Refresh Your CPAP Supplies

The Importance of Fresh CPAP Supplies

The use of outdated supplies affects both therapy and comfort.  CPAP masks, tubing, and filters are semi-disposable items that need to be replaced from time to time.  A significant portion of patients who contact us needing help with their therapy are using outdated supplies.

Both usage and aging causes wear and tear that may not even be visible.  Despite regular cleaning, these supplies may begin to appear dirty or discolored.  This process happens gradually over time, and often goes unnoticed until it causes a secondary problem that interferes with the therapy.  Research has indicated that patients who participate in a resupply program are TWICE as likely to have continued success with CPAP therapy¹ and report sleeping better².

How Often Can CPAP Supplies Be Replaced?

Most insurances follow the same replacement schedule for CPAP supplies that Medicare uses.  This allows for patients to get a 3-month supply at once, which would include a new mask, cushions, tubing, and filters.  You can see the specific resupply schedule for each mask type in the table below.

How to Refresh Your CPAP Supplies

Midwest Sleep Diagnostics has a Wellness Checkup and Resupply Program that can contact you when you are eligible for fresh CPAP supplies.  You can choose to be contacted by email, text message, or automated phone call.  Supplies can then be ordered through an online portal, or by responses to the automated phone call.  To sign up for the program, or to order supplies manually, contact our office at (636) 227-8787.
