Any physician (MD or DO) could "prescribe a CPAP." However, it is appropriate to have a "sleep study" performed first. Then the results will be interpreted by a Pulmonologist that specializes in Sleep Therapy. Then that person would determine the appropriate course of therapy, cpap settings, machine type, etc.
It is best to see your primary care physician first and have him refer you for sleep study and go from there.
