Do you need a CPAP machine? SleepyheadCENTRAL is happy to report that the American Sleep Apnea Association now has a new program set aside for people who need CPAP.
Called the CAP Program, it provides qualified patients with a PAP delivery device as prescribed plus a mask, tubing, filters and carrying case.
A CAP Program application includes a $100 application fee paid by the applicant to help the ASAA defray the costs of shipping and and application processing. Applicants who do not qualify will have their application fee refunded. More information and the CAP Program application can be found here.
