Airsense 11 Auto and insurance compliance and data reporting to sleep doctor
I just got my Airsense 11 from the DME this morning. I had to sign a few forms but they were electronic so I couldn't review it closely on-site. They mentioned they would send me a copy via email. When I got the various documents tonight, I noticed they put the wrong serial number on all their tickets and orders. My question is, how does my sleep doctor see my CPAP data and the insurance verify compliance? Is it linked to the serial number or some other method? I'm guessing I need to call up the DME when they open and somehow get them to fix this so my insurance compliance isn't riding on some other person's CPAP data.
From what I can tell the order says to link the CPAP to my doctor's Airview account, whatever that is.

RE: Airsense 11 Auto and insurance compliance and data reporting to sleep doctor
So my wife just got one. (I've had mine two years.) She is Medicare.
So doctor writes prescription, and supplier sends it to you. The supplier can read the data, and sends the doctor serial number so he/she can see it. I don't THINK insurance companies see the data, but doctor fills out the forms that insurance/medicare receive. So insurance can tell if you are using it from information the doctor gives them.. If the serial number is wrong, notify your supplier so they can fix this. The doctor is at the center here.
My wife's machine is broke, so back to the supplier, and they should update the info for the doctor (or you can.)
I'm not an expert, but this is what I saw.
Funny story, I took an online at-home apnea test at home during the COVID days. When I needed one, nobody had a CPAP because of shortages (and a Philips recall). Anyway I did find one at a CPAP store that was in-nework, but they didn't take insurance and I had to pay full price and submit it to insurance, I called insurance BEFORE I bought it and they conformed everything. So mailed in my receipt, and it took ALMOST a year for me to be paid back, but eventually I was. I never really had a sleep doctor at the time, but I have gone to one since. Nobody checked my usage, as far as I know.
