Insurance Coverage for Oral Appliances

Do insurance companies cover oral appliance therapy

Yes. Most medical insurance companies cover oral appliance therapy for treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. Most companies do not have coverage for snoring only. Your benefit plan is a contract between you and your insurance company. The specifics of your plan are best answered by calling the customer service number listed on your card. Please be aware, We DO NOT take Medicaid

Do medical insurance companies have providers (dentists) in the network for oral appliance therapy for sleep apnea?

No. Most medical insurance companies do not have in-network providers (dentists).

Yes. We are a private pay, fee for service office.  However, we will do all we can to assist you in getting reimbursement from your health insurance carrier.

How much will my insurance company cover for this treatment?
