Don’t have health insurance?
Did you just find out that CPAP isn’t covered by your insurance?
Are you experiencing financial hardship and need a CPAP machine or supplies?
Need a backup device or a second device for traveling?
Here’s a list of organizations that provide low-cost or free CPAP, APAP and bi-level machines and supplies so you can get the sleep you need.
As with any purchase of CPAP equipment, a prescription is required, even if the there is no charge.
American Sleep Apnea Association
www.sleepapnea.org
ASAA has a CPAP Assistance Program (CAP) that has provided over 4,000 CPAP equipment packages to patients in need over the years. Their mission is to help as many patients as possible get the treatment that they need. They believe that no one should go untreated due to financial hardship or other issues. The program is made possible from donations from manufacturers and other nonprofit organizations. They have machines and masks available on a limited basis and includes a 30 day return policy.
What does it cost?
CPAP: $100 program fee (does not require any proof of financial hardship). ASAA can provide you with a CPAP or APAP, new tubing, filter and carrying case (does not include humidifier). Depending on inventory, they may also supply a mask. Click here to complete their online application.
Bilevel/BiPAP: Bi-Level PAPs may be available, depending on inventory (as of the publishing of this post in May 2016, ASAA is in need of bi-level donations).
Supplies: Prices and availability vary. Discounts for purchase or multiple items. Here is the patient mask application.

Posted on March 07, 2022My father was diagnosed with sleep apnea about two years ago. He followed the usual path of getting hooked up to a ventilating machine which, for him, was a bit of hell on earth. It wasn’t until he stumbled upon this natural remedy ( sleep-apnea.1cure.info ) after trying it, it helped him to reverse his sleep-apnea and keep him off that machine, it was worth trying, really.

Posted on January 11, 2017I don’t have a prescription. But I do know that I have sleep apnea. Would you still be able to help me?
Julia Rodriguez
Posted on January 11, 2017Hi Curtis. A medical equipment provider will need to have a prescription before dispensing equipment, even if you’re not using insurance (who will also require a prescription). The American Sleep Apnea Association may be able to help you find a doctor in your area who can see you and right a prescription. If you’re in SoCal, we can help with that too. Good luck!

Posted on March 19, 2020Hi Julia,
I have no insurance but a free clinic wanted me to go through a sleep test. I called local hospital and they are asking $3,700. can you please guide me what can I do in this situation?
Thanks
CHRISTY KINSEY
Posted on January 24, 2017My husband had a machine years ago after being diagnosed with sleep apnea. When we lost our insurance the medical equipment company came and took the machine. How can we go about getting one ? We live in Panama city Florida. Another sleep study is out odbthe question as he has a share of cost. Please direct me in the right direction. I am worried. He’s been without it for over a year.
Julia Rodriguez
Posted on February 01, 2017Hi Christy. You may be able to get a new machine from one of the organizations listed above. Since it’s been 9 years since his last sleep study, his pressure requirements may have changed he may need a new sleep study which is another expense. You can investigate an auto-titrating CPAP which will adjust the pressure throughout the night. If he also needs a physician to get a new prescription, you should bring that up when you speak with the organizations about getting a new machine. They should be able to offer advice there too. Good luck!

My name is Tonya I have Sleep Apnea, I do have my compliance certificate from my doctor, my problem is my insurance will cover my apnea supplies but I have to first purchase them. I am low income and they are expensive. There is no local suppliers that take my insurance. Can I still get help from one of these organizations?
Julia Rodriguez
Posted on February 01, 2017Hi Tonya. Can you email me with your location and the type of insurance you have? I can try to locate a provider that can help you. jrodriguez@sleepdr.com

