See if your plan may cover youWhy are Medicare Advantage HMO plans tricky for CPAP?
Medicare Advantage HMO plans usually require you to use suppliers in the plan's network, and some require a referral from your primary care doctor. That's why many members are steered to in-network equipment suppliers. Easy Breathe now accepts select Medicare Advantage HMO plans, so you may be able to choose us instead.
Coverage depends on your specific plan, and payment for suppliers outside an HMO's network varies from plan to plan. Our free benefits check looks up your plan live and tells you in 90 seconds.
