Private home sleep testing, virtual CPAP consultations, personalized equipment, remote monitoring and insurance support.
SleepEZ Home Health provides private home sleep testing and clinically supported virtual CPAP therapy to eligible patients throughout Nova Scotia.
Whether you are beginning the diagnostic process, already have a CPAP prescription or need help becoming comfortable with therapy, our respiratory therapy team can guide you from testing through long-term treatment.
Successful CPAP therapy involves more than ordering a machine and having it delivered to your home.
Patients may need support with testing, prescriptions, insurance preapproval, machine selection, mask fitting, compliance, troubleshooting and long-term replacement supplies.
SleepEZ combines the convenience of an online provider with the ongoing support of an experienced respiratory therapy team.
You focus on becoming comfortable with treatment. We help manage the clinical and administrative process.
Our team has more than a decade of professional experience in respiratory care, CPAP therapy and sleep-disordered breathing.
We understand that successful therapy depends on education, mask fitting, comfort, monitoring, insurer documentation and ongoing clinical follow-up.
We have assisted thousands of patients in navigating the practical and clinical steps required to begin therapy and become comfortable using CPAP consistently.
Our involvement does not end when your machine is shipped.
Home sleep apnea testing allows eligible patients to complete diagnostic testing in their usual sleeping environment.
SleepEZ home sleep tests are offered as a private, pay-per-test service.
This private SleepEZ pathway is separate from sleep-disorder testing or physician services arranged through Nova Scotia Health.
Your testing fee includes the applicable equipment, test support, data collection and physician interpretation included in the selected testing program.
The appropriate test depends on your symptoms, medical history and the type of sleep-disordered breathing being investigated.
Some patients may require an in-laboratory polysomnogram rather than a home sleep test.
Explore Home Sleep TestingWhen testing confirms that CPAP therapy is required, an eligible SleepEZ home sleep testing fee may be credited toward the final price of an eligible CPAP package purchased through SleepEZ.
Depending on your private-insurance plan, the credited amount may form part of the eligible CPAP claim.
This may allow eligible patients to recover some or all of the testing cost through insurance reimbursement.
Complete an eligible private-pay home sleep test.
The sleep study is interpreted and reviewed.
Begin the eligible SleepEZ CPAP program when prescribed.
A qualifying amount is credited toward the CPAP package.
The claim is submitted electronically when supported, or claim documentation is provided.
Your insurer determines the reimbursement amount.
Different machines provide different levels of humidification, pressure performance, remote connectivity, portability, accessibility and data reporting.
During your consultation, we review your prescription, sleep-study findings, symptoms, lifestyle and comfort preferences.
There is no single CPAP machine that is right for every patient. Our goal is to recommend equipment based on what you actually need.
An accessible option for patients who prefer a large touchscreen, straightforward controls and effective everyday humidification.
A performance-focused bedside machine for patients who may require higher pressures or prioritize therapy capability over compact portability.
A balanced combination of humidification, therapy capability and accessible controls for everyday treatment.
An effective CPAP machine still depends on a comfortable and stable mask.
A poorly selected mask can contribute to leakage, dryness, skin irritation, pressure marks, eye irritation, frequent awakenings and removal of the mask during sleep.
Following your virtual consultation and assessment, our team may identify up to three suitable mask options to guide the trial process.
Compatible CPAP and BiPAP devices can transmit therapy information for remote clinical review.
In many cases, therapy information may begin becoming available after the first night of use.
This allows our team to identify concerns earlier instead of waiting weeks or months for an in-person follow-up.
Not every machine supports the same remote capabilities. Data availability and remote adjustments depend on the device, connectivity, prescription and clinical appropriateness.
Our team reviews your experience alongside the available therapy data.
When clinically appropriate and permitted by the prescription, we may optimize comfort settings, assess pressure response or prepare recommendations for physician review.
Some insurance plans require documentation showing that the prescribed machine is being used consistently and that therapy is effective.
Our monitoring program helps patients work toward applicable compliance requirements while focusing on comfort and sustainable treatment.
Insurance requirements vary. SleepEZ cannot guarantee that a patient will meet a particular insurer’s criteria, but our team helps identify and address barriers as early as possible.
SleepEZ participates in TELUS Health eClaims for eligible claims and participating benefit plans.
CPAP or BiPAP equipment may require preapproval, a prescription, diagnostic testing and supporting medical documentation before purchase.
Eligibility depends on the patient’s specific plan, available benefit amount, equipment eligibility, replacement schedule, coordination of benefits and insurer requirements.
Some public, restricted or government-sponsored plans may not use the same electronic-claim pathway. Patients remain responsible for amounts not paid by their insurer.
Discuss Your Insurance CoverageUniversal CPAP equipment coverage is not generally provided as a standard Nova Scotia MSI benefit.
Many patients therefore rely on private insurance, employer benefits, federal benefit programs or other qualifying assistance pathways.
Private extended-health benefits remain an important source of CPAP coverage for many Nova Scotia patients.
SleepEZ can help organize testing, prescription, equipment estimates, invoices, compliance and physician documentation available within our scope.
Availability, eligibility, documentation requirements and equipment supply vary. The final coverage decision is made by the applicable insurer, program or benefit administrator.
Requirements vary by insurer and individual benefit plan.
We recommend confirming coverage before finalizing equipment.
Our team can help identify commonly requested documentation and submit an eligible electronic claim when supported.
CPAP therapy should remain connected to the prescribing physician.
When clinically meaningful therapy or prescription-related changes occur, SleepEZ can prepare a report for the physician.
This helps close the communication loop between the patient, respiratory therapy provider and physician.
This program is designed for patients who want more guidance than a traditional online equipment purchase.
Patients who want private home sleep testing.
Patients who already have a sleep report or prescription.
People who want a guided CPAP setup from home.
Patients who live far from a physical CPAP clinic.
People who need help selecting a machine or mask.
Patients who have struggled with CPAP in the past.
People who want remote monitoring and optimization.
Patients who need insurance-documentation support.
People who want physician communication included.
Patients who prefer ongoing clinical support.
Patients who already have a prescription, understand their therapy requirements and do not need a clinically managed trial may prefer a self-directed online CPAP bundle.
The self-directed pathway may not include the same level of mask trialing, remote optimization, insurance assistance, physician reporting or ongoing respiratory follow-up.
Browse CPAP BundlesPublic sleep-disorder services may be available through Nova Scotia Health when the appropriate referral and clinical requirements are met.
SleepEZ offers a separate private pay-per-test home sleep testing pathway for eligible patients.

