How Long Doe Sthe Va Take To Provide Cpap Machine?

[john6012]

Sad thing is that I had the Sleep Study on 3 Feb 10 and after a month or so waiting for them to call me in, I gave up and went to the VA Records Section and they did not have the report in the system. Then I called the civilian sleep lab and asked them to mail me a copy and send a copy to the VA. I then hand-carried my copy to my PCP and clled the enxt day to verify they had the report and then they ordered a CPAP machine. I don't like to cause trouble, I worked at the VA for 20 years but I do know that I followed up with my patients and fully explained what they had to expect with my clinic.

I've only had two wrecks and fell asleep once while driving at 70MPH. But, today I went to a medical supply joint and picked up a CPAP TODAY it really suirprised me to walk in and walk out with the unit. Didn't cost a dime either with Medicare and my medical insurance. I guess the VA will call someday and I'll have to discuss it with them. Don't know what I'll do with two CPAP machines. It was interestig to find that the CPAP machine and all the attachments cost the gov't close to $800 and I went to Amazon.com and found CPAP machines for far less. Thanks to all you folks that helped me out, I really appreciate you guys!
