DJ, what is your AHI? Most (atleast 99%) insurance companies base their authorization on the AHI not the RDI.

Welcome and good luck,
I went to the dme with 3 machine choices, all fully data capable. I lucked out because My dme was only handing out the S9 Autoset which was one of my choices.
I like it alot, of course i had to change some or the settings to be able to see the proper data.

'geez louise, I had no idea they did that! They want your AHI number?
Its funny because when I switched to the s9 from the system one Aflex, the insurance company told me there was NO MEDICAL NESSESSITY to have
that machine.. they said I could appeal their decision if I wanted to..
and instead, I just packed it up to return it, I was so upset, I thought, well if I dont need it, then, I will just quit this entire business..
but turns out the dme made a clean switch with me and billed them twice, which really caused
me some grief. I was just looking for an excuse to quit, and I thought they had given it to me..
