Yes. Medicare will typically cover 80% of the cost of the machine rental, as well as 80% of covered supplies(headgear, masks, filters etc). Medicare guidelines do not allow for the purchase of the machine. The remaining 20% is the responsibility of the patient or secondary insurance.

Medicaid/Medicare do cover CPAP therapy. However, the amount they cover will vary from plan to plan. Some are covered completely, some there is a deductible or copay before the costs are covered. Check with your insurance company to be sure.

Yes, Medicare will pay to repair a cpap that you own. If Medicare originally paid for the machine, getting it repaired should be no problem if the machine is less than 5 years old (if the cost to repair it is greater than the cost for a new machine, they will not pay and will require the provider to give you a new machine). If the machine is over 5 years old, they will likely pay for a new one instead of repair. If your machine was purchased prior to becoming a Medicare member, you will need documentation from your sleep study showing that you qualify under Medicare guidelines (AHI > 15, or between 5-15 with noted hypertension or excessive daytime sleepiness) before Medicare pays for repairs.

Could you show me the pillow and pillow cae and the poe used for CPAP?

These are really optional and not required for CPAP therapy use. There are several options available for cpap pillows and their cases available. Try searching for CPAP pillow in search bar of your browser/search engine. The pole being referred to is for "hose management" during CPAP therapy use. While it is helpful, again it is not required. Try searching for CPAP hose management in search bar of your browser/search engine.

Does Medicaid cover massage therapy?

At this point medicare does not cover massage therapy (part A). Some of the supplemental plans (part B and C) do cover massage therapy. You would need to check with your provider to see if they cover "massage therapy provided by a licensed massage therapist." Insurance companies do not make decisions based on type of massage but perhaps who is performing it. Sometimes physical therapists' and chiropractors' massages may be covered and a massage therapist's may not be covered. But yes it depends on which part of medicare you are talking about. Supplemental medicare plans may cover massage therapy (and deep tissue massage therapy).
