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
Contact your Dr. He should be able to tell you.
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:)
