Buying a CPAP may seem simple, but there are a few important steps to follow!
You must go through the process outlined below, as these steps are essential for purchasing your CPAP device.
The 3 Steps to Getting a CPAP
Pass a Sleep Test
The first step is to undergo a sleep apnea screening test. The results will provide crucial information about the type and severity of your sleep apnea. This test can be prescribed by your family doctor, a walk-in physician, a pulmonologist, or a specialized nurse.
There are two types of sleep tests: one conducted in a sleep lab and another that can be done at home. Your symptoms will help guide your doctor in determining the most appropriate test for you.
Obtain a Prescription
Your test results will be analyzed by a sleep specialist and then interpreted by a pulmonologist. The results will then be sent to your doctor.
If your test confirms sleep apnea and your doctor or pulmonologist recommends CPAP therapy, you will receive a prescription allowing you to purchase a CPAP device from a specialized clinic.
