While virtually all health insurance plans now cover CPAP therapy for obstructive sleep apnea, cpapRX.com does not bill private insurance companies for the cost of your CPAP supplies. You can however submit a request for reimbursement to your insurance company to cover your out-of-pocket costs.
Most of the costs incurred by CPAP therapy fall into two categories: clinical care and equipment. Clinical care includes doctor visits and consultations, as well as procedures like in-lab sleep studies. Equipment costs for CPAP therapy are your periodic replacement parts like your CPAP masks and seals, tubing, filters, etc.
To help our patients with this process, we have outlined some instructions on how to file an insurance claim on your behalf for both CPAP and BiPAP supplies.
***cpapRX can only provide you with basic instructions on how to submit reimbursement. We are not responsible for determining the procedures and policies that insurance companies follow, so the accuracy of this information can not be guaranteed.
Reimbursement is fully dependent on your insurance provider. See below for easy step by step instruction for how to obtain reimbursement for your CPAP machine and/or supplies.
Using a Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flex Savings Account (FSA) can be an effective strategy for reducing health costs, particularly known fixed costs like CPAP. Patients utilizing an HSA/FSA can deposit (or have their employer deposit) funds into the account tax-free for medical expenses. Most CPAP equipment is eligible for HSA/FSA coverage, with cpapRX you are able to use these funds towards purchases from our site.
Using your HSA account to purchase your CPAP supplies is a great idea and we would love to help you with the process. Before we do, please take a moment to familiarize yourself with your plan details and confirm that your HSA account is linked to a major credit card. A portion of your dollars can also be applied to your total order with cpapRX, which makes for a great way to save money! If you have questions about how to do this or are ready to place an order using your HSA account, email us or call us at 833-216-2727.
While Medicare covers CPAP therapy for sleep apnea, healthcare providers must follow stringent treatment guidelines. These Medicare protocols include a requirement that the PAP machine and related supplies be procured from an approved Durable Medical Equipment (DME) provider.
Medicare recipients cannot submit claims for reimbursement on their own behalf. All Medicare claims need to be billed from an equipment company that contains a Medicare provider number.
Medicaid programs are administered by state governments, with each state setting its own guidelines regarding eligibility and services. While Medicaid programs generally follow Medicare coverage guidelines for CPAP therapy, including requirements to go through approved DME provider, the specific rules differ between states and various Medicaid programs. Contact your Medicaid insurance provider for specific coverage benefits and authorization rules.
The following codes are used by insurance companies to process claims. Please use the code that is most appropriate on your claim form to ensure processing can be done in a timely manner. Codes should also correspond to each item on your invoice. Items including but no limited to CPAP batteries, bed pillows, and DC adapters are not typically covered, as they are considered luxury items.
Some insurance companies may also require you to include a code that is associated with your diagnosis. The code for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is G47.33.
Your insurance company may require information about cpapRX to process your claim. The most requested information is below:

With so many CPAP mask choices, which one is right for you? Traditional CPAP nasal masks are usually the most popular with CPAP users. Full face CPAP masks are preferred by patients who have problems with mouth breathing or leaking from the mouth. Other options include nasal interface systems (such as nasal pillows systems), and oral masks. There are pros and cons for all these options. For the best possible choice, stick with what has worked in the past but consider trying something new if you have been having issues. Either way, cpapRX is here to Simplify Your Sleep and we will make sure we help you get it right.

Some employers, and physicians, like to (or need to) track how well you are performing with your CPAP machine and therapy. Compliance data allows your physician or employer to monitor your usage and to be sure you are getting the best treatment possible. The clinical data assists the physician in making necessary changes to your treatment and is very helpful in tweaking your therapy to make sure it is right, just for you!
All CPAP masks are universal and can be used with any CPAP machine or BiPAP machine from any manufacturer. Yay!
If you happen to breathe with your mouth open and are using a nasal mask, pressure can be reduced making treatment ineffective. Full face CPAP masks allow you to breath from the nose or the mouth, while still obtaining maximum treatment. For more information, check out our blog “The Best CPAP Masks for Mouth Breathers.”
CPAP and BiPAP supplies are disposable and are meant to be replaced frequently to ensure that they are safe, and effective, for your treatment. If you are using things like masks, tubing, filters, and headgear for extended periods of time – past their suggested replacement frequency – you can jeopardize your CPAP therapy. Your mask cushions are delicate and can develop leaks, clogged filters can allow dust and pollen to be delivered into your airway, and over-stretched headgear can require extreme tightening, causing pain and leaving marks on your face.
Take a look at the recommendations for replacement frequency and consider sticking to this schedule to ensure safe and effective therapy.
Item | Replacement Frequency |
Generally, every 3-5 years, or as necessary | |
Every 3-6 months | |
Every 3 months | |
Twice per month | |
Once every 6 months | |

Mask leakage is important to fix and can be caused by a variety of issues. One thing to know is that CPAP masks are never intended to be 100% airtight and it is normal to experience just a little leaking from time to time. Before shopping for a new CPAP mask, there are a couple things you can do to help fix the issue. First, with your machine running, pull your CPAP mask away from your face and let the seal inflate fully. Next, try setting the CPAP mask back into place to see if that fixes the issue. If that doesn’t work, perhaps your CPAP mask is too tight. Try loosening the head straps to allow proper inflation of the seal. If you are trying a new mask out, please remember to allow yourself ample time to adjust to the CPAP mask. If you continue to have problems, give us a call and we’ll help you out.
