Join me for a sit-down with Robert Miller, VP of Sleep Business for Apria Healthcare, a nationally recognized CPAP supply company in the United States.  He is a seasoned sleep technologist with 30+ years of experience in sleep medicine and durable medical equipment (DME). In this candid conversation, Robert sheds light on:
  • The evolution of sleep studies: From paper-based diagnostics to modern digital systems.
  • CPAP therapy hurdles: Why insurance delays, incomplete orders, and compliance requirements frustrate patients.
  • DME dynamics: How providers and physicians can streamline CPAP approvals and improve patient adherence.
  • Real-world solutions: Mask-fitting tips, post-paddle insomnia fixes, and alternatives like BiPAP for non-responsive patients.
Robert also shares personal insights from his own sleep apnea journey, including 50-pound weight loss success and strategies to avoid "PAP burnout." Whether you’re a patient navigating CPAP frustrations or a provider seeking smoother DME partnerships, this episode unpacks systemic healthcare flaws—and how to work within them.Thank you!AK
