CPAPs work by blowing pressurized air down your airway while you sleep. This pressure holds up the walls of your airway open.
Medicare and nearly all commercial insurances have coverage for CPAP.
A CPAPs cost will very much be determined by your medical insurance. When thinking about sleep apnea treatment, its important to consider that you will need to continue to by hoses, filters, and masks for the lifetime of your CPAP machine.
Some folks sleep just fine with a CPAP. For others it is hard, but they figure it out. Still others can't tolerate a CPAP, and for those we suggest an alternate treatment, such as Oral Device. The most important part is that you treat your sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is a life threatening disease, and needs to be taken seriously.
CPAPs can treat central sleep apnea. If the CPAP is not as effective as it should be, your doctor may recommend a BiPap or an ASV machine, which are both variations of a CPAP.
There are many options for CPAP face masks. Full masks, Nasal masks, and others.
If you are having a difficult time wearing your CPAP, your doctor may recommend a different mask or trying a specialized APAP or BiPap. They may also try to change pressures of your machine.Additionally, an Oral Device can be used to potentially replace your CPAP altogether.
You will need to replace filters, hoses, and your mask on a regular basis depending on the exact model of your CPAP.
No. If a CPAP is used correctly, it is an excellent tool for treating sleep apnea, but it is not the only available tool. Oral Devices and Inspire Surgery can also be used to treat sleep apnea.
Yes! Folks sometimes use an Oral Device in combination with their CPAP so they can lower the pressure of their CPAP.
