Check with your insurance company to see what kind of machine and accessories will be covered.機械には2つのタイプがあります。1つは、吸入と呼気に同じ空気圧を供給するものと、呼気中の空気圧を下げるバイレベルマシンです。 Some insurers will not cover a bilevel machine until you prove that the basic machine does not work for you.

Find a home health care agency or medical-equipment dealer that supplies CPAP machines, and visit their premises. Their staff can show you the options available, based on your prescription and specific needs.

Consider renting a CPAP.一部のマシンはオンラインで販売されていますが、時には他の場所よりも低価格で販売されていますが、マシンを購入する前に試用版を実行する方が良いことがよくあります。 Renting the CPAP for a time gives you the chance to make sure it meets all your needs.

Ask about accessories and added features. Do you travel a lot? Then you will want a machine that is easily portable. Is your environment overly dry? Consider a machine that also humidifies the air, preventing a scratchy throat and airway.
