FAQ
Common Questions
-
Will insurance cover my oral appliance for sleep apnea?Most medical insurance companies provide coverage for Oral Appliance Therapy. Major insurance companies like Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare, Aetna, Humana, Cigna and Medicare have policies that outline the criteria they require for coverage. Once you provide your medical insurance information to our team, we'll check with your insurance company regarding your specific coverage. Each insurance plan is different, and your total out-of-pocket costs will be determined by your co-pay, co-insurance and/or deductible. Once we know you have coverage, we start a pre-approval process known as pre-certification or pre-determination. This gives the insurance the opportunity to review your case for approval.
-
What if my insurance denies coverage, or what if I don’t have insurance?Our expert billing team will do all they can to build a strong case for coverage of your treatment. In the event that your insurance will not cover oral appliance therapy, or if you do not have insurance, we will work with you to make care affordable. We offer 0% financing here, deferred interest payment plans through CareCredit, and offer cash discounts.
-
Do you offer financing?Yes! We offer a variety of interest free and deferred interest options.
-
When will my oral appliance be ready?As a general rule, we will have your oral appliance ready for delivery within 2-3 weeks.
-
Will the oral appliance work for me?We adhere to the parameters established by the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine for the treatment of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. We evaluate our patients on a regular basis for the first few months after they begin oral appliance therapy. We monitor subjective symptoms such as a decrease in snoring and/or feeling more rested during the day. Once the patient has adapted to their oral appliance and is feeling better, we refer the patient for a follow up sleep test in order to determine the efficacy of treatment. The patient's physician will review the results of the sleep test with the patient and determine if the oral appliance alone is sufficient to treat the patient's sleep related breathing disorder. If for some reason it is not, we have alternative treatment options that we may present to the patient. As with any medical procedure, there are no guarantees; however, we are fully committed to doing everything within our power to make oral appliance therapy a successful treatment option for our patients.
