Waiting For C-Pap

Posted by anniehall on January 06, 2005 at 21:09:47:

I have been playing phone tag with the healthcare equipment company for 2 days. Now this evening they say that my doc never faxed them my pescription for the C-Pap. The healthcare equipment person said that they DO have "papers" on me, my sleepstudy, my insurance approval, YES! But he said they have no prescription for the machine and nothing telling him what the setting should be. He said he has called the sleep doc's office and left a message and no response. I tried calling today and and am getting nowhere. This is frustrating...Tomorrow is Friday and if I can't get these people moving, I will have to go the whole weekend again without C-pap. I am really tired tonight, getting a tad cranky, I guess. Been sleeping really badly and feel particularly whiney this evening. Ha!
I will start again tomorrow morning (from work) and call the sleep doc's office to see if he can fax the prescription to the healthcare equipment company. Now this equipment is supposedly covered by my insurance 100%. Thats good, yes? I have been reading these posts about people buying their own c-paps online etc. Since my insurance covers this 100%, I might as well go with it, right, I mean as long as everything works for me ok. It will be a lease, probably? But if I want something special, the insurance may not cover that, just the standard one, is that what happens?
