Should I Use Insurance for DME or Buy CPAP Now?
-
I've reached my Aetna deductible. Should I go through insurance for a DME, which might lead to delays and issues, or should I purchase my CPAP outright immediately to put an end to these frightening suffocation nightmares?
-
After meeting your Aetna deductible, insurance can help with CPAP costs. Approval may take time. If you buy it outright, you'll get it right away but need to seek reimbursement. Your choice depends on how quickly you need the CPAP, your budget, and your comfort with insurance processes.

If getting a CPAP now means paying out of pocket and waiting for a refund, but getting insurance approval takes longer, what’s more important: starting treatment right away or saving money?
-
Choosing between immediate CPAP treatment and waiting for insurance approval depends on the severity of symptoms and financial considerations. Severe sleep apnea may justify starting treatment right away for health benefits, while mild cases might wait to save costs. It is important to balance urgent health needs with long-term financial stability to achieve the best outcome.

I know untreated sleep apnea is wrecking my energy and health, but the insurance hurdles for a CPAP are exhausting. Is it worth waiting weeks for approval, or should I just pay out of pocket to start treatment now? I'm trying to figure out if the immediate relief is worth the extra upfront cost.

My sleep issues are starting to ruin my daily life, but I’m stuck waiting on insurance. I'm stressed about the costs. Should I pay for a CPAP now or wait for approval? Between medical bills and my deductible, I’m not sure which option is worse for my budget.
