I went for a physcial when I first started and told the doc i no longer use Cpap due to life style change he gave me a 1 year card ... Fast foward the year went back doc told me before she even started id need sleep study and since my card still had a little over a month left she said she advised me not to do it. Anyway went to my doc got my old sleep study got a new mask started useing it again went to Doc got a 3 month card was told to come back with usage report ... Anyway i got a print out for 30 days and was at 99% the 25th will be 60 days b I have to have a new physcial by Nov 3rd how many days will they need to see to get a new year card or will i have to keep going every 3 months

You should get a new one year card with 30 days compliance. If not, I'd go to a different dot doctor. You don't want to seem like you're dr shopping but you are entitled to a second opinion.
