CPAP machine costs range from $700 to $1800 depending on the brand and whether or not they are auto titrating or can only be set at a fixed pressure. Some websites like www.cpapman.com have cheaper prices at times.

The cost of CPAP varies widely with insurances carriers and which option you use to procure the CPAP, either purchase or rental from a Durable Medical Equipment (DME) company. The cheapest way is to rent the equipment for an initial charge for set up and then a monthly copay usually less than $120. This would include periodic replacement of masks and tubing.
