CPAP treatment for obstructive sleep apnoea: manual
17
WHAT HAPPENS IF I NO LONGER COMPLY WITH MY
HEALTH INSURANCE FUND REQUIREMENTS OR DO
NOT ATTEND CHECK-UP CONSULTATIONS?
•
Reimbursement of the treatment by the health insurance fund will
cease.
•
The hospital will notify you accordingly by registered letter. Within
14 days of dispatch of the letter the CPAP machine and accessories
will have to be returned in satisfactory condition to the Centre for
Sleep Disorders.
If you fail to do so, you will be charged 800 € to cover the cost
of the material.
•
You can, if you wish to do so, continue the treatment at your own
initiative. Any equipment and consultations will then be entirely at
your own expense.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF MY CPAP MACHINE FAILS
DUE TO INCORRECT USE, POOR MAINTENANCE, OR
IT IS NOTED THAT PEOPLE ARE SMOKING IN ROOMS
WHERE THE MACHINE IS USED OR STORED?
You will be charged for the full cost of the equipment, which can be
as much as 800 €.
If your treatment continues and your convention arrangement is up
to date, you will subsequently be provided with replacement equip-
ment.
