- Hi Jan! How're you doing? If you've posted anything I must have missed it. But I wanted you to know I've been thinking about you.
Give me a shout when you feel like it.

- Okay take a deep breath!!!
If you haven't gotten your equipment, please, please read up about the various machines. If you are using a local durable medical supplier, you will need to advocate for your needs in many instances. They typically give out machines that only show compliance data, meaning how many hours and days the machine is used. You are better off getting a machine that can actually track your data including how many apneas you are having nightly, how much air leakage you are having, etc. The machine won't cost you any extra as insurance only uses one code to bill by. The cheaper machines allow the DME to make more profit so is why they typically give those out.
If you would like further info add me as a friend and ask questions. Thanks.
