[quote=Anonymous]Medicare should cover a CPAP machine, no questions. They do have more requirements for the BiPAP machine. In order for you to talk to Medicare on your mom’s behalf, you either have to sit with her on the phone or she has to fill out an authorization form, allowing you to be her designated representative to talk to them. They won’t talk to you otherwise. You could also call her doctors office ask them what durable medical equipment supplier (DME) they sent the prescription to. Then call them and ask if they called your mom. They’d be the most likely people to call her. They are the ones who would have contacted Medicare to see if they would pay for the device. The cost of a bipap machine is about $1500, with Medicare your mom would have to pay 20% of that. [/quote]
