I was just told I would have to have a AHI number of over 10 or 11 (depending) on insurance to be approved. I have no idea what my number is? Does anyone else? I use a Bipap at night level 5-15??? Thanks

ok that number is how many times you stop breathing in an hour, I think...mine is 29.

AHI stands for "Average Hourly Interuptions" (I think) That being said with 20+ you should be fine
