It is recommended you replace your supplies as advised.
When you get a new CPAP, you use it every night when you sleep. Insurance payment depends on compliance with treatment. If you do not use CPAP, insurance will not pay for your CPAP therapy. Call us within a week if you have any issues with newly dispensed CPAP.
You also have a lot of medical benefits from using CPAP. Not using CPAP when you have severe sleep apnea can lead to cardiac complications, including sudden death while asleep.
