CVS HealthHub
I am looking for alternatives to the DME supplier that I have been using (Apria). The alternatives have not been any better from what I have seen until now. I just saw that CVS has something called HealthHUB that includes screening and assessment, CPAP devices and supplies etc.

RE: CVS HealthHub
If you rely on insurance to cover your CPAP therapy, check with the insurer whether CVS is in-network. The CVS HealthHub appears to be a solution that integrates a doctor that can prescribe equipment based on home sleep study or questionnaire and other information, and provide equipment through the CVS system. I don't know what equipment is available, and the first question I would as, is if they provide Resmed, or have an exclusive distribution agreement. Since you already have a provider and prescription, it seems you are free to go anywhere that in in-network for your insurance, or use an online supplier if you pay out of pocket. I think the first logical step for you is to check with your insurer what your options are, then if you want to switch from Apria, you will have a list to choose from.

RE: CVS HealthHub
Exactly what I've done. Call insurance customer service and get 4 or so contacts of in-network nearby suppliers. Call and find what brand they issue.
