The cost of your CPAP machine can vary depending on the type of machine and other aspects of your prescription. If you have medical insurance, your CPAP cost can be partially or fully covered, as most insurance plans will cover any mask or machine that you require.
When should I contact my private insurance?
Once you think you have sleep apnea, check with your insurance company to find out what type of coverage you get for CPAP.
However, it is essential that you focus on the machine, mask, and accessories which best meet your therapy and comfort needs. We will encourage you to try different options in order to find the solution that works for your therapy needs and your budget.

Assistive Device Program
In Ontario, the provincial government helps you pay for your APAP, BiPAP, or CPAP machine with funding that is available through the Assistive Devices Program. Almost everyone who has sleep apnea is eligible, and once you choose your machine, we will automatically deduct the government’s portion for you.
Other provincial funding programs
- Saskatchewan – The SAIL program offers co-pay funding for CPAP machines.
- Manitoba – Manitoba covers many of your CPAP needs. Co-pay funding has been introduced in Manitoba as of spring 2018.
- Alberta – The Income Support (IS) program covers CPAP machines for the treatment of moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea when it is medically needed.
