    I have been getting conflicting information about the VA issued CPAPs and their data. I have tried several times to speak to the lady at my local VA hospital that works with the CPAPs, but seems like every time I am close she is busy. My guess is they do have them. I don't use a CPAP so I can't make an intelligent comment on this. I have been told that the VA does have a means to get the data. Just not sure. I have a pre-surgery appointment on the 16th. I will try again that day to find out!

    I get the new mask and hose every 6 months or so through the mail. I live in the middle of nowhere Upper Michigan, the VA hospital where I had to exchange my Army issued CPAP for the VA issued one is close to 200 miles away but there's a small clinic the next town over, about 10-15 miles down the road. I'll try there and see what they can do.

    I know my machine is connected to my Wifi, I've received phone calls from the sleep clinic #####ing at me for not being in compliance, but it was because I went out of town and left the machine in its bag on my kitchen table.

    Take your cpap with you to the sleep clinic at the va and they will download 90 day printout for you and then you take the printout to the dot physical. Thats what I do. You will only get a one year card though.

    Thank you!

    There you have it! the best solution I know of. Hopefully, in the not too distant future the VA will handle all of this.

    In that case, you can call them and they can email you the compliance report. Simply print that up and take it with you to the dot physical place.
