Insurance & Medicare for Sleep Apnea – Las Vegas, NV
Your Quick Guide to Sleep Apnea & Insurance
One of the first questions our patients usually ask is, “Will my insurance cover this?” In the medical world, sleep apnea treatment is a little tough to categorize, as sleep apnea is a medical problem that is diagnosed by a sleep doctor and often treated by a sleep dentist. So, how is it covered? Can you use your medical insurance, dental insurance, or neither? What if you’re on Medicare? Thankfully, the team at iSleepSolutions is able to provide the answers you need in this short guide.
Understanding How Insurance Works
Most sleep apnea treatments, including CPAP, oral appliances, and even surgery, are typically covered by medical insurance, which means you can focus on your health rather than worrying about unexpected costs. Because oral appliance therapy is designed to treat a medical condition (not a dental one), it falls under medical insurance coverage rather than dental insurance. Navigating insurance can sometimes feel overwhelming, but you don’t need to stress; our experienced team has been working with medical insurance claims for years. We’ll take care of the details, guide you step by step, and make sure you understand your options so you can feel confident knowing you’re getting the care you need.
What Does My Insurance Cover?
Medical insurance, including Medicare, can often be used to help cover the cost of sleep apnea treatment and any follow-up appointments, and our office proudly works with most PPO insurance plans, Medicare, and Tricare.
