You may want to call your insurance company to find out which of their vendors has a contract for this. It's made by Atos Medical and they have a website. I'm pretty sure they also have a toll free customer service number you can call to see if they accept your insurance. They were pretty helpful when I spoke to them in March.
Brian is right that there's good information right here on the main site. I learned a lot from reading that before we ordered the device and it was very helpful.
