The insurance should cover it. If it works, then the rental is converted into a purchase (and the insurance should cover that, also). If it doesn't help, you simply return the unit at the end of the rental period. The "key" is getting proper instructions in the use of the device. These units are not that expensive. I think that purchase of them is less than $200 (U.S.). Best, Bob Robert A. Fink, M. D., F.A.C.S., P. C.
