FWIW Walla Walla, Apria has ResMed, and I think ResMed only on machines. Masks are mixed between Respironics and ResMed, at least my local one is that way.

Don't matter to me. My supplier gives me whatever I want. My DME is Amazon.   Too-funny

Ditto!

And I hate it that Amazon is my DME, because if I were to use a brick & mortar DME my insurance would cover it all.
