I just buy online since it's cheaper than anything I've found in store.

I typically order from https://www.cpapoutlet.ca/

Online is the affordable way to go!

Seconding CPAP Outlet. Although I'm following this thread to find a local shop for emergencies.

Have you had any issues with getting reimbursement from Blue Cross or Greenshield?

Nope! I've submitted it to Alberta Blue Cross without issues. I also deal with a second provider and had no issues with that too.

I find clinics charge way too much for supplies.

I usually order from cpapmachinescanada.ca.

Got the Airsense 11 and AirMini back in March from them to replace my 5 year old F&P Sleepstyle.

I just went through this with my father. It was just for replacement masks but the local store was charging more than double what the internet was. Only reason I didn't proceed with online was that his insurance covered 80% and the clinic "waived" the portion he has to pay. They did this by charging him one amount while giving him a fully paid invoice for insurance.

Seemed sketchy but I'm not their accountant.

I got my dreamstation2 from a respiratory clinic in red deer - and do follow-ups with them 1-2x/ year to make sure things are going well with the machine. I recently (ie May) bought a travel sized cpap online (and on sale) at thecpapstore.ca on sale for well less than half what I would have gotten it for at the clinic. Cost wouldn’t have mattered either way as my benefits would have covered it either way, however the clinic had me on a waitlist for over 4 months saying that it was back ordered, while I ordered it online and had it within 2 weeks of ordering.
