It is sort of ridiculous, which is why companies make it fairly easy to work around. You go somewhere like 1800cpap and they send you an at-home test kit, you return that to them and they have a doctor look at the output. The doctor writes a prescription, then 1800cpap happily sells you whatever equipment you want. You won't even talk to the doctor. And I can't guarantee this, but I suspect the doc is incentivized to always find something worth writing a prescription for.
