gather round chirren, lemme tell you a story

Oct 30, 2019, 9:39 AM

I got a sleep study and the results were... you guessed it, i need a CPAP. Pro tip. The doctor that gives you the study is the one that decides if you need a CPAP and is also the one that SELLS you the CPAP. This decision is actually made while you are ASLEEP! I asked the nurse if she has ever told anyone that they DIDNT need a cpap. She rolled her eyes and laughed. Incidentally the Scale is 4-20 (why i dont remember) and I was an 8.

Any who. As i said, shockingly i was prescribed a CPAP.

So, go get fitted and such. CPAP nazi told me that it is hooked to the internet and will report on my use. Why? because if I do not use it 80% of the time, the insurance will not pay for it. The insurance company RENTS the CPAP for 1 year at $100 per month and at the end of the year if i am 80% compliant, then they purchase the machine for me......for $1000. Doing the math that is $2200.

Fast forward a couple of months and we go spend the weekend with inlaws who SMOKE. Of course I took the CPAP because of internet CPAP BigBrother Nazis. When I get home, I go to use it the first night and it was like having a waffle house waitress blow shotguns from her lucky strikes into my nose all night. yeah that didnt work. I took it apart, washed it, soaked it in apple cider vinegar, everything I could think of. Also tried to run it to let it air out, but his was chipped so if you didnt WEAR it, it automatically cut off after 15 seconds.

So, I contacted the doctors office and said i needed to exchange it. They said, uhm, no. I said well you told me to use it and now it smells like Mel from Alice's Cigar. They said, continue using it and it will air out. I said #### you. This is a rented machine and if its rented, it belongs to you so.....fix it. We went around and around and I finally said they could take it and shove it.

After turning it in, I turned around and bought one from them for $600. I had to show my prescription.

TLDR

CPAPS are a racket.

they charge $2200 for a $600 CPAP.

Big Brother monitors them.
