Sleep medicine: CPAP referrals. Live sample.

Where Medicare's CPAP prescribers concentrate.

About 46,306 physicians referred a Medicare patient for a CPAP machine (HCPCS E0601) in the most recent public release. That activity drove 4,173,602 service lines and $151m in visible Medicare Part B FFS spend across 55 states (a fraction of the multi-payer CPAP total). The map shows where the prescribers are concentrated; the state drilldown shows the top 10 in each state with physician names redacted on this public preview.

Buyer note: the figures below capture Medicare Part B fee-for-service only. The multi-payer market (Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, commercial) is materially larger; this view is a directional signal of where prescribers and facilities concentrate, not a market-size claim.

About this dataset

Methodology & scope.

Source

CMS Medicare DMEPOS by Referring Provider and HCPCS, most recent public release. HCPCS E0601 (Continuous positive airway pressure device). One row per referring physician.

Unit on the map

Referring physicians, not suppliers. This map shows the physicians who referred a Medicare patient for a CPAP machine; the supplier side (which manufacturer the patient ultimately received, and from which DME company) is in a separate file and not joined here. A full data engagement layers the supplier-side cut on request. Medicare bills CPAPs as monthly rentals, so service counts are rental-month aggregates rather than unit sales.

Scope

Medicare Part B fee-for-service only. Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, and commercial-payer utilization are not included. The full multi-payer CPAP market is materially larger than what is shown here.
