Re: No insurance; APAP without prescription

Thanks, guys. That was very helpful! Except, I’m still confused on what exactly I need in the way of masks. My primary won’t write a script without a sleep study (not sure about my dentist). To clarify, I will be looking for: AirSense 10 AutoSet or the AutoSet for Her? Once I have that, I need to fi...

No insurance; APAP without prescription
