Replacement for Quattro FX mask

I have been using a ResMed Quattro FX mask for 12 years and would like to know what is the next "step up" mask which is similar? My DME will not ship me supplies because I need to recertify, so I have to go out on the open market and purchase them my self.

I was diagnosed 12 years ago and have a setting of 13.2. Medicare recently would not allow my DME to ship me supplies until I retested
and this stopping of supplies came completely out of the blue, with no prior notice or anything.

I have taken three new sleep studies and still cant reach the Medicare 5.0 level required by Medicare to have my supplies covered by my insurance. I tested 3.7, 2.0 and 1.0 I don't know what do do anymore and I am asking for advice on ordering a new mask as It look like the Quattro FX is being discontinued.

Thanks for any advice,
Frank

Sorry for the problems.

Preferences in masks is very individualized. You can see a wide range of full face masks at the forum sponsor's website - https://www.cpap.com/plp/full-face-cpap-mask/ZT0yNjU There are photos, ratings, reviews and specs.

You can also find reviews and fitting and usage videos on youtube - https://www.youtube.com/results?search_ ... masks+cpap

If you see something that appeals to you, you can come back here and ask for comments from users.

Thanks very much for the info and has anyone else on the board been forced by Medicare to retest in order to get sup[plies.

Thanks
Frank

It isn't common that Medicare would require a repeat sleep study just to get supplies.
They actually don't want to pay for something that is probably not needed.
I started cpap in 2009....and that was the last sleep study I have had and I don't have a problem getting medicare to pay for supplies.


Who told you that you need another sleep study?

I would suggest that you call up Medicare and ask them directly if they want another sleep study.
Don't rely on what a DME or doctor might say you need without verifying with Medicare yourself.
