Has anyone had travel CPAP paid for by Medicare?

Has anyone had travel CPAP paid for by Medicare?
After reading many positive and negative comments about the machine, I've decided I want a ResMed Mini for travel purposes.  In a previous post, someone commented that it's an E601 and therefore should be covered by Medicare (I meet all the Medicare requirements for a "normal" CPAP).

However, my doctor tells me he believes Medicare does not cover travel machines, and I'm unable to find a DME supplier who supplies this machine and accepts Medicare (not sure if accepts is the correct verb, but hopefully understandable).

So...Has anyone had their ResMed Mini paid for (80%) by Medicare?  Any info on the DME, and how you did this, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
