My doc won't FAX it to them because they are not covered under my insurance; however, they are MAILING my prescription to me (no FAX at home).
The post office here has a fax machine and so do a lot of business supply stores like Staples or office depot. In fact a lot of corner stores do it too. So I would get a copy and also fax it in some other way. Things get lost in the mail or take 6 weeks to get there.

Lucklily, here, the mail gets from one side of the city to the other in 2 days...rarely going awry. I'll likely get it tomorrow but a friend said FAX to her and she'll FAX to cpap.com...works for me, now if doc's not OK with that, I guess it'll be Kinko's.

In additon to the mask issue, I'm having PC probs (thermalling ) replaced microprocessor fan twice, next is to replace the motherboard...yikes! I'm praying to the PC spirits to please quit playing with me until I'm back employed

I GOT IT!

Finally, I got my new Auto M with A-Flex today.

Of course, Apria still has a perfect record of NEVER calling me. I only got it today, because I called them.

So I now looking forward to bed time!

Data coming soon... film at eleven!

You all amaze me with your perseverance and strength. I have only had minimal problems with my therapy with BC/BS, but believe me, I'll know what to do if I do have difficulty. It is ridiculous that so much time has to be spent on the phone and in person to get them to do what they were supposed to do in the first place. You all are a constant source of inspiration to me.