Julia Rodriguez
Posted on February 02, 2017Hi Curtis. Have you tried contacting Breathe of California or the American Sleep Apnea Association? Both should have options for free or low-cost equipment for you.
Phil
Posted on February 06, 2017Just about a year ago i had a doctors appt. And found i have very high blood pressure.
My doctors reccomended i get checked for sleep apnea. I was told i have EXTREMELY bad sleep apnea. I never even got to go back after recieving the call from the doctor because Soon after the diagnosis i lost my job and health coverage. I am extremely broke and have no medical coverage. The diagnosis was throhgh kaiser my former health care provider. I never got the chance to get any documentation.
Options? Please help. I am choking myself aeake 29-30 times a night
Julia Rodriguez
Posted on February 06, 2017Hi Phil. Can you contact Kaiser to try to get a hold of your sleep study report? It may help to show your diagnosis when you contact the organizations listed here. You will still require a prescription from a physician, so you will need to find a physician or clinic who will see you. Once you have the documentation, you should be able to find free or very low-cost equipment. Let me know if there’s any other info I can provide to help. -Julia

Christopher
Posted on March 19, 2017I was just diagnosed with sleep apnea and found out that my insurance does not cover the CPAP machine. I am a graduate student that doesn’t work full time. I barely have enough money to cover essential bills. Typically work a lot in the summer and use that money to float during the semester. Based on how tired I have been feeling, I need to figure out something. Any suggestions before I start to contact these organizations?
Julia Rodriguez
Posted on March 20, 2017Hi Christopher. I’m glad to hear you’re trying to figure things out and start using CPAP. I suggest you start with Breathe of CA, even if you’re not in CA. They can provide free or low-cost machines and supplies. Next, try the American Sleep Apnea association. Good luck.
Marcus Blakemore
Posted on March 26, 2017I had a sleep study back in 2014 and my test showed I had a very severe case of sleep apnea. I do have insurance but in order for me to get a machine I have to pay a deductible in order for me to be able to get the process rolling. Well it’s 3 years later and I’m still unable to get my machine. I would greatly appreciate any recommendations or leads because I want to be able to enjoy the quality of life.
Julia Rodriguez
Posted on March 27, 2017Hi Marcus. If you have a sleep study and prescription, you should be able to find assistance from one of the organizations listed in this post. You can start with Breathe and the Sleep Apnea Association. Good luck!
Chandra L Compton
Posted on April 20, 2017My husband has a BiPap machine with humidifier. His hose has a hole but we can’t afford to replace it as our deductible isn’t met, and the supplies are so expensive. We haven’t had a new mask or hose in a long while for his BiPap. We live in Martinsville, VA. Is there anywhere that could help?
I had a sleep study 8/2015. I also have Mild Obstructive Sleep Apnea / Hyponea with Moderate to Severe Periodic Limb Movement Disorder of Sleep. I have gone through all the recommendations on the sleep study because my sleep apnea was so mild they felt insurance wouldn’t cover a trial or CPAP, but I continue to have fatigue with the addition of weight gain / blood pressure going wonky, and my doctor suggested I needed a CPAP trial but I can’t afford another sleep study with a CPAP trial or a full cost CPAP. Our local hospital doesn’t have any assistance for anyone with insurance – I just got that e-mail today. We are low income. I’m trying to keep my driver’s license, and my doctor seems to think this is an important step. Any ideas?
Julia Rodriguez
Posted on April 20, 2017Hi Chandra. The organizations listed above should be able to help, even if you are out of state. Good luck.
Dave Davis
Posted on May 02, 2017I was just informed today that my insurance doesn’t cover medical equipment. I have what doc considers one the the more extreme cases of sleep apnea. She said that my oxygen drops to 80 at night and I quit breathing an astronomical amount of times. I don’t remember the number to be honest. I guess if I don’t get a machine for help I could lose my drivers license. How can I get help?
Julia Rodriguez
Posted on May 03, 2017Please check out the resources listed at the top of this post. If you already have a prescription from your doctor, they should be able to help you find a free or low cost solution. Good luck!

