Does OHIP cover CPAP machines?
OHIP doesn't, but ODSP does. Any private insurance you have will also cover the machine.
If you need a machine, you'll be referred to any of the many providers in Ottawa (I'm assuming since you're with BMI). They'll take care of the paperwork for you.
Good luck! My machine was life changing. I kid you not.

I can't help you with the CPAP question, but I just wanted to let you know that there is a forum specifically for Ontario peeps which may be better for questions related to our programs and clinics :)

Ohip covers 75% of machine, you will need to over cost of mask and hoses which will total about $500 out of pocket.
