        Oh yeah. I remember you mentioning that before. Why do sleep studies cost so dang much and why don't insurance companies cover that cost?

              I've had 2. insurance paid for both.
              one in 2007 in Michigan
              one in 2011 in Texas.

              My sister in law negotiated a cash price with a clinic for my brother in law...

                I'm gona call my insurance company and find out why I got stuck with that bill. I wonder if the doctor that told me to have one done and referred me is in cahoots with that company. I've worked for the state for 10 years now and we have pretty good insurance. And if I remember correctly they weren't going to cover my machine either. Now that I think about it....my ins sucks. Lol but not lol.

                    The doctor sent me to get my sleep study and when I got there they told me it would be $1500 for my part up front. I told them they were crazy and walked out. After another year i finally caved and went back with $1500 cash and had it done. Ridiculous amount of money to pay but it sure did help me.

                      It is sad it costs that but it boils down to what ur health is worth.

                        No humidifier.
                        Full fighter pilot mask (After "goodnight" I usually tell my wife "Roger Blue Leader").
                        Insurance covered everything.

                        I really can't sleep without it anymore.

                            I can tell you the ole pap nap put years back on my life as well as my wife's...lol. Been using one for the last 10-12 years. It takes some getting used to, but when you hit that REM sleep you won't move an inch! And yes the humidifier works best at 2-3 when the humidity is low, other than that I don't use it. Welcome to the pap brotherhood!

                              Can you rent a CPAP machine? I snore bad according to my wife and I even wake myself up at night. I'm sure one of these machines would help and would like to try it for a few months to see.

                                Can't imagine a night without mine. Can't stand the humidifier or heater though.
