How Much Does a CPAP Machine Cost? Full Price Breakdown by an RRT

How Much Does a CPAP Machine Cost?

CPAP machine pricing varies widely depending on whether you buy new, refurbished, or through insurance. As a Licensed Respiratory Therapist (RRT) and owner of MyRespCo โ€” a licensed DME supplier โ€” here's the complete, honest price breakdown with no sales spin.

New CPAP Machine Prices (Retail)

  • Entry-level fixed pressure CPAP: $300โ€“$500
  • Auto-adjusting CPAP (APAP) โ€” e.g. ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet: $700โ€“$900
  • ResMed AirSense 11 AutoSet (current flagship): $850โ€“$1,100
  • BiPAP machines โ€” e.g. ResMed AirCurve 10 VAuto: $1,200โ€“$1,800
  • Advanced BiPAP-ST / AVAPS: $2,500โ€“$4,000+

Refurbished CPAP Machine Prices

A properly refurbished CPAP machine from a licensed, RRT-certified DME supplier delivers identical clinical performance at 40โ€“60% below new retail. At MyRespCo:

  • Refurbished ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet: Significantly below new retail โ€” with 1-year warranty and RRT certification
  • Refurbished ResMed S9 AutoSet: Most affordable AutoSet option available
  • Refurbished ResMed AirCurve 10 VAuto BiPAP: 40โ€“60% below new BiPAP pricing

Every refurbished unit includes a 1-year mechanical warranty, new patient-contact parts, full data wipe, and Licensed Respiratory Therapist sign-off. Read the complete refurbished CPAP guide โ†’

Insurance Coverage

If you have insurance that covers DME, CPAP may be partially or fully covered โ€” typically through a 13-month rental arrangement. Your out-of-pocket cost depends on your deductible and coinsurance. After your deductible, most plans charge 20% of the allowed amount.

MyRespCo is Medicare-enrolled. For many patients, purchasing directly at our below-retail pricing is comparable or cheaper than insurance out-of-pocket costs โ€” especially with high-deductible plans. Read our full cash vs insurance analysis โ†’

CPAP Accessories โ€” Additional Costs

  • Masks: $25โ€“$180 (no prescription required)
  • Replacement cushions: $15โ€“$60 (replace every 1โ€“3 months)
  • Tubing: $10โ€“$25 (replace every 3โ€“6 months)
  • Filters: $5โ€“$15/month
  • Humidifier water chambers: $15โ€“$40 (replace every 6 months)

RT Consultation โ€” $49.99

Before spending $700+ on a new machine or committing to an insurance rental, a $49.99 RT Consultation with our Licensed Respiratory Therapist ensures you buy the right machine for your specific prescription and lifestyle โ€” not the wrong one at any price.
