The Process to getting a CPAP machine…
CPAP stands for continuous positive airway pressure. CPAP machines are the most effective treatment for obstructive sleep apnea, but the process of obtaining a CPAP machine involves several steps and can be confusing. Your doctor will work with you and with a third party distributor (Prodigy Medical) to get you set up on a CPAP machine.
Verifying Insurance Coverage
The first question many people ask when they are going through the process of getting a CPAP machine is whether it will be covered by insurance. Many health care plans include coverage for durable medical equipment, although the coverage varies from plan to plan. Some policies cover a percentage, some cover the total cost and other plans may require that you have met your annual deductible. To determine your individual coverage, the best approach involves calling your insurance company.
Get a Sleep Study
Sleep studies are tests that measure how well you sleep and how your body responds to sleep problems. These tests can help your doctor find out whether you have a sleep disorder and how severe it is. If you have a sleep disorder, you will receive a prescription.
