It might seem strange that you’d need a prescription for a CPAP machine. It’s not a drug, after all. But because medical devices are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, it’s not as simple as ordering a CPAP machine online or picking one up at your local pharmacy. Medical devices fall into one of three classifications depending on several factors. CPAP machines are considered Class II medical devices, so they require a prescription. One reason is that for people who want to use their health insurance to pay for their equipment, the prescription requirement helps to ensure the purchase is valid. There are some benefits to having your insurance cover the cost of your CPAP equipment – but our customers routinely say that buying from us is both easier and less expensive than running the purchase through their insurance policy, especially once you take deductibles into account. Aside from the red tape of insurance, a CPAP prescription is necessary because the right pressure setting varies for each patient – and only a qualified physician can help determine what’s right for you. Your CPAP prescription will specify the optimum setting for your equipment, and we will ship your CPAP machine to you preset to match your doctor’s recommendation.

There are many different medical professionals who can write your CPAP machine prescription, including:

• Sleep specialists
• Psychiatrists
• Nurse practitioners and physician’s assistants
• Dentists
• Naturopaths
• Medical doctors
