you have any experience with any of those Wii Downloads sites? I've found a pretty cool site that has lots of reviews and info about Wii Downloads. Is anybody here familiar with it? It seems pretty cool to me and I'm wondering if any of you have an opinion.
