Sleep Health

What to Expect

Let’s Get Started!

Once you have been diagnosed with a sleep disorder, AdaptHealth works to make the process as easy as possible.

We will carefully review all documents to ensure they meet the necessary standards set forth by your insurance company.
We will submit any required authorizations to your insurance company before you receive your new PAP machine.

Your physician sends us:

  • Prescription with your PAP pressure settings
  • Physician notes
  • Sleep study
  • Insurance information
  • Demographics

Prior to your appointment

Purchase Distilled Water

  • Distilled water should be used in your PAP machine to keep the humidifier chamber clean and working well
  • Distilled water prevents mineral build up, hinders bacteria growth, and makes sure the air you breathe is clean and will not irritate your lungs
  • Distilled water can be purchased from your local grocery store or retailer

Virtual Mask Fitting

  • If you were sent a text to complete a virtual mask fit, please ensure that it is completed so we can fit you with the best PAP mask based on your facial features and sleeping patterns
  • Please arrive a few minutes early for your appointment, if possible
