How It Works

Introduction

Medicare Authorized CPAP Providers accept Medicare assignment. This means they submit a claim to Medicare and are paid based on their standard allowable rate for CPAP equipment.

If you are a Medicare beneficiary with diagnosed Sleep Apnea and have not received supplies in the last 180 days, then you can choose from a wide selection of CPAP Supplies including CPAP Masks, Humidifiers, Filters and Tubing that will be delivered to your door!

You may receive these benefits without any changes to your existing Medicare benefits.
