At Order Your Supplies, a new CPAP machine costs $699 to $819 for an auto-adjusting (APAP) model, $879 for a travel CPAP, and $1,209 to $3,019 for a BiPAP machine. Certified refurbished machines start at just $449. Most people also budget $59 to $165 for a mask, plus ongoing supplies. A valid prescription is required to buy any CPAP or BiPAP machine.
CPAP therapy is the standard first-line treatment for sleep apnea, and the machine is a long-term investment in your health. This guide breaks down exactly what a CPAP machine costs by type, what drives the price, how insurance reimbursement works, and where you can save.
How much does a CPAP machine cost by type?
The price of a CPAP machine depends mainly on the type of therapy it delivers. Here's what each type costs at Order Your Supplies:
| Machine type | Best for | New price | Refurbished price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Auto CPAP (APAP) | Most obstructive sleep apnea | $699–$819 | $449–$600 |
| Travel CPAP | Frequent travelers | $879 | — |
| BiPAP (bilevel) | Higher pressures or pressure intolerance | $1,209–$1,269 | $779–$1,080 |
| Specialty BiPAP (ST, ASV) | Central or complex sleep apnea | $2,199–$3,019 | — |
| CPAP mask | Required with every machine | $59–$165 | — |
Auto CPAP (APAP): An auto-adjusting machine automatically raises and lowers air pressure through the night based on your breathing. This is the most common choice for obstructive sleep apnea, and it's the core of our lineup — for example, the ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet ($699) and AirSense 11 AutoSet ($799).
BiPAP (bilevel): A BiPAP machine delivers a higher pressure on inhale than on exhale, which helps people who need higher pressures or find a single pressure hard to exhale against. Specialty BiPAP models (ST and ASV) treat central and complex sleep apnea and are the most expensive option.
Travel CPAP: Compact travel machines like the ResMed AirMini ($879) are built for portability rather than nightly home use, though many people use them as a lightweight primary machine too.
How much do CPAP masks and supplies cost?
Your machine is only part of the total cost. Every setup needs a mask, and CPAP is an ongoing therapy with replaceable parts.
Masks: A CPAP mask costs $59 to $165 depending on style — full face, nasal, or nasal pillow. Machines with a built-in heated humidifier and data tracking sit at the higher end of the machine price ranges above.
Ongoing supplies: Replacing CPAP supplies on schedule keeps your therapy effective and hygienic. Typical replacement costs:
- Filters: every 1–2 weeks (about $10–$30 per month)
- Tubing: every 3–6 months (about $20–$50 each)
- Mask cushions: every 1–3 months (about $20–$60 each)
- Full masks: every 6–12 months (about $59–$165 each)
- Headgear: every 6–12 months (about $27–$40 each)
Does insurance cover CPAP machines?
Order Your Supplies sells machines and supplies as cash-pay purchases — we don't bill insurance directly. Many customers still get part of their cost back by seeking out-of-network reimbursement from their own plan, or by paying with pre-tax HSA or FSA funds.
After your order ships, you can request an itemized, insurance-ready receipt that includes the item description, cost, and applicable HCPCS code, then submit it to your insurer. Our step-by-step walkthrough covers exactly how: How to get an itemized CPAP receipt for insurance reimbursement.
Reimbursement amounts vary by plan, so it's worth checking your policy's out-of-network benefits, deductible, and coverage percentage before you buy. Many plans, including Medicare, cover a portion of CPAP therapy when billed through an in-network provider — but coverage rules and required paperwork differ significantly between plans.
Are refurbished CPAP machines worth it?
For most people on a budget, a certified refurbished CPAP machine is the smartest way to cut the upfront cost — often 25–40% less than new, starting at $449. Every refurbished machine we sell is inspected, sanitized, reset to factory settings, and backed by a warranty.
This is very different from buying a used CPAP machine off an online marketplace, which carries real hygiene risks, no warranty, and no guarantee the device works or hasn't exceeded its motor life. Certified refurbished gives you the savings without those risks.
How can I save money on a CPAP machine?
- Choose certified refurbished: the single biggest saving, starting at $449 with a warranty.
- Use HSA/FSA funds: CPAP machines, masks, and supplies are eligible expenses, so you pay with pre-tax dollars.
- Seek out-of-network reimbursement: request an itemized receipt and submit it to your plan.
- Buy a bundle: pairing a machine with a mask and starter supplies usually costs less than buying each separately.
- Stay on your replacement schedule: worn cushions and filters make therapy less effective, which costs more in the long run.
Why are CPAP machines so expensive?
CPAP machines look simple, but the price reflects what goes into them:
- Regulated medical devices: CPAP and BiPAP machines are FDA-regulated Class II prescription devices, which raises manufacturing, testing, and compliance costs.
- Advanced technology: auto-adjusting pressure algorithms, heated humidifiers, quiet motors, and app-based data tracking all add cost.
- A limited supply chain: a small number of manufacturers dominate the market, and the durable medical equipment (DME) distribution chain adds margin at each step. A 2021 large-scale Philips Respironics recall tightened supply further, and prices have stayed elevated since.
The bottom line
Expect to spend roughly $449–$819 for an auto CPAP (refurbished to new) and more for a BiPAP, plus $59–$165 for a mask and ongoing supply costs. The upfront price is real, but so are the benefits — better sleep and measurable improvements in health with consistent use. Because CPAP and BiPAP machines require a prescription, have yours ready, then browse our CPAP machines and refurbished options to find the right fit for your budget.
