Q: Can I just order a CPAP or how do I get started?
A: You must have a prescription to use CPAP. You or your
healthcare provider can call or fax in the order. Our phone number is
866-921-CPAP (2727) and our fax number is 701-356-5798. We will also need your
name, address, date of birth, phone number, insurance information, and a copy of
your sleep study. We will take care of contacting your insurance company,
however we cannot be held responsible for coverage details, therefore we highly
recommend that you also contact your insurance company for coverage details.
Q: I've just started my therapy and I don't feel any
better. Is it working?
A: Your body needs time to adjust to the benefits provided by
CPAP therapy. You should never alter or discontinue any therapy without first
seeking the advice of your healthcare provider. If you continue to experience
little or no relief from your symptoms, make an appointment to discuss your
concerns with your healthcare provider, or call us. Based upon your concerns,
your provider may choose to adjust your therapy or may schedule you for further
evaluation.
Q: I'm feeling much better. Do I really need to continue
my therapy?
A: Yes. Don't be tempted to stop the CPAP therapy that
your healthcare provider has prescribed for you. The fact that you are feeling
better means that your therapy is doing its job. Your body is beginning to
respond positively to the treatment prescribed.
Q: I can't get this thing to work?
A: Do not give up on your CPAP therapy due to frustration with
the CPAP system or mask. Some equipment may appear to be complex but help is
always nearby-so take advantage of it. We're here to help and can often solve
the problem over the phone.
Q: So am I on my own after I use it a while?
A: No. A CPAP Store clinician will contact you regularly to
follow your progress with CPAP therapy. You will be asked for your �Smart Card�
or similar downloading mechanism, and those reports will be shared with your
healthcare provider.
Q: Is it hard to sleep with CPAP?
A: CPAP
takes some getting used to. That's why it is so important that you receive the
best care possible, from the beginning. Poor fitting masks, nasal dryness and
poor follow-up care are common reasons for people to discontinue use of their
CPAP. At the CPAP Store & SleepEasy Therapeutics, we address these problems so
you can overcome your sleep apnea, lead a healthier life and experience a better
quality of life.
