Actually a Dentist can write one too. The prescription can be written by any of the following care providers:
  • Medical Doctor
  • Doctor of Osteopathy
  • Psychiatrist
  • Physicians Assistant
  • Nurse Practitioners
  • Dentist
  • Naturopathic Physician

RE: BiPAP advice please?
So.... thanx to all your help, I finally got my new ResMed AirCurve 10 VAuto! I love love love it! I couldn’t be happier. Been sleeping with it for 5 nights now. It is so quiet I am not even sure when it is on. Also I think the H2O reservoir must hold more than my last one because I haven’t run out of water yet and I often ran out and woke up with a dry air headache on my old one. Most of all I LOVE the app. ❤️ ❤️❤️❤️ Thanx again for all your great advice!
