Default Sleep Apnea

My husband suffers from severe sleep apnea and has wonderful success with his CPAP machine: no snoring, calm and good rest. I have mild sleep apnea and also use a CPAP rather successfully. We are new to The Villages, and need to establish ourselves with a sleep disorders physician in order to monitor our CPAP machines' calibrations plus get supplies; these must be prescribed by a qualified sleep disorder doctor in order for Medicare and our insurance to help with the supply acquisition and costs.

Anyone have a good doctor referral for sleep disorders? One you have used? Any support group here in TV? Any help would be appreciated as we have visited one such local doctor who REQUIRES another sleep study (I just had one 2 years ago!) before he will write any Rx. Our previous out-of-state sleep disorder doctor is being requested to send our records but this doctor says, "No. Still need a sleep study." Not comfortable with this doctor or his staff, so any help from you will greatly appreciated, as we do not plan to return to this outfit.
