Many people diagnosed with sleep apnea find it hard to get started on their CPAP therap. Picking a machine, getting supplies, or even just obtaining a prescription can be daunting. For some folks, it’s because they think they can’t see themselves keeping compliant. But whatever the case, getting adjusted to CPAP can feel like a big challenge.
With how fast technology moves, it’s easy to be overwhelmed when trying to 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 and stick with it.
Here are 4 tips for what to do when you’re ready for CPAP:
1. Jump start your therapy by getting your supplies through your insurance.
If you’re ready to start but just need the machine, there’s a chance your insurance company will authorize a new one. Insurance typically covers a new CPAP machine every 5 years after your first one as well.
If your machine is setup already, 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 be updated from season to season. Make sure you’re getting supplies that match your needs and can replace them as scheduled.
Your new CPAP machine could be yours for $0! Allow us to check with your insurance provider for you to find out what is covered (for free!). Click below to get started:
