Glad to hear from you, where ya been the last couple years. You do realize that after 25 years in the field technology has moved on and you are technically obsolete. What got me started this week was my wife going to a sleep lab to start the process requiring at home testing because of mobility issues. All okey but then they said the second test had to be done at their lab which had no mobility accommodations. Kinda obvious that could not be done so the proposed alternative was to prescribe an auto titration cpap.

Please review my post to understand that I recommend not using Insurance because it's cheaper and and a whole lot less hassle to buy it direct. All of my machines have had sd cards over the last 15 years. The first one was read one time to generate an insurance report, the second machine sd card was never read and had to be replaced after 4 year because it was full of useless never read data.

Maybe you could learn to code

Wow! I'm impressed your anecdotal evidence of your experience certainly outweighs my 25 years in the industry. shite, I wasted a bunch of time going to all those classes to become a respiratory therapist, spent years dealing with patients, conversing with doctors, learning the requirents of various insurances, when I just could have asked you for your vast knowledge based on how you and the Mrs. acquired your CPAP.

I taught a guy today, how to use and care for his new Autocpap, fitted him for his mask to make sure it didn't leak. He will be called in 3 days to see if everything is ok, then again in a month, then again in 6 months. Behind the scenes, if he has issues with treatment he has a medical professional working with his physician's office to come to a solution. He got all of his equipment, the service, and the service after sale for a massive $97! I sure bet he wished he had just typed in his VISA number on a website, paid $650, and a few days later a box arrives with contents that forces him to figure out on his own. CPAP.com probably has thousands of employees that do nothing but call doctors on the behalf of their patients.

Damn, I feel dumb now.
