Thankfully, the majority of Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO and HMO plans cover CPAP therapy supplies. So if you’re close to meeting your deductible, you may be able to acquire your CPAP device at almost no cost to you.
Anthem’s insurance plans will cover CPAP supplies that are deemed a medical necessity for OSA (obstructive sleep apnea), such as:
- PAP (positive airway pressure) Machines and Humidifiers
- Masks and Headgear
- Tubes and Filters
However, the cost of other accessories for your CPAP machine, including things like cleaning devices or wipes, batteries, or duplicate machines such as travel versions, will not be covered.
In order to prove your eligibility for coverage of your CPAP device, Anthem Blue Cross will require documentation such as relevant doctor’s notes, sleep test results, a prescription, and may include other documents, too.
