order to comply with FDA regulations SleepRestfully.com requires a
prescription from a licensed physician to provide you with a CPAP/BiLevel
Machine, Oxygen Concentrator, CPAP/BiPAP Mask, CPAP/BiPAP
Humidifier, respiratory equipment and certain other medical supplies. You may fax your

the United States to (281) 501-7969;
upload a copy from the

Your prescription should have the
physician's information and signature, the type of machine you
need (CPAP, Auto CPAP, BiLevel, oxygen concentrator, etc.), and the pressure at which
the machine is to be set if applicable. Once we have a
prescription on file you will be able to place future orders
without resubmitting a new prescription. Your original
prescription is acceptable regardless of the date it was
written.
If you do not have a written prescription we will be happy to
contact your prescribing physician to obtain one on your
behalf. In this case please provide
us the patient's full name, date of birth, physician's name,
address, phone number and fax number on the customer checkout
form in the "Additional Information" area or e-mail
this information to us at sales@sleeprestfully.com. No merchandise requiring a physician's prescription will be
shipped prior to Sleep Restfully, Inc. obtaining one.
