Considering the deal, as it would pay for itself in just 1 year given my $25/month rental charge. Anyone else willing to share what they get charged per month for CPAP rental?

Thanks OP and reps x4! nod

Yes, when you sleep and stop breathing due to sleep apnea, it robs your brain of oxygen. It is what they call the slow killer.

I've been struggling for around 8 years being tired all of the time but not being able to sleep. When I do get to sleep it usually is for about 6 hours (but do get up 2-3 times to turn in bed) and then I'm up. I also have Beta Thalasemia but this has been all of my life. I probably still need to see a hematologist to see if anything is related.

I've been battling depression and anxiety since all of this happened and some GI issues. I thought initially this was from a toxic job and just piling up all of the years. My first home sleep study had an AHI of 5 back in 2016. A sleep lab showed close to 10 but due to my anxiety I had taken 2 ambiens to knock me out. I later found out those throw all of the numbers off. I had another sleep study done in Nov at home and it showed an AHI of 2.5 and 3.1 (2 different days). Someone mentioned that the sleep study doesn't take into account UARS. I just don't know how to present this to the sleep doctor to at least try a Bipap and see if things improve. My mouth breathing still persists.

I'm just really lost and keep getting tests done which say everything is fine when things are not.

My doctor has ordered a cpap for me. Would this one be covered by the insurance as well? Is is a better option or should I stick to whatever the sleep med center will order for me?

I'm just suspicious of overly inflated prices for medical devices acquired thru my doctor.

First time using a cpap ever.
I bought this ResMed refurbished through my local supply shop and paid $300 for it via my HSA. It's been great, no problems with it. I almost never buy machines or parts through insurance because of exactly what you mention: they charge so much more through insurance a lot of the time (especially if it applies to your deductible, and you haven't met your deductible for the year yet). I now buy my CPAP supplies from https://cpapsupplies.com/ using HSA funds. They routinely have 25% or even 30% off sales, so I buy all my parts once a year when they have a good sale.

Sleep doc w IM background:

I urge everyone to talk to a sleep doctor and generally ignore medical advice on here. Some info is right, some is wrong, and frankly it's because of lack of understanding. For example, you wouldn't know that CA is further subdivided into hypocapnic vs nonhypocapnic categories and your body is responding to both in completely different ways (with different treatments and PAP machines needed at times).

This site is a great place to find deals. I couldn't find you a cheaper AirSense 10 and from that perspective this is a great machine. The algorithm for the AutoSet is (practically) the same as the newer AirSense 11, so if you would use the automatic CPAP mode (most OSA patients) you're getting as good of an APAP setup as any other I know of with this machine.

I want this as a backup to my DreamStation 2. That uses the 15mm heated tube.
I look at the Airsense 10 and it appears to require different tubing. Anyone able to confirm whether or not I can use same tubing on both machines? I hate to outlay a bunch more on different sets of supplies.
TIA

Solid deal I wish they had a deal on a Bi Level like the Air Curve, 😞 I'll keep holding on to the one I got until then

Yes you do need a prescription. Maybe some people here can help explain the process they went through and the clinic costs. Not sure if a sleep clinic is required as it was years ago.
The Rx doesn't have to come from a sleep clinic or a sleep doctor. The Rx simply needs to be an Rx issued by someone legally authorized to write prescriptions aka a medical practitioner. My last prescription was written by a nurse practitioner.

Do you need an rx to order?

Walk-in clinics like CVS can write the RX for apnea.

Or any walk-in clinic if you call ahead. Probably want to do your homework on what CPAP you want in case the physician tries to steer you to their store's inventory or preferred brands.

What min max setting do you use? Doctor wrote 4 to 20 but I've heard 20 is too much.
As others have written, you can change the settings yourself, just make sure you understand the settings before you change them. Lots of info can be found online.
I set my airsense 10 to apap to run as low as 7.8 and as high as 16. Every few months I'll lower the lower end just a little and see how my body responds. When it's set too low, I start having apneas before I reach a restful sleep and then I have more apneas through the night.
If you're into reviewing your own sleep, I recommend installing and using OSCAR https://www.sleepfiles.com/OSCAR/ [sleepfiles.com] . OSCAR can read the SD card from your CPAP and give you all kinds of details that normally only doctors can see. You can see details like what type of apnea you had and when, and the pressure that the machine was pushing at every minute throughout the night.
Any time I adjust the settings on my machine, I'll compare the following couple of nights to the prior nights to see if the changes were beneficial.
Another thing that helped my apnea is an adjustable base bed. For me, raising the head of the bed 3 to 4 inches lowers my apnea events quite a bit.

Got this model from my doctor after being diagnosed with sleep apnea. Have never gotten deeper, better sleep in my life. The only annoyance is dealing with Apria on replacement parts. But worth the purchase if you need it. Some of the parts that you think will last long due to their material, actually gain wear and tear quickly and need replacement. (Hose, velcro headpiece,) I go through a full facemask a year.

I got the air mini last month and didn't like it. I don't think I can return it unfortunately. If you're thinking of getting the airmini for travel, I would much rather lug around the airsense 10/11. The airmini is so loud and you can't do anything about it. The noise comes from the pressure in front of your face. I thought it would be from the machine. It's hard to sleep and would affect others around you if you sleep around others.

I can see it being useful if you can fall asleep easily in anything or want to wear earplugs or just use it on the plane, but outside of that I regret the purchase as a travel one. It will now serve as an expensive backup.

4-20 means your doctor didn't do anything at all. That's 100% default settings.

Everyone's min max settings are different (I wouldn't worry too much about max).

It's not recommended, but you can use OSCAR software to read data off your machine and make a decision for yourself. But If you don't want to do that, just kind of bump up your min pressure 0.5-1 cm at a time until you see reductions in your AHI below your target number for 2-3 days in a row.

This is really a great comment. It seems like every time a deal is posted about a cpap machine, the thread turns into pages of medical opinions. This site is great for finding deals. I trust people's expertise here on whether something is a good buy. When it comes to medical information, I hope most of us take it for what it is - people trying to be helpful providing what they believe to be true with limited understanding, which shouldn't be used to make life altering decisions.
