What is the purpose of the resupply program? 

Our resupply program is a convenient and reliable way to make sure that you always have the equipment that you need to keep your PAP machine working optimally. It works something like this: you place your resupply order online, and we ship your supplies straight to your house in about two weeks!

Why is it important to replace my PAP equipment? 

Man putting on PAP maskYour CPAP’s accessory equipment is a lot like other frequently used health products, such as your toothbrush or a razor: it deteriorates, ceases to function optimally, and can get germy and unsanitary. Just like you wouldn’t use the same toothbrush for months on end, it’s important to replace your CPAP equipment to make sure that your machine is as clean, effective, and comfortable as possible. There are three main reasons you should regularly replace your PAP equipment: 

  1. Hygiene. PAP equipment, such as tubing and masks, can get germy over time. Replace regularly to keep your machine sanitary. 
  2. Effectiveness. It is vital that your equipment be replaced regularly so that it functions properly. For instance, as masks age, they can crack or stretch, causing irritation and leaks. 
  3. Comfort. Old equipment, especially masks and cushions, can irritate your face and lead to lack of compliance.

How often should I replace my PAP equipment?  

Certain supplies need be replaced anywhere from every two weeks to every six months. Many insurance plans follow these Medicare guidelines

Generally, PAP supplies should be ordered every 90 days. If you sign up for our program, we will send you an automated email every 90 days reminding you to place your order. Your insurance may have a different allowance for replacement supplies. That's why we will verify your coverage before processing your order. Unless you request otherwise, we will send you the maximum number of supplies allowed by your insurance plan.

How does the resupply program work? 

Here is the basic process for receiving your supplies: 

  1. You will receive an email or phone call during the month (usually every 90 days) that you are eligible for supplies to see if you are ready for your next shipment. 
  2. If you're not ready for supplies at that time, let us know and we won't contact you again until the next month.
  3. Once you confirm your order, your insurance will be verified, and authorization requested (if needed) before shipping.
  4. You will receive an email with your tracking number once your order has shipped.
  5. You can expect to receive your supplies on your doorstep within 2 weeks if we don't contact you for more information.
