Hello all, I just got my new S9 Autoset last night .... finally upgraded from the S7 Lightweight from 10+ years ago. I have a few questions: 1. The memory card it came with seems a bit larger than the standard SD card .... how do you read the data?? Is there a recommended software? 2. How do i check...

Lincare was the closest local in-network DME. Guess I'll start contacting others. What is the best way to find out if the S9 is covered - seems like the simple way - asking - hasn't worked well the first time around. Any suggestions?

Just got off the phone w/ Aetna and they are "researching" the situation. The explanation they gave is that they do cover E0601 coded machines but that their contract w/ DME's can differ as to which specific machine - does this make sense? They also said that based on their contracted rental/lease p...

That sounds familiar. Before telling me the S9 was not covered by insurance the DME said it would be $255 up front with $48/month for 9 months (total $687). If yours is a "lease agreement" as well - in your experience what are the on going maintenance fees etc with your arrangement? Do you find this...

I do recall my insurance person asking for a code and I didn't have this. Is E0601 the correct code for S9 Autoset? Maybe I'll call back with this added info.

I do not have an IntelliPap - my current machine is a 10 year old S7 Lightweight that i would like to upgrade. My insurance is through my wife's plan at Lockheed Martin. Aetna has said they treat CPAP machines as a lease agreement so you never actually own the machine. I would have to pay my deducti...

The prescription is approved for APAP (range 5-20). Lincare is the only "local" in-service provider ..... anyone have recommendations in the Washington DC Metro area (i'm in Reston, VA).

Thanks.

Hello all, I did some research and was pretty set on the Resmed S9 Autoset to find out my insurance only covers Intellipap. Aetna will consider making an exception with a Predetermination Benefits Request from my doctor. The request needs to state why S9 Autoset would be a better solution - the more...

just called insurance and they looked up and said that is what is covered ..... i need to get a Predetermination Benefits Request from my Dr. explaining why the S9 would be the better machine then they review and make a decision. DME is Lincare and they carry S9 Autoset. May make more sense to go ou...

I'm trying to upgrade my CPAP to the Resmed S9 Autoset and the DME is saying my insurance only covers Intellipap ..... anyone have experience with this or suggestions on how to proceed?

Thanks,

Ryan

Thanks for all the input. Insurance is going to cover most of the cost so S9 Autoset would not be out of the question money wise .... I mainly want to get what will work best.

Thanks again!

Hello all, It's long overdue in an upgrade (currently using Resmed S7 Lightweight ... ). My last (and only) sleep study was done 9 years ago and i was diagnosed w/ mild to moderate OSA (AHI 21/hr sleep). Since then I've put on 25lbs (200 to 225). Questions: 1. How often are you supposed to have a sl...
