I have a friend on a medi-share type program. her husband has sleep apnea. The doctors office said he had to get this certain sleep test, then they would try a mouth guard, if that didn't work, he had to do another test, and all sorts of hoops... before he could get a c-pap machine.
She said "We have this program." The office said "oh! Then you can just go right to cpap." and he got the ccpap. I personally think cpaps are a bandaid for what is really going on, and there needs to be a fix rather than a band aid, however they were pleased they could skip all the protocol and flow charts and go right to what they needed.
