email Remzzzs with your question.  They had a survey sent to some customers about a year ago regarding how satisfied they were using Remzzzs but more important why they used it.  This survey was to be used to petition Medicare to cover this item.

 

I have never heard back from Remzzzs so I would guess that it "did not fly".  If you think about how you have to have a prescription for the CPAP unit and must use it continuously for 6 mos. I doubt a piece of cloth will ever qualify.

Hi Charles, thanks for your response. You may be interested to know that we did receive a coding decision from Medicare with an assignment of the following codes: A7031 and A7032. The survey was a great help and we received hundreds of amazing responses from our customers. If you are interested, you can read a selection of those responses here:

You can buy "coral fleece" (thinner and not so fuzzy as fleece) at WalMart or in a yardgoods department and make your own mask liners if you feel so inclined.

 

Thanks, Nathan, for posting the HCPCS numbers. I'm not at all the domesticated type so I've bought the RemZzzs at a local DME providers.

Thank you Nathan for responding to my query.  I read your publicity and know that Medicare has approved Remzzz, but I can't find a supplier who will ship the Remzzz and charge them to Medicare/Insurance.  As a matter of fact, your company will not do this. 

 

Thank you Judy.  Yes, I have made a template for this product and made it from tee shirts.  If you have the time, you can make them at home.

 

I am still testing both the remzzz and another product that is a cream.  RoEzIt will not harm your mask but adds a smooth layer under the mask to eliminate the hard feel of the mask  and the marks on your face.

Both of these products are better than nothing but the leaks are less with the cream.

Good sleeping everyone.

Is there a connection between sleep apnea with sleep meds?

The Medicare HCPCS number is A7031/A7032.  You will need a prescription from your doctor to be submitted to your carrier.  If you have Medicare Advantage you will probably have a copay.

Hi, my name is Becky. I took over monitoring this discussion from Nathan.

Do to current Medicare guidelines, because we are a manufacturer, we are not allowed to bill Medicare for our liners. But since this original post, we do have many companies that now carry RemZzzs and will bill Medicare, Medicare Supplements and other Private Insurances. Please feel free to contact me at: social@remzzzs.com. If you will provide me with your City and State in which you live, I can put you in contact with a company that should be able to help you out.

Lincare and Apria are 2 nationwide companies that I can think of off of the top of my head that can and do frequently bill for RemZzzs. However, there are still some locations that have not heard about us and will say that they can't bill/buy our RemZzzs liners. In that case, I can contact them, get them some complimentary samples and get them on their way for you.  :O)

Please email me (social@remzzzs.com) for a complimentary sample and if you have anymore questions.  Have a GREAT day!  :O)
