With proper maintenance a CPAP machine will last for up to 5 years (and possibly longer), but other aspects of the CPAP set-up will need to be replaced much more frequently. CPAP masks, especially, are designed to be disposable and replaceable after a period of about 3 months. The gentle materials that masks are made of (primarily silicone) are great for being non-irritating to human skin, but they break down easily and lose effectiveness relatively quickly. Regular mask cleaning and proper care can increase the life span of a CPAP mask.

Below is an example of a typical insurance replacement schedule. For many insurance plans, a CPAP user will be able to get new equipment after the set period of time has transpired. This is just one example of a typical supply replacement schedule, so your insurance policy may differ. Please contact Bill My Health Insurance to find out how often your plan allows for supply replacement.
