That will work.
When I see him for my annual checkup I will take him a Sleepyhead statistics page. It shows compliance and AHI for the last year.

It has often been stated that there is a Medicare requirement that you see your Sleep Doctor at least once a year.
But, I have searched the Medicare website for just such a requirement & could never find that.
If anyone has a link to that specific requirement, I would greatly appreciate it.
Over my 16 years on XPAP, I have heard DMEs & Sleep Doctors claim that X is "required" only to find out for myself that no such thing was required.
So, please pardon me for wanting direct confirmation from Medicare if that is really a requirement.
