CPAP Machines FAQs

What is a CPAP machine, and how does it work?

A CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine is a medical device designed to treat sleep apnea. It works by delivering a continuous and gentle stream of air pressure through a mask worn over the nose, mouth, or both. This keeps the airway open, preventing interruptions in breathing during sleep.

Who can benefit from using a CPAP machine?

CPAP machines are primarily used to treat obstructive sleep apnea, a condition where the airway becomes blocked during sleep. Individuals with symptoms like loud snoring, daytime fatigue, and interrupted breathing may benefit from using a CPAP machine.

Are there different types of CPAP machines available?

Yes, there are various types of CPAP machines to suit individual needs. Some models offer fixed pressure, while others have auto-adjusting pressure settings based on the user's breathing patterns. Additionally, some machines are compact and travel-friendly, making them convenient for those on the go.

What is the difference between APAP and CPAP?

APAP (auto-adjusting positive airway pressure) automatically adjusts air pressure based on breathing patterns, while CPAP delivers constant pressure. CPAP has a fixed setting, while APAP adapts to individual needs.

What is the difference between BiPAP and CPAP?

The main difference between CPAP and BiPAP (bilevel positive airway pressure) is how they deliver air pressure during sleep apnea treatment. CPAP provides a constant and continuous stream of air pressure to keep the airway open, which is ideal for individuals with obstructive sleep apnea.

BiPAP, on the other hand, delivers two distinct levels of air pressure: a higher level during inhalation and a lower level during exhalation. This dual-pressure system is often prescribed for individuals with more complex sleep apnea or those who have trouble exhaling against the higher CPAP pressure.

How do I choose the right CPAP machine for me?

Selecting the right CPAP machine depends on your specific requirements, prescribed pressure, and personal preferences. Our experienced customer support team can guide you through the selection process to find the most suitable option for your needs.

Do I need a prescription to purchase a CPAP machine?

Yes, you need a valid prescription to purchase a CPAP machine. If you don't already have one through your doctor, don't worry. After you place your order, we will connect you with our third-party independent network of board-certified sleep providers for a complimentary consultation to obtain your prescription.

How much does a CPAP machine cost?

The average cost of a CPAP machine is $800 and the average cost of a BiPAP machine is $1,350. The price of a CPAP machine can vary based on factors such as the brand, model, features, and included accessories. At Sleep Doctor, you'll discover a diverse selection of CPAP machines available at different price points, catering to various budgets and needs.

Does insurance cover CPAP machines?

It's important to note that some insurance plans may cover part or all of the cost of a CPAP machine for individuals diagnosed with sleep apnea. If you have insurance coverage, be sure to check with your provider about the available benefits and any specific requirements for CPAP machine reimbursement.

At this time, Sleep Doctor does not accept insurance payments. However, we can provide the invoices necessary for you to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.

Where can I buy a CPAP machine?
