Should I rent or purchase a BiPAP machine in India?

Bipap Machine

A BiPAP machine has been prescribed to you by your doctor. This is where the next question arises, whether it is better to rent one first or to buy it directly.
It is a decision whose results are literally money or die – in India BiPAP machine is priced between 35,000 and 15,000. And clinically, the false alarm can result in early therapy abandonment even before it can have a chance to take effect.

This guide provides you with a point-blank response, a straight answer using your diagnosis, your budget, and the real rental rates of BreatheNest.

Why This Decision is Important to a Greater Degree

It is always evident that between 30 and 40 percent of patients quit the use of CPAP or BiPAP in the first 1 to 3 months – either due to improper fit of the mask, discomfort of the pressure, or improper settings. At that stage, the financial and emotional investment of giving up therapy is high in case you have invested 70,000 on a machine.
The leasing initially eliminates such pressure. It will provide you with time to find the right therapy to use with your doctor and before you spend.

When You Should Rent

You are new to BiPAP therapy. The initial 30 days is the time when the pressure levels are fine-tuned and mask comfort is determined. Before your doctor finalises your prescription, he or she must examine compliance data provided by the machine. Do not spend 50,000-150,000 till that review occurs.
Your condition is short-term. Recovery of post-COVID, pneumonia, or post-surgery breathing usually clears in 4-12 weeks. Buying is senseless in the case of a temporary need.

You have not yet discovered the correct mask. The most prevalent reason patients abandon the therapy is the mask, but not the machine.

You have been released out of hospital and your prescription might alter. Oxygen requirements and pressure settings can change weekly should you be discharging home after an ICU or step-down ward. Leasing makes it easy to upgrade or change.

When You Should Buy

Your diagnosis is corroborated and chronic. Long term BiPAP will be required to be used by COPD patients with repeated hospital admissions due to exacerbations, to patients with Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome, or to patients with neuromuscular problems such as ALS or muscular dystrophy. A successful 1-month rental trial means that it is time to purchase, both financially and clinically.
You have concluded your rental trial successfully. When you had your compliance data checked by your doctor, your pressure levels are set, and your mask fits well to your head, then you are now ready to purchase. You are quite aware which machine suits you.

You travel frequently. Rental machines are limited with traveling. You have complete flexibility through ownership.
DME purchase is covered by your insurance. Indian corporate health policies have many of its policies covering CPAP and BiPAP machine in India as part of Durable Medical Equipment under their policies. When your does, it is always better to purchase it since most insurers do not cover rental expenses.

Is BiPAP applicable in the case of sleep apnea?

Yes – CPAP pressures are too large to comfort, or sleep apnea has co-morbid COPD (overlap syndrome), physicians order BiPAP. The exhalation pressure (EPAP) is lower and the breathing out against the airflow is much easier which contributes greatly to compliance.

The Bottom Line

Rent initially when you are new to treatment, your diagnosis is not long term, or when your settings have not been established. Shop when your doctor tells you that the treatment is effective, your parameters are fixed, and your mask is not uncomfortable, or when your hire is nearing the 612 month breakeven.