Private insurance, federal programs and other qualifying assistance pathways may provide coverage.
Refurbished-equipment programs may be available to qualifying Nova Scotia residents.

Many parts can be completed virtually, including consultation, machine selection, mask fitting, education, monitoring and follow-up.
Some patients may still require an in-person assessment or laboratory sleep study.
Compatible machines may begin transmitting data after the first night.
Availability depends on the machine, connection and manufacturer platform.
Certain compatible devices allow remote setting adjustments.

In some cases, we may provide consultation, mask-fitting or therapy-review services.

BiPAP services may be available with an appropriate prescription and supporting diagnostic information.
Some forms of bilevel therapy require laboratory testing or additional physician oversight.
CPAP therapy should not feel like an equipment package arriving at your door with no guidance.
SleepEZ helps coordinate private sleep testing, equipment selection, mask trialing, remote monitoring, insurance assistance and long-term respiratory support.
Coverage, direct billing and reimbursement are determined by the patient’s insurer, government program and individual benefit plan. SleepEZ cannot guarantee claim approval, funding eligibility, reimbursement amount or insurer payment.
Patients remain responsible for understanding their benefit plan and for any amount not paid by their insurer.
Virtual home sleep testing and CPAP services are not appropriate for every patient. Individuals with significant cardiopulmonary disease, suspected central sleep apnea, hypoventilation, complex sleep-disordered breathing, severe oxygen abnormalities or other medical concerns may require physician assessment or in-laboratory polysomnography.
CPAP and BiPAP therapy must follow an appropriate prescription and applicable professional requirements.
