I'm not sure what your friends financial situation is but maybe try to collect some money for her and buy one? I googled that the average cost is just under $1k for a CPAP machine. If it could change her life then maybe should could even pay it back one day.
- cupofpython 4y agoI second this. Absolutely pay out of pocket if insurance drags their feet. I spent $5k on a mouthpiece for my treatment and would do it again. It is far from an ideal solution, but in the 3 months it takes insurance to get their shit together - your friend could have the energy to work a side job to pay off whatever it costs and just be generally happier overall
- jrockway 4y agoOK good advice, did not know that was an option.
- cupofpython 4y agonote out of pocket doesnt mean independently - definitely still have a professional approve the purchase decision in case something about the configuration needs to be tailored specifically for your friend in my case, i needed to see an orthodontist every 2 weeks to have the mouth piece adjusted. I am not sure how CPAP works to say if it is safe to "plug and play out of the box" so-to-speak
