Hey folks, I "finally" got my machine (from the VA) about a week ago. It's a RESPIRONICS DS950HS SV. Got a Quattro full faced mask as well. I saw on the box the costs was $2999 for the machine and $169 for the mask.

Not 100% sure yet if I'm liable for a Co-pay yet, but I'll deal with that when the time comes. 20% of $3179 sure beats 20% of $4500!

Maybe your copay will be closer to 20% of $1500 by the time the insurance company or whatever agency you're dealing with assigns it's "allowed" cost.
