Thank'ee

If you are paying out of pocket rather than with insurance go to our host https://www.cpap.com they will match any prices.

Our sponsor CPAP.com usualy has the best prices & their consumer reviews are really helpful.

I also tend to check a few of the other CPAP vendors along with checking EBAY for my CPAP supplies. Whoever has a sale for what I need gets my business.

If you need a machine, and don't mind gently used or open box, check with StlMark, or secondwindcpap(dot)com.
If you have insurance, the local DME's are largely a crapshoot. Good luck!
If you are on Medicare, (but you look so YOUNG!) check this site for who is in network:

Thanks for the info, and the compliment. I'm 66; a lifetime of assholic and immature behavior may have kept me looking younger.

I like my ResMed AirFit F10 FFM - reasonably low leaks for my ASV therapy. I'm currently using a PR S1 AutoSV 960P Advanced. I also keep a ResMed S9 Adapt as backup. I use a heated Hibernite hose. Still rockin' with Win 7 by using GWX to stop Win 10.

Maybe I'll tack it somewhere folks can click on demand.

If you're on Medicare, don't even think of contacting any DME's on that list before you read my blog entry "What you need to know BEFORE you meet your DME". (see my signature below). Trust me, you'll be glad you did!
