How to Obtain Replacement CPAP or Sleep Apnea Supplies
- Jan 11, 2023
To obtain new or replacement continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) supplies, you may contact the Mayo Clinic Store where you obtained your device or through our mail order department.
Medicare or your insurance company may require documentation demonstrating compliance for replacement sleep apnea supplies. You can call your insurance provider regarding your specific coverage criteria.

Why should you obtain replacement CPAP supplies regularly?
· Masks get brittle and dirty from continued use.
· Bacteria will build up inside the tubing and mask.
· If you are ill while using your sleep apnea device, you will need to get new supplies once you are feeling better; viruses are known to stay alive in moist and confined areas for several weeks.
· Disposable supplies are not intended to be used indefinitely.
· Oils from your skin will cause the mask to lose elasticity, which you will compensate for by over tightening the straps; this may ultimately result in your facial skin breaking down.
· Mask leaks will cause a loss of pressure and you will lose the benefits of your sleep apnea therapy.
· Your skin may break down from continued use of a dirty mask.
