Most XPAP supplies are made to last 3 months, so much shouldn't be needed, It you had stock piled in the past you would have plenty. You can order them online from the forum site provider or the auction, the rates would be better than a BM DME. Jim

Some of the best prices I've found have been at the cpapauction.com

Which "supplies" do you need that cost $300-$400??? I haven't bought anything in 1.5 years. Masks are expensive, but most will last for at least two to three years if not abused.

What supplies are you in need of that are that much money a month? Or are you going off of what was being billed to your insurance? Most insurance will pay for a new mask every three months but they last much longer. My insurance will pay for a new hose every month but I have only thrown out two in the past year and they were damaged by me being careless.
