How much is a CPAP machine?
The price of a CPAP machine depends on your medical supply store, which model you choose, and whether it’s new or refurbished.
Depending on the machine's features, you can find a CPAP machine anywhere from $500-1,000 or more. Auto CPAP machines may cost up to $600 because of more advanced technology. Auto CPAPs adjust the pressure based on airway resistance while you sleep.
BiPAP, which stands for bilevel positive airway pressure, delivers two different pressures, one during inhalation and the other during exhalation. CPAP stands for continuous positive airway pressure and delivers one consistent pressure during inspiration and expiration.
Your healthcare team must deem the machine medically necessary to qualify for a CPAP. In most cases, physicians order a sleep study to diagnose sleep apnea or sleep-disordered breathing. A sleep study can confirm your need for a CPAP machine.
