You can see a sleep doctor and get prescribed for an Autopap machine. You can get a second hand online much cheaper this way. A sleep doctor can help you figure out which is the right machine and do periodic downloads to make any pressure adjustments.

I recommend that you talk to the practice manager at your local sleep center. They may be able to offer you a payment plan. You also can get cpap from a commercial vendor who will work out a payment plan with you.

If you are still undiagnosed with Obstructive Sleep Apnea then you could see a sleep specialist about a home study followed by a home titration to get started. You could then rent CPAP equipment and masks to start the process with folow up if any problems arise.

If you have no insurance to pay for the diagnostic studies for sleep apnea and for CPAP, I suggest you contact local hospitals who often operate clinics for the uninsured. If you have been diagnosed with sleep apnea and just need a CPAP, I understand that some Durable Medical Equipment companies have older used models on hand and may sell them very cheaply.
