    Hell yes! We are going to Crested Butte for the first time this March. Any experts wanna give me the TLDR version of a family trip - 4 adults, 7 kids under 8 - at CB? We are flying to Gunnison direct which is huge. I’m tired of the Denver to I-70 corridor beating. 

    I'd just leave the kids at home, will be much more fun.

    Did a home test the other night and Dr. called and said I have severe apnea (65.5?) and recommended I get an APAP machine and sent my info to a supplier.  They called just now and said they need to do the paperwork with doctor and insurance and will call me in the next 5-10 days for a machine.  Question for you based on what is in earlier posts - I have no clue what the next part of the process is but can I just ask the doctor for a APAP prescription and get pay for it myself and send the bill into my insurance? (My sleep doctor was in my Aetna network so I assume so is the vendor...)

    Am I stuck this route to get all the settings/fittings correct the first time? Should I contact my insurance and ask them directly? I'm more than happy to just buy it outright rather than some monthly plan where they charge my insurance 2x the cash price because of interest, etc...  (Plus, I don't really want to have to wait 1-2 weeks to get the equipment now that I know it's "severe"...)

    Try to get it through your Insurance. It will help long term with getting supplies. Think of DME companies as pharmacies for medical equipment. They will handle the insurance part and it become a lease to own process where if you do your part and use it, the insurance will pay for it. More importantly if you try to buy on your own, the replacement masks, hoses, etc can be more difficult to get lined up through the DME company.

    Past that there is a massive recall on CPAPs. So there is a delay going through insurance or out of pocket.

    One last note, 65 isn't great and you need to treat it but it is a chronic issue. It rarely causes any acute issues. I had a patient yesterday with an AHI of 134.
