CPAP Insurance Coverage For Online PurchasesUpdated 7 months ago
Read Time: : 1 minute 53 seconds
Sleep apnea is a prevalent condition that affects individuals of all ages, and the cost of CPAP therapy can be substantial. Fortunately, many insurance providers offer coverage for CPAP devices and associated equipment for individuals diagnosed with sleep apnea after undergoing a sleep study. Insurance companies like Sun Life Financial, Manulife Financial, and Blue Cross are familiar with CPAP therapy and typically provide replacement supplies on an annual basis. The usual replacement schedule for insurance billing includes a new CPAP mask, standard or heated tubing, and filters every six months. Some insurance providers, such as The Great West, may cover replacement supplies after three months of the initial CPAP machine purchase. However, the coverage for a replacement CPAP unit varies among different insurance providers.
If you are unsure whether your insurance covers CPAP supplies purchased online, our team can assist you in obtaining a quote to submit to your benefits provider. This allows for pre-determining the approval of your claim and confirming the extent of coverage and covered items. It's important to note that SleepEh does not directly bill insurance; you will need to submit the invoice for reimbursement of your CPAP expenses after purchase. It is advisable to check with your insurance provider regarding their reimbursement process.
To successfully submit a claim, your invoice should include the company name, address, and clear itemized costs. Your insurance provider will also require your doctor's prescription on file to verify that you have been prescribed CPAP therapy. While we can assist you in obtaining reimbursement, please note that we cannot determine your insurance coverage or policy specifics.
When purchasing CPAP supplies online, it is recommended to buy from a Canadian company, as some websites may not ship to Canada due to CPAP devices being regulated as medical equipment. Additionally, benefit providers may only accept receipts for purchases made within Canada and in Canadian currency. Reimbursement processing time can vary but may take up to two weeks or longer, depending on your insurance provider.
At SleepEh, we offer a wide range of CPAP supplies and sleep therapy products available for online purchase. We deliver supplies across Canada, providing convenience and accessibility.