Posted on September 03, 2017Hello Julia. Thank you for these resources, They are a lot of help! I am in a bit of a situation because I was just recently diagnosed with sleep apnea but flew back overseas a day later because I am currently studying abroad. My doctor told me to get a cpap machine but my insurance will not cover it and I do not have a lot of extra money to buy one because I am a student. Do you think one of these organizations would be able to help? Thanks

Harry Walker
Posted on October 08, 2017I’m Mr. Walker from Memphis, TN with OSA since 2010. And I feel the Government Officials in all US States needs to make some form of Funds Available for people like me, who has fallen on hard times. When you’re unemployed that means there’s no money being made, therefore how can anyone like me, be told to reach out to just 1 or 2 Local agencies who recordes donated cpap machines to sale. The government can make funds and laws to help Drug Addicts, but something as serious that you can die from in your sleep, there’s no variety of local agencies within Memphis TN or TN Government that; help funds for the Poor Common Folks and Less Fortunate Hard Working Folks….this sorry to hear your hardship is really sadden. When Doctors and Local Clinics needs to be more Passionate and Working Together….to help Save Lives verses…saying they can’t help because you have no insurance or money…..
Harry Walker
Posted on October 08, 2017I’m just tired of reading posts about anyone suffering for Sleep Apnea as this supposed to be something very vital to a person’s health. I’m tired of voting for people to be in these political seats that suppose to help the Poor And Common Folks, maintain in life when you need medical aid, when you encounter hardship times. As I tried to say the Government makes funds to help Drug Addicts…but they feel Sleep Apnea is not worthy to fund or make it where local clinics of Memphis TN and elsewhere to help care for those, who suffer from Sleep Apnea.

Posted on October 18, 2017Hi My husband has sleep apnea and epilepsy. He has lost his job due to the apnea making him have many more seizures due to lack of oxygen to the brain as well as severe fatigue.He requested a sleep study in August, but it is the end of October and we still have no CPAP unit. Tests done,Dr. visits to neuro and sleep specialist done also, but insurance company seems to not care that he is getting worse, now having chest pain also.Am hoping that he doesn’t die before he gets approved.Have called to tell Dr.s and insurance company that he is getting worsening symptoms,and no sleep for days on end,as well as more seizures but all are saying just wait,nothing we can do.How do we get a unit without him being able to work? We can’t afford one right now without his job income. Has been having very bad apnea symptoms as well as seizures since July, and hasn’t worked since then. Please advise as to what we can do.We have Medicaid in Ma.

Posted on October 20, 2017My husband has sleep apnea, he was tested in April. We are on one income right now and cant afford a machine. Do you know what he can do? He has a high insurance plan so he would have to pay out of pocket before ins will do anything.

He had Medicaid and Medicare until 2 weeks ago when they decided to shut everything off and claim he hasn’t had any type of coverage since 2005. so he is now fighting to try to get it all straightened out. it has been one thing after another for him but anyway he had he supplies ordered and then all this happen so he has now been without supplies for awhile due to this mess. He only receives 650. is SSI which is something else they mess with on regular basis but I am trying to find out if there are any companies that will assist him he getting him supplies until he can get all this straight. He is already having to pay for his diabetic medication so he has no money to be able to get the supplies he needs for his machine. Please any information is appreciated

Posted on November 27, 2017Hi, I recently had a sleep study and was diagnosed with sleep apnea and given a prescription for the cpap device, supplies, etc. I do not have insurance and do not make that much money.

Posted on December 22, 2017Hello.
I’m writing this in regards to my daughter who only has catastrophic insurance but is a long time sufferer of a sleep disorder she just can’t afford to find out which one because of cost.
It’s gotten so bad that she sleeps more than she is up. She has all the symptoms and with two children, a 100% disabled vet and a job to boot I am petrified for her health.
She lives in Lexington, Ky.
Can you give me any advice or direction to follow. This is getting desperate.

Wendy
Posted on February 22, 2018My dh, who is a young 43yo, was recently diagnosed with “severe” sleep apnea. I suspected he had some based on his gasping for air during the night and major fatigue each day but was not expecting it to be that severe. He is not overweight at all and actually quite active. We have 4 children. He works for a non-profit, and they do not offer very good medical insurance. He was told he needs an apap machine and the cost would be about $1000 out-of-pocket. Any ideas for lessening this?

