CPAP Supply Replacement Schedule: What Insurance Typically Allows

CPAP supplies wear out well before most people replace them — and worn supplies mean weaker seals, more leaks, and less effective therapy. Insurance typically allows more frequent replacement than people realize.

Typical replacement schedule

Medicare and many private plans generally allow: full face or nasal cushions monthly, headgear every 6 months, tubing every 3 months, and filters twice a month to monthly depending on the type — though exact allowances vary by plan, so we always confirm your specific benefits.

Why it matters

A stretched-out mask cushion or clogged filter reduces the effective pressure delivered by your machine, which can undercut the therapy's benefit even if the machine itself is working fine. Most people don't realize how much of their supply allowance is going unused each year.

We handle the reordering

We track your supply eligibility and can set up recurring replacement so you're not stuck troubleshooting a worn-out mask months after it needed replacing.
