Final cost[?] of bilateral dbs. $64,000 I understand that this is very cheep! Viral polyp in nose. Cure. Antibacterial ointment. Cost ENT visit $600 This led to a sleep test First night $1200 Second night #1800 CPAP machine $1500 plus Why can't my GP prescribe a few nights rental . If it helps, I buy my own machine for as little as $350. THEN if things are a bit more complicated than normal, do the sleep test. I made EVERYBODY angry and bought my own full featured, machine for $595. The Dr held up the prescription for 4 weeks. My insurance won't reimburse me. Said that they must play by Medicare rules which includes a rental period. My part of the rental cost would be about $595. GREED GREED GREED The cpap machine is great. but the system is crazy. What if EVERYONE had a $5000 deductible that forced them to ask money questions. could we then have some real competition that forced fair pricing? gwc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
