Getting Started With CPAP
How Do You Get Started With CPAP Through Wise Owl?
Call us or reach out through our website. We’ll handle your paperwork — including coordinating directly with your physician if you don’t already have a prescription — verify your insurance, and match you with the right machine and mask. Setup happens in-store or virtually, wherever you are in Texas.
Do You Need A Prescription To Get Started With CPAP?
Yes — CPAP is a prescription device. If you already have one from your sleep study, send it our way. If not, let us know and we’ll work directly with your physician’s office to get it, so you’re not the one chasing down paperwork.
I'm New To CPAP — How Can I Learn More?
Start with our CPAP Videos page for a plain-language walkthrough of what to expect, or read Your First 30 Days on CPAP for a realistic look at your first few weeks. Still have questions? Call us.
Do You Have Sleep Apnea?
How Do You Know If You Have Sleep Apnea?
Start with our free STOP-Bang assessment — a quick quiz that shows your risk level. If it suggests you should look further, we offer at-home sleep testing, so in most cases you can skip the sleep lab. We’ll walk you through what your results mean.
Choosing Your Equipment
How Do You Know Which CPAP Machine Is Right For You?
It comes down to your prescribed pressure, your lifestyle, and what your insurance covers. Our team walks through this with you directly and recommends the right fit — we don’t just point you at a catalog.
What If Your Mask Doesn't Fit Right?
That’s what 2 Mask Exchanges is for — try up to two additional masks at no extra cost, with no deadline, until you find one that works. A poor-fitting mask is one of the most common reasons CPAP feels hard to stick with, and it’s one of the easiest problems to fix.
Do You Help Maintain Or Clean Your Equipment?
Yes — we offer an annual Clean & Check for a flat, reasonable cost. Drop your machine off on a scheduled morning appointment and we’ll have it ready for pickup with a full report. We deep-clean the entire unit, including grooves and crevices at-home cleaning misses, and test your blower’s output on calibrated equipment — the blower is usually the first part to fail, and this confirms your machine is actually delivering your prescribed therapy. We’ll replace filters or chambers on the spot if needed.
Do CPAP Machines Come With A Warranty?
Yes — every new CPAP includes a manufacturer warranty of 2 to 5 years, depending on the brand. We also offer extended warranty options that go beyond manufacturer coverage at a cost-effective price, if you want the extra protection.
Ongoing Support
What Kind Of Support Do You Get After You Start CPAP?
You’re automatically enrolled in Owl Watch, our ongoing follow-up program. Every 90 days, we check in by call, text, or email — your choice — to see how therapy’s going and confirm you have the supplies you need. If something’s not working, you don’t have to wait for that check-in to tell us.
How Will You Know If Your CPAP Therapy Is Actually Working?
Your machine tracks nightly data — usage time, mask seal, and your AHI (how many breathing interruptions you had per hour). We review this with you as part of Owl Watch, so you’re not left guessing. If the numbers point to a needed adjustment, we catch it and work with your physician on next steps.
What If You're Struggling To Stick With CPAP?
Talk to us before you give up. It’s usually a fixable problem — a mask that doesn’t fit, pressure that feels wrong, or dryness better humidification can solve — not a sign CPAP won’t work for you. Call us and we’ll troubleshoot directly.
Supplies & Resupply
Do You Help With CPAP Supplies, Too?
Yes — masks, tubing, filters, headgear, and everything else that needs regular replacement. We handle the insurance side too, so you’re not guessing what’s covered.
How Will You Know When It's Time To Replace Your Supplies?
You won’t have to track it. As part of Owl Watch, we monitor your resupply eligibility and reach out when you’re due — before you notice your equipment has worn out.
Delivery & Statewide/Virtual Care
How Fast Will Your Equipment Arrive, Wherever You Are In Texas?
You’ll typically receive your equipment within 3 to 5 business days of your insurance and paperwork being finalized, no matter where in Texas you are.
Do You Have To Live Near Marble Falls To Work With Wise Owl?
No. Our virtual CPAP program lets us set up, support, and resupply patients anywhere in Texas — the same one-on-one guidance, whether that’s across our counter or over a video call.
Switching CPAP Suppliers
Can You Switch Your CPAP Supplier To Wise Owl?
Yes — and it’s more common than you’d think. If you’re unhappy with your current DME, we’ll help transition your equipment and insurance information over. In most cases, you won’t need a new prescription or sleep study to make the switch.
Insurance, Medicare & Cost
Does Wise Owl Work With Medicare And Commercial Insurance?
Yes. We bill Medicare and most commercial plans directly and handle the verification and paperwork for you. If you’re on Medicare, we’ll also make sure you understand the rental-to-ownership timeline, since that’s specific to Medicare.
Will You Know Your Cost Upfront?
Yes — we review your expected out-of-pocket cost before anything ships, so there are no surprises. If insurance doesn’t cover something you need, we’ll walk you through self-pay options.
For Healthcare Providers
Are You A Healthcare Provider Interested In Referring Patients?
We’d welcome it. We handle documentation, insurance verification, and patient follow-up so your practice doesn’t have to manage those details after the referral. Visit our Refer CPAP Patients Texas page to get started.
What Makes Wise Owl Different
What Makes Wise Owl Different?

We stay involved — Owl Watch check-ins, real people on the phone, and a team that treats getting your therapy right as an ongoing job. Same experience whether you’re in our Marble Falls store or working with us virtually.
