CPAP & Backorder UPDATE SEPTEMBER 23 2021
NATIONWIDE CPAP SHORTAGE CONT.
There continues to be a nationwide shortage of all CPAP devices. All DME suppliers are on
allocation based on their historical monthly usage. Not only are we being limited in how many
devices we can purchase per month but those devices are being divided throughout the month.
We are processing all prescriptions as they come in and contacting patients in the order they are
being received. We currently have a waitlist and are scheduling weeks out.
If you would like to be set up on a device sooner and do not be on the waitlist, you can chose to
be set up on a refurbished machine. This is billed at a lower rate to your insurance and will have
a limited warranty coverage. THIS IS NOT A LOANER MACHINE. You will not receive a new
one at a later date. However, it does allow you to get a device and start your therapy sooner.
We will continue to monitor the supply chain issues and keep our patients and referral sources
up to date. Contact our Sturgeon Bay or Appleton offices with any questions.
Thank you for your continued patience during this unprecedented time.
Manufacturer Backorders and Shipping Times:
We are currently experiencing long wait times from our manufacturers due to shipping and manufacturing delays due to COVID.
Some CPAP supplies are taking as little as 10 days to as much as 10 weeks to arrive. This
will inevitably cause shipping delays and order issues with our customers.
We are doing our best to stay stocked but please be advised that some orders may only be partially filled while we wait on supplies from our manufacturers.
Most affected manufacturers are ResMed, Respironics, Fisher & Paykel and Golden Technologies.
