Anyone here deal with Harvard Pilgrim?

I was just recently diagnosed and completed the second test with titration. I was told my primary care doctor would prescribe the machine next week. I was wondering if anyone here has dealt with having Harvard Pilgrim medical insurance? Also if you start out renting, do they convert to purchase and have you keep the used rental unit or send you a new machine? Do you have a choice in manufacturer or model? I need something portable for work so I've narrowed down which I would pick if given the choice. Just waiting for call from the doc next week. thanks
