re: Cpap-sleep apnea technology has a huge tech cheaper change

Acesses to cpaps has been controlled by the sleep clinic permission system, where a first test to see if apnea exists and a second test to determine cpap pressure setting. Tests can run a couple thousand dollars to insurance companies.
Technology has changed, almost all cpap's are now automatic settings based on your sleep position, atmospheric pressure, elevation and nasal congestion. Far more accurate than the second study to determine a manual pressure setting.
If your PCP recommends an updated sleep study to verify pressure setting, better to buy a new automatic machine.

I guess I got lucky. I was part of an apnea study at Pennington, part of it was their giving me a Dreamstation (automatic CPAP). It changes air pressure based on my apnea, I'm usually around 9-11.
