Prescription (Rx) and Certificate of Medical Necessity (CMN) Requirements and Verification Process

US Federal law requires valid prescriptions (from licensed – and authorized - physicians, practicing in the United States) for CPAP and BiPAP equipment, masks, and humidifiers. Therefore, we cannot ship these supplies to you until we have your prescription on file.

Requirements

In order to avoid delays and ensure that your equipments and/or supplies are customized to your needs, your prescription must include the following information:

• Your full name.
• Your physician’s full name.
• Your physician’s signature.
• Your physician’s contact information (mailing address, phone number, and email address)
• The type of equipment your physician is prescribing – e.g. CPAP, BiPAP, or oxygen.
• CPAP machine prescriptions must specify at least one pressure setting.
• Auto CPAP machine prescriptions must specify two pressure settings – one low and one high.
• BiPAP (Bi-Level) prescriptions must specify two pressure settings – one for inhalation and one for exhalation.

Does my prescription have to be new??

No. Since most CPAP and BiPAP prescription are written for “lifetime,” “99 months,” and the like, your prescription should still be valid, even if you’ve been treated for a while. However, if yours contains a specific – and outdated – time period, you should contact your physician and request an updated one. Most doctors will do so without requiring an office visit.

Verification Process

If you currently have a prescription, you may do one of the following:

• Fax it to us at: 866-499-1288.
• Call us toll-free at: 866-499-1588 and provide us with your physician’s contact information. We will be happy to contact your physician directly and request your prescription.
• When you check out, just let us know you’d like us to request your prescription.
• Email it to: prescription-verification@FeelingGreatSleepCenter.com

If you currently have a prescription, but can’t locate it, do either of the following:

• Call your doctor’s office and have them fax a copy directly to you or us at 866-499-1288.
• Call us toll-free at: 866-499-1588 and provide us with your physician’s contact information. We will be happy to contact your physician directly and request your prescription.

If you don’t have a doctor’s prescription for CPAP equipment or supplies, but are in need of treatment for an appropriate sleep-related disorder:

• Call us toll-free at: 866-499-1588 to schedule a consultation with one of our board-certified sleep physicians. He or she will evaluate your condition and offer you recommendations for testing and / or treatment for your sleeping disorder, if warranted.
• Contact your personal physician to request an evaluation and/or subsequent referral for a medical sleep study.
