Understanding Sleep Apnea Products and Prescriptions

Are you suffering from sleep apnea and looking for products to help alleviate your symptoms? It’s important to know that some sleep apnea products require a prescription, while others do not. Knowing what products require a prescription can save you time and money. In this blog post, we’ll break down which sleep apnea products require a prescription and how to obtain one.

As mentioned in the introduction, some sleep apnea products require a prescription, while others do not. Products such as filters, tubes, and mask parts don’t require a prescription and can be ordered online or in-store. However, if you need to order CPAP machines, masks or nebulizer compressors, you will need a prescription.

To obtain a prescription, make an appointment with your healthcare professional for an assessment. Your physician, their assistants, nurse practitioner, dentist or naturopathic physician can write a CPAP prescription for you. Once you have your prescription, you can submit it to us by phone, email or in-store for pickup or delivery.

If you’re unsure about what products require a prescription or have any other questions, give us a call. Our respiratory technicians have the knowledge and expertise to answer all your sleep apnea-related questions.

It’s important to note that having a prescription for sleep apnea products is not only required by law but it also ensures that you are receiving the correct products for your needs. A prescription provides information on what type of mask and machine is best suited for you based on your breathing and pressure requirements.

Additionally, having a prescription can help save you money. With a prescription, you can claim the cost of your sleep apnea products as a medical expense on your income tax returns, making them more affordable. Without a prescription, you may not be able to claim the cost of your sleep apnea products as a medical expense.

In conclusion, if you need to order sleep apnea products such as CPAP machines or masks, you will need a prescription. To obtain a prescription, schedule an appointment with your healthcare professional for an assessment. Once you have your prescription, you can order your sleep apnea products through us for pickup or delivery.
