Sleep Apnea in Calgary

Sleep apnea is one of the most common chronic conditions in Canada, and Calgary residents are no exception. Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when the airway collapses during sleep, causing breathing to stop repeatedly throughout the night. Most people are unaware this is happening until a partner notices the snoring or breathing pauses, or until daytime symptoms become severe enough to prompt a doctor visit. If any of these symptoms apply to you, the Avant Respiratory sleep quiz is a useful first step. You can also read more about the condition at the sleep apnea information page. The consequences of untreated sleep apnea page covers the long-term health risks in detail.

Services Available at All Three Calgary Locations

  • Home sleep apnea testing. Complete your sleep study in your own bed using a small monitoring device.
  • CPAP therapy setup. A registered respiratory therapist will fit you to the right machine and mask at your first appointment, before your first night of therapy.
  • Mask fitting and resizing. If your current mask is leaking, uncomfortable, or no longer fits well, the team can refit you without requiring a new prescription.
  • CPAP equipment supply. All three Calgary clinics stock CPAP machines, masks, filters, tubing, and accessories. You can also order supplies online for home delivery.
  • Oxygen therapy. Home oxygen therapy setup and ongoing supply is available at all Calgary locations for patients with conditions requiring supplemental oxygen.
  • Insurance billing. Avant Respiratory works directly with most major Canadian insurers. The insurance coverage page outlines what most plans include.
  • Virtual care. Virtual care appointments are available for follow-up and ongoing support.

CPAP Machines in Calgary

All three Calgary clinics carry a full range of CPAP and APAP machines from leading manufacturers. The ResMed AirSense 11 is the current generation device and is the most commonly fitted machine across all Avant Respiratory locations. It features a guided setup assistant, cellular data connectivity on select models, and updated app integration through myAir. The AirSense 10 is also available and remains an effective option. You can compare both options in detail in the AirSense 11 vs 10 comparison guide before your appointment.

Choosing a CPAP Mask in Calgary

Getting the right mask fit at the start of therapy is one of the most important factors in long-term success. The Calgary clinics carry the full ResMed AirFit and AirTouch mask range, including nasal pillow, nasal, and full face options in multiple sizes. Your respiratory therapist will assess your breathing pattern, sleeping position, and prescription before recommending a mask style. You can read more about how each style compares in the nasal mask vs other styles guide or the best CPAP masks in Canada 2026 guide.


CPAP Alternatives in Calgary

CPAP therapy is the most effective treatment for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea, but it is not the only option. For patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea who cannot tolerate CPAP, oral appliance therapy, positional therapy, and lifestyle changes including weight loss can also reduce apnea severity. The most appropriate alternative depends on your diagnosis, severity, and anatomy. You can read a full comparison of treatment approaches in the sleep apnea treatment options guide.

Insurance Coverage for CPAP in Alberta

AHCIP, Alberta’s provincial health plan, does not typically cover CPAP machine costs. Most employer-sponsored extended health benefit plans provide coverage for the machine, mask, and ongoing supplies. Avant Respiratory works directly with most major Canadian insurers at all three Calgary locations and handles billing on your behalf. Visit the insurance coverage page or contact the team directly to get your specific benefits confirmed.