Posted on February 28, 2018Hi Julia
I have been diagnosed with sleep apnea, in 2015. I was able to get a CPAP machine at that time. In August 2017, Hurricane Harvey devastated the region where I live, I lost all belongings home, car, medications, and my CPAP device, along with my job, I am still not working trying to get my home in a state of livable accommodations. According to my physician I am not eligible for a new device, or prescription, unless I pay full price out of pocket. I have tried a couple of the references that you have posted above, however are there anymore resources that you are aware of that might be able to help me.
Thank you for your assistance

David Ferrier
Posted on July 26, 2018Hi my name is Dave and I’ve been without my cpap for atleast 7 years. My job requires a D.O.T physical that my company pays for. I am the only one working in my house right now and I’m just barely paying the bills so I can’t even afford health insurance. The company that my company uses to do these D.O.T physicals on us is telling me I need to get a sleep study done in order to keep my job. The questions I have is 1) Is there a place in the state of Florida that will work with me on getting a sleep study done? I’ve tried using the internet and still haven’t found any answers. 2) What is the price for one of those autotitrating cpap machines? I’m thinking if there’s a way I could get one of those would I still need the sleep study or will I have to have one done anyways? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Posted on October 02, 2018Hello, I was recently diagnosed with sleep apnea after having a sleep study. I have to use a bi-level (bipap) machine as I have pretty bad COPD and the constant forced air choked me terribly. I gave my prescription to a local medical supply store and because my out of pocket and deductible have not been met, it will cost me $257 down and $257 a month for the next 9 months, for a total of $2570. This is money we just don’t have. My husband works, we have insurance, but it’s not enough…we live paycheck to paycheck. Is there possibly help for someone like me?

Posted on October 26, 2018I have a Resmed Aircurve 10 ASV (a top of the line unit that treats central apnea) with about a months worth of hours on it that I’m in process of replacing with a low tier unit (my apna is obstructive and doesn’t require the ASV). Once I’m sure I can afford to let it go I’m willing to offer it for a fraction of what they sell for online.

Posted on December 03, 2018Hi Julia,
I have short term insurance . I am low income and was told I have sleep apnea. I live in Orlando Florida . I was diagnosed by Tampa General Hospital with a form of sleep apnea . The only thing is my short term insurance does not cover sleep studies or equipment . Is there a way to get a CPAP machine or assistance?

Posted on January 17, 2019I have Insurance but Im supposed to also pay $30 a month for my cpap supplies. Im on a limited income and can’t afford another monthly bill. I was told that my sleepapnea most likely caused my afib. I can’t afford to not use a cpap machine every night. How can I get supplies for free?

Posted on April 30, 2019I had a sleep test and went for results on April 28 2019 I am not breathing 34 times per hour. She suggested the bipap but I have no insurance no job have filed for disability for shoulder problems in both shoulders. But still waiting for a hearing date I filed 1 year ago. The only reason I was able to have the sleep test is I had a 100% charity through our local Ballad Health but unfortunately it ended April 30 2019. So I have no income no insurance. Just saw this online so I thought I may as well try to get help getting a machine when I had my sleep test they let me keep the mask.

Posted on June 21, 2019I have very severe copd with hypoxia and co2 retention along with diastolic heart failure and chronic failure. I was prescribed a Bipap machine while living with daughter in Georgia and had acute respiratory failure. My condition became worse and daughter does not want to be my caregiver so I was forced to move in with friends in North Dakota and am being cared for by hospice. The Bipap machine I currently have hospice does not allow and wants me to turn it back into the supplier and get a basic Bipap machine because they say mine is too aggressive of a therapy for their rules due to it would keep breathing for me if I stopped on my own so they consider my Bipap a ventilator and they do not allow them. I am also having trouble getting referred for sleep study, the dr in Georgia used the abg gas draw and some other criteria to prescribe my Bipap and the drs in North Dakota do not want to fool with it especially because I’m on hospice. I am too sick to lose hospice care and cannot do without the Bipap because of the co2 retention and hypoxia. Also hospice uses a different company for their medical equipment than the one I have my Bipap through. This is one big mess and I can’t figure out how to fix it. I have been trying to locate a used low cost machine online and just buy one but my limited income from Sadi can only budget $500. And I don’t really understand what kind of machine hospice will allow except it cannot be a ventilator but must assist in removing co2 from lungs and bring my 02 saturation up. Please any help or assistance would be so appreciated!

