CPAP and CGM supplies in California
In California, about 1 in 9 adults has diagnosed diabetes (lower than the U.S. rate of 12%), and 35.1% sleep under seven hours a night, lower than the national 36.1%. We ship insurance-billed CGM and CPAP supplies to all 58 counties.
Quick Answer
Yes. Specialty Medical Equipment ships CPAP and CGM supplies to patients throughout California and bills Medicare and many other insurance plans directly. Medicare equipment claims in California are handled by Noridian (DME Jurisdiction D). Every order starts with a benefits check, and coverage must be verified before anything ships.

How coverage works in California
Medicare: CPAP and CGM claims for California residents go to Noridian, the Medicare equipment contractor for DME Jurisdiction D. Medicare rules are the same nationwide: a CGM generally requires insulin use or a history of problematic low blood sugar, and CPAP coverage continues after the first 90 days when you show regular use. We send your prescriber the right paperwork for that contractor.
Medicaid and private plans: rules in California vary by plan, including prior approval and preferred brands. We check your exact plan before anything ships.
