Details
If you've been diagnosed with sleep apnea (usually via a sleep study), your CPAP machine is fully HSA-eligible. This includes the machine itself, masks, tubing, filters, humidifier chambers, and replacement parts. BiPAP and APAP machines also qualify. Sleep apnea affects ~30 million Americans, so this is one of the more commonly used HSA expenses for durable medical equipment.
What to do next
Requires a diagnosis of sleep apnea (typically from a sleep study).
