CPAP and BiPAP Supplies

Have you ever spoken with your doctor about sleep apnea? It's a disease that affects a broad range of people, and can have serious consequences if gone untreated. There are several factors that can indicate signs and symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea.

We have a team of respiratory therapists ready to teach you about sleep apnea and the correct usage of your CPAP or BiPAP devices. We will work with our patients and their physicians to ensure the patient is comfortable in their mask and comfortable with operating and maintaining the device.

One of the biggest issues facing physicians and providers in today's CPAP marketplace is insurance compliance requirements. Basically, many insurance companies require proof that the patient is using their CPAP or BiPAP device. We've found that if a patient doesn't have a comfortable mask or training on proper usage, they will give up on using it. This can result in a patient's insurance no longer covering their CPAP or BiPAP supplies. The end result usually means the patient no longer has the means to treat their disease. At The Diabetic Shoppe we dedicate ourselves to making sure the masks are as comfortable as possible and that the patients are fully educated in proper CPAP use in order to promote compliance.

We have a full range of CPAP and BiPAP machines and masks from Respironics and Resmed. Please give us a call to ask about our obstructive sleep apnea therapy devices. Our staff is waiting for your call.

We have 24 hour customer support for all CPAP and BiPAP devices. Simply call 888-571-3533. If it is after business hours, press 6 when prompted and you can speak to a CPAP and BiPAP specialist or leave a message and your call will be returned promptly at any time.
