Re: Any military dependents using Tricare Prime here?
Thanks for the link, I'm a guest so I had to remove the link. Those are some hefty prices for individual parts though. I bought a complete mask with RX at Direct Home Medical. The price was so good I bought two of them. $49.00 eachLSAT wrote:Some Flexfit 407 supplies on Amazon...no prescription reqd.
Apria has them for $54.99 each on their website
Now, since I can get one from Tricare through Apria, and pay 20%, I will have three new complete masks. I like that because it means the mask and hose will be dry after cleaning each day when I want to use it. I will just rotate the masks each night and will keep getting new ones from Tricare, that should make it worthwhile to keep it going.

If you are looking for a company that accepts Tricare check out cpapmedical they are a veteran owned company and service mainly military members and their families. I go through them and they are a great company to work with when I am in need of supplies.

Hello everyone, I thought I would update here what I have found to be the most accurate info I can find regarding CPAP and replacement supplies.
According to Tricare South-Tricare goes by the CPAP Supply replacement schedule that can be found on the website below.
add a www (because I can't post links) cpapsupplydotcom
You could also search CPAP Supply replacement schedule and the website should pop up.
It is all right there, the supplies will be replaced according to that schedule. It is interesting too, because my prior supply company told me a mask every 6 months and tubing every three months. Turns out I get a mas every three months as well as the cushions. There's more, but just go there to that website and you will see the supply list schedule. Have a great day everyone.
