Does insurance cover CPAP in Canada?
CANADA
Assistive Device Program
In Ontario, the provincial government helps you pay for your APAP, BiPAP, or CPAP machine with funding that is available through the Assistive Devices Program. Almost everyone who has sleep apnea is eligible, and once you choose your machine, we will automatically deduct the government’s portion for you.
Other provincial funding programs
Saskatchewan – The SAIL program offers co-pay funding for CPAP machines.
Manitoba – Manitoba covers many of your CPAP needs. Co-pay funding has been introduced in Manitoba as of spring 2018.
Alberta – The Income Support (IS) program covers CPAP machines for the treatment of moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea when it is medically needed.
Limited provincial government funding for CPAP therapy is available in other provinces.
Most private insurance policies provide coverage for CPAP therapy and let you select the CPAP machine, mask, and accessories that are right for you.
Indigenous & Veterans funding
Additional government funding for CPAP supplies may be available to those who are eligible, through the Veteran Affairs Canada (VAC) and Non Insured Health Benefits (NIHB).
