Yea, I prefer Sleep Central over Apria. They were great. Apria is slow to get things done. It took them over 3 weeks to change the settings on my bipap.

However, the last time Apria came out, the respiratory therapist explained my benefits. I saw shocked to find out how often I was allowed to replace the equipments: stupid things like the hose or water container for the humidifier. I got two masks within a 2 month period and didn’t pay a dime. If you still have Apria, you should called them find out what your benfits are.

I from Orlando, FL and my wife and I were visiting her sisters in Atlanta, GA. My bipap, died the night we got there. I called Sleep Central that evening and they sent me a temporary one the very next day; so, I was only missed one night. I could not believe how quickly the responded. When I got back to Orlando, the respiratory therapist came out to my home within a week with a new machine. He was supposed to pick-up the temporary one, but he forgot to take it. I called them back to let them know and they said they would send someone out, but they never did. Now, I use it when I travel. Everything is backed up and ready to go. I don’t have to worry about leaving anything behind anymore.

They did the same thing when I switch from a cpap to a bipap. So, I have a spare cpap. If you can’t get yours fixed or replaced, I would be happy to give it to you. The only thing is that when I moved, the power cord was missed placed. I would need to find it, unless you have the same cpap. The setting on it will also need to be changed, I believe it is still set at 19; the reason I was switched to a bipap. The unit is made by Respironics and it is Remstar plus. It is about 3 years old and was only used for maybe 3 mouths.
