Hello all,
First time poster, long time reader. After searching through the forums I can't find an answer so here goes my question.
Long story short, I was diagnosed with mild sleep apnea through a QTC appointment. My NARSUM states that my sleep apnea can be controlled using a CPAP, my attorney also told me that will likely be a 30% rating without a CPAP and a 50% with a CPAP. The issue I am having is how do I start the process of getting a prescription for a CPAP? Is it a VA issue since I was diagnosed during C&P exam? Is it a DOD issue since I am still active duty? I have a lot of paperwork from the sleep study clinic stating that I have mild sleep apnea (12 per hour) but there is no CPAP prescription. I called the sleep clinic at Madigan Medical Center at JBLM and was told that they couldn't help me since they didn't administer the test. I called the company that did my sleep study (Somonology i think?) and was told that I needed to contact QTC. When I called QTC they told me that my exams were all finalized and that they can't help me. I've called the JBLM ombudsman office a few times, no one ever answers and no one calls back when I leave a voice mail. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all for your help. Godspeed warriors.
