Sleep doctor check up appointments are the biggest healthcare scam in America.

First off, I'm a fat man and I CPAP. So yeah, give me da cookies.
Anyway, they make you go back in every year to buy supplies. The guy literally does nothing but check a box and approve the form. There is no medical advice given.
"Here's a machine you can only buy with our appts?"
"What's it do!"
"Blows air through tube into a face mask. Super complicated. Only I can adjust the settings 1-15 because I am a Dr."
Why does that even require a prescription? America has got to change that crap.
It's nothing but fullblown shakedown every year for $150.

I’ve bought supplies cheap on Amazon and had no problems. It’s a rake going through the doc office.

Eh for the most part probably right. However barriers are usually in place to protect the few at the inconvenience of the many.
There can be some issues with people who's pressure settings are too high actually inducing central Apneas and worsening Apneas. Also this prevents people who just "think/know" they have sleep apnea from just ordering a machine without any prior testing and ruling out other disorders.
Also the doc while may just be checking the form is supposed to be checking compliance, residual events leakage issues through the downloaded data as well.

There are two groups of people who refuse to accept responsibility for anything: fat people and ghetto black people
OT: after dictating to my phone, it autocorrected ‘black’ to ‘Black’

You can YouTube how to adjust the pressure yourself.

Insurance companies typically pay 80 to 90 percent of the cost of durable medical equipment, such as CPAP, after you cover the deductible. To keep costs low, insurance companies do not want to cover the cost of CPAP machines and equipment that you aren’t using, so they develop guidelines that define CPAP compliance. One of those is seeing an MD to make sure you are actually wearing it and wearing it properly.
CPAP machines provide protection from heart attack and strokes in obstructive sleep apnea patients whose pulse rates rise significantly during sleep apnea events, reducing risk by as much as 60% per a study. So if you don't want to go to the check up appointments, don't bother wearing it and just don't go.

We used to think my cousin had sleep apnea and it was really fibromyalgia the whole time. With the medicine they’ve got him on for the fibromyalgia he quit snoring at night and a lot of times at night he quits breathing entirely
