Why 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.

What does insurance usually require for CPAP?

Most plans require a prescription and a sleep apnea diagnosis, and some require prior authorization. Many Medicare Advantage plans follow Medicare's compliance rule for CPAP therapy, rent machines monthly for 13 months before you own them, and cover replacement supplies on a set schedule.

  • Prescription and diagnosis

    A prescription for CPAP and a sleep apnea diagnosis from your doctor.

  • Prior authorization on some plans

    Some plans need to approve CPAP equipment before it ships.

  • The compliance rule

    Medicare's rule, which most Medicare Advantage plans follow: use CPAP 4+ hours a night on 70% of nights during a 30-day window in the first 3 months.

  • Monthly rental, then yours

    Machines are usually rented monthly for 13 months, then you own them.

Typical resupply schedule

Masks
Every 3 months
Cushions and nasal pillows
Up to 2 a month
Disposable filters
2 a month
Tubing
Every 3 months
Headgear and water chamber
Every 6 months

Your plan's schedule may differ. See Medicare's CPAP coverage rules.

Easy Breathe handles most of this for you. We verify your benefits, request records from your doctor and submit what your plan needs.
