Insurance covers CPAP after a qualifying sleep study showing moderate-to-severe sleep apnea (AHI ≥ 15). Many insurers use a rent-to-own model: you rent the machine for $50–$100/month for 10–13 months until it is yours. CPAP.com and other online DME suppliers sell machines 20–40% below in-person medical equipment stores. The ResMed AirSense 11 and Philips DreamStation 2 are the most prescribed machines. Medicare and most insurers require compliance data showing 4+ hours of use per night to continue coverage.
The price of cpap is shaped by insurance coverage, provider type, and geographic location. Patients with high-deductible health plans often pay the full negotiated rate until their deductible is met, making the first procedure of the year significantly more expensive out of pocket than later ones.
Provider choice has the single largest impact on what you actually pay. Academic medical centers and hospital systems charge higher facility fees, while independent practitioners and outpatient surgery centers typically offer lower all-in pricing for the same procedures and outcomes.
