The United Healthcare’s medical policies can be confusing when it comes to treating sleep disorders. That’s why we’ve compiled all the information you need about your CPAP insurance coverage under your current health insurance plan.

United Healthcare covers most CPAP supplies deemed a medical necessity for OSA (obstructive sleep apnea), including:

• PAP (positive airway pressure) Machines and Humidifiers

• Cleaning supplies such as Mask wipes and cleaning machines, like the SoClean 2 or Lumin CPAP Cleaner.
• Batteries
• Duplicate equipment (Travel CPAP’s)

Yes. United Healthcare requires adherence and will only cover a medically necessary PAP device beyond the first three months of therapy when PAP use is greater than or equal to 4 hours per night on 70% of nights during a consecutive 30 day period during the first three months of therapy.
