In my experience, sleep apnea treatment in the US is a racket. The sleep center tried to maximize the number of office visits they could bill before prescribing treatment and the insurance tried to delay approvals and minimize the cost and quality of equipment they would provide. Meanwhile, patient suffers. After 5 months of repeated visits, when another 6 weeks was tacked on, I went out on my own and got the best machine.
