Doing CPAP for many years myself, I would suggest purchasing mask supplies on-line to save money, once you know which model/size will work for you. Pay up front for these supplies, but then submit the receipt to your insurance for re-imbursement. Insurance claims can be made by you just as easily as a DME can claim. Full face masks are usually a poor solution for most people, no matter which make and size. They all just leak too much. Nasal masks are better, and if you can't keep the air from escaping out your mouth, a chin strap can be used.
