Getting started with CPAP, step by step

Just diagnosed, no machine yet

Your doctor found sleep apnea and wants you on CPAP. Here's what happens from here.

1. 1

   Tell us about your coverage

   Enroll online in about 10 minutes. We check your Medicare or insurance plan before anything ships.

2. 2

   We get the paperwork from your doctor

   With your permission, we request the order, sleep test and visit notes your plan asks for.

3. 3

   Your machine and mask arrive

   Once your plan's requirements are met, we ship to your door with setup help.

4. 4

   Your 12-week trial

   Medicare looks for use of at least 4 hours a night on 70% of nights in a 30-day stretch, and a follow-up visit with your doctor between days 31 and 91. Many private plans have similar checks.

5. 5

   Ongoing supplies

   After that, masks, cushions, tubing and filters are replaced on your plan's schedule. We remind you before each one.
