Contact the home health company you received your CPAP machine from, they should be able to give you an answer to this immediately. Don’t put it off…get some sleep:)

This machine should be covered under DME (durable medical equipment) under Part B Medicare. If you have a private insurance company besides Medicare you should call them up and find out the best way to order. Usually Medicare pay 80% of Medicare approved Items while some private insurers pay more. Try the link i provided above and you shoul find all the specific answers
