The FDA says people using Phillips CPAP machines should stop using them and get a replacement. Medicare will not pay for a new CPAP. Medicare will replace CPAP machines due to the FDA recall. Medicare will replace a CPAP after five years of use and not before. Phillips says they will replace the units once they get things worked out. In a year or so.
