Medicare Notice
GoCPAP.com sells CPAP equipment to our customers on a cash-pay basis. We do not have a working relationship with any government-based or private insurance programs, or with any social benefit programs. Assignment is not accepted. GoCPAP.com does not maintain a Medicare number and is not a Medicare provider. It's important to understand that a purchase made on GoCPAP.com will not be reimbursed by Medicare.
What This Means for You
If you're a Medicare beneficiary, this notice matters before you place an order. Because GoCPAP.com isn't a Medicare-enrolled supplier, Medicare will not reimburse purchases made through our site, regardless of your diagnosis or coverage otherwise. If you need your CPAP equipment covered through Medicare, you'll need to work with a Medicare-enrolled durable medical equipment (DME) supplier instead.
If you have private insurance rather than Medicare, this notice doesn't necessarily rule out reimbursement — many private insurance plans do allow you to submit a claim for out-of-pocket reimbursement even when purchasing from a cash-pay retailer like GoCPAP. See our How to Bill Insurance guide for step-by-step instructions on filing that kind of claim, including the billing codes you'll likely need.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get my GoCPAP purchase reimbursed by Medicare?
No. GoCPAP.com is not a Medicare provider and does not maintain a Medicare number, so purchases made through our site are not eligible for Medicare reimbursement.
Can I still submit a claim to my private insurance?
Many private insurance plans allow you to submit a claim for out-of-pocket reimbursement, even when purchasing from a cash-pay retailer. Coverage varies by plan, so check with your insurer directly, and see our How to Bill Insurance guide for the general process.
What does "assignment is not accepted" mean?
It means GoCPAP.com does not bill Medicare (or accept a Medicare-negotiated payment) on your behalf the way an enrolled Medicare DME supplier would. You pay for your order directly, and any reimbursement pursuit is between you and your insurer, not GoCPAP.
Where should I go if I need Medicare-covered CPAP equipment?
You'll need to work with a durable medical equipment (DME) supplier that's enrolled as a Medicare provider. Your prescribing physician or sleep center can typically help direct you to one.
Does this notice apply to all products on GoCPAP.com?
Yes. This cash-pay, non-Medicare-provider status applies to all purchases made through GoCPAP.com, regardless of item type.
