    So you got a med card?. I thought the sleep study/cpap was needed so you could get a card?.

    I would be wary of this company, something tells me they are willing to tell you whatever you want to hear to get you to sign up. Make sure you are not getting into a lease deal or a 1099 contractor situation.

    The new Dreamstation is a little different it seems from ResMed. In the video they say the auto CPAP only has automatic mode. So unless you really need automatic CPAP I don't think you can get one. It up to the sleep doctor ask them about the autoset. The humidifier is a separate add options. Ask them to get that since insurance is paying. Their is a wireless modem option also since your truck driver they might go for that option. Because the insurance company want to see your using the machine. So you have bring the matching back to get the data off, or the modem and it will send the data from you truck sleeper any place in USA

    There's no way for you to delete your account, so your stuck here with us.
    At least you let us see the sleep apnea testing process and what a pain it is.

    The last couple things anyone needs to know about CPAP on a truck is powering the machine. You can buy a cheap inverter that plus into the 12v plug in truck. You can also buy a 12v power cord for your cpap ResMed has one and I believe their is one for the Resperonics Dreamstation it like $27.

    If you get and plan on using the humidifier you need Distilled water you also kinda want the heated air hose. Because what happen is the warm humidid air will get cold in the plastic air tube like in the winter. Then the water collects in the air hose. Its called Rain Out and it sounds funny when your sleeping it can wake you up.

    The masks and a little secret they don't talk about. When you get new face mask or CPAP setup. You have 30 days to try any mask you want. You can return your mask if you don't like it and try another for FREE.

    I'm going to ask my doctor for n auto CPAP, because I looked online and they are virtually the same price as the standard ones.
