Government Spending on CPAP

Hi everyone,

I am doing a study for one of my college classes about government spending, and because my parents have sleep apnea, I am investigating Medicare funding for CPAP and sleep apnea. Does anyone know where I can find a history of Medicare spending on CPAP reimbursement or statistics on how much the industry has grown over the past 10-20 years. Any information is helpful, and thanks a lot.

Not overall what you want, but individualized and w/lowering reimbursements each year.
