How To Return To Your CPAP Therapy

Many people find they stop their CPAP therapy at some point, whether due to a broken machine, a change in weight, or some other life-adjusting event. With how fast technology moves, it’s easy to be overwhelmed when trying to re-integrate into using a CPAP. Fear not, for we’ve compiled a list of the most important steps to help you start your CPAP therapy again and stick with it.

Tip #1

Get new supplies through insurance.

If you had your CPAP for a long time, there’s a chance your insurance company will authorize a new one. Insurance typically covers a new CPAP machine every 5 years.

If your machine is newer but it’s been a few months, then you’ll still need new supplies, like a fresh mask, tube, and water chamber. These need regular replacing, and are pivotal to you enjoying your CPAP therapy. Newly designed masks are announced every year, and the best option for your needs may have changed since you stopped therapy. Make sure you’re getting supplies that match your needs and can replace them as scheduled.

Are your supplies due for a replacement? Check out our standard insurance replacement schedule.

Tip #3

Make sure you have a prescription handy.

No matter the circumstance, you’ll need a prescription to get a new machine. The good news is that you don’t need a new sleep study to start therapy again, and you can even get your prescription renewed online!

Instead of booking an appointment and waiting weeks for your doctor to authorize restarting sleep therapy, you can take advantage of our CPAP Prescription Renewal Program, or CPAPRx. Our CPAPRx allows you to get a prescription:

  • Without seeing the doctor or taking a sleep study
  • From the comfort of your own home