Posted on December 22, 2019Good afternoon,
How would I go about ordering replacement supplies without insurance, and how much would the items be for the machine that I have? I can’t afford to spend too much. It’s been over 2 years since I’ve had supplies delivered but of course, I had insurance at that time. I have the RedMed AirSense 10 with heated tubing. I also use the Dreamwear Nasal Mask. I’m in need of the mask, tubing, and filters. I clean my supplies but as I mentioned, these items are over 2 years old. I’m now dealing with a sinus infection which I’m sure is contributed to the equipment.

Posted on January 14, 2020My CPAP is old and supplies are old… I have acute type 3 sleep apnea, I do not have insurance that covers this. I was told that I needed a prescription to get stuff. When i went to the location to get a copy of that they told me that I’d have to be retested before I could get another prescription. But when I got that done they said it doesn’t expire. I cant afford another test. What can I do?

Posted on May 26, 2020My 8 year old suffers with obstructive sleep apnea. She had surgery for tonsils and adenoids removed, and it was a fail. She was on a cpap machine, then peachcare dropped us, and took back the machine. We can’t afford health insurance. An her memory and others things are being affected from her apnea. How do I get help for my child?

When i went to the location to get a copy of that they told me that I’d have to be retested before I could get another prescription.
My Doctor told me that he can get the needed prescription to get supplies. But now I’m not sure where to get them. I am on disability supplemental income and work very part time because of back and neck injuries from a car wreck that was the cause of finding out that I had sleep apnea.
My CPAP is old also but still works. Without it I wake up every few minutes all night long very suddenly and gasping for air. I cannot live without it: literally.

Posted on January 23, 2021Hi. I was diagnosed way back in 2010 when I was still in the Philippines with Obstructive Sleep Apnea and have been using a CPAP machine since then. When I moved to California I did not bring with me my machine since it’s already not working well. Right now, I currently need one badly because of my sleeping disorders and made me always weak due to lack of sleep. I have no insurance and I only have a copy of the prescription from my doctor dated in 2010. I would greatly appreciate it if I can get help in obtaining 1 for myself. God bless us all!

Gary James Holland
Posted on September 15, 2021Hello Julia,
I am writing on behalf of my brother who has a Philips Dreamstation ASV bipap machine. He lives in Florida in a trailer park and has zero resources. He is now 70 years old suffering from COPD, and has several stents for cardiovascular flow problems.
Philips that suggested he wait several months to get his machine repaired, he can not go overnight without the use of his machine. His machine was paid by insurance and he is not eligible for another for two more years.
I came across your article and you have done more research and have made it available to everyone. Certainly more than Philips has done.
Could you suggest some resources where my brother could get some help in obtaining either a new machine or replacement machine.
Thanks in advance for your help and support.
Regards,
Gary

Posted on November 29, 2021Hello. I have been diagnosed with obstructive and central sleep apnea. Although I have insurance that covers 80%, they will only order from Apria Health and my part is $80 and their part is $400 for 13 months. I am currently paying $943 per month for health insurance through Cobra. I asked them what happens if I get a job and they do not offer Kaiser. Their answer was, my part will be $480 per month for the remainder if I don’t have Kaiser. I currently have an ASV loaner from the sleep lab and they have already written a prescription for an ASV. Can you help me?

I appreciate your consideration. I am seeking assistance to obtain a machine, and I was told the machine’s name is Resmed.
Thank you so much.

Posted on July 14, 2022There are a few places you can go to get a good deal on your CPAP machine and supplies, but it’s important to know what you’re getting yourself into.
The two most common places where you can get a good deal on CPAP machines are eBay and Craigslist.
The problem with these options is that they’re both high-risk.
You don’t know what condition your machine will be in when it arrives, and there’s no guarantee that the person you buy it from will even have it.
