How Medical Insurance Works

Medical insurance policies vary, but certain fundamental points apply across most plans:

  • Sleep Studies and Treatments: Many medical insurance plans cover sleep studies and treatments for sleep apnea. However, the extent of coverage may differ. It's important to verify if in-home or in-lab sleep tests, CPAP machines, oral appliance therapy, or other treatments are included. Some plans may require pre-authorization from your insurance provider.
  • Deductibles: A deductible is the amount you're responsible for paying out of pocket before your insurance coverage begins. Understanding your deductible helps you anticipate initial costs associated with sleep apnea treatment.
  • Copays or Coinsurance: Copays are fixed fees for specific services, while coinsurance involves paying a percentage of the service cost. Most insurance plans utilize one or the other. Knowing your copay or coinsurance structure allows you to budget for ongoing treatment expenses.

If you're uncertain about your insurance coverage, try accessing your provider's online patient portal or consult with our knowledgeable team for clarity and guidance.

Medical vs. Dental Insurance

While dental health is crucial, dental insurance typically does not cover sleep apnea treatment. Dental insurance primarily addresses oral health issues like gum disease and cavities.

Medical insurance is better equipped to manage overall health concerns, including sleep disorders like sleep apnea. Knowing the difference between medical and dental insurance will help you explore the appropriate avenues for addressing your sleep apnea treatment needs.
