A member asked:
I've recently been diagnosed with sleep apnea. does my primary dr. fill the script for a cpap device or do i have to find a specialist to assist me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The doctor who: orders it would need to have specific knowledge about Cpap & sleep apnea. Usually that is a specialist (like ENT, Neurology, Pulmonology, Sleep Med).
