My husband would not wear the device on his head. He could not sleep and he wanted to come home. Now I wonder will they charge for a service that was not completed. What if he has sleep problems and oxygen can help his memory? If he was diagnosed with sleep problems, would he keep that device on,...
As to your question about the insurance, I suppose it depends on the carrier. If it's Medicare and they don't cover it, be sure to appeal. You can go to their site at www.medicare.gov to find out how.
Good luck,

For other people, or even in this case, they now have an "autopap" that they send home with you for three nights. You don't need all those wires attached to your face, or to be in a strange place overnight. It just measures when the breath is and isn't meeting resistance in getting into your lungs. My husband got one to check the output level, to see if it was set high enough.
You still have to wear the mask, but it's much more convenient in most cases.
