Do insurance companies cover oral appliance therapy?
Yes. Most medical insurance companies cover oral appliance therapy for treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. Typically, over 90% of patients will have coverage for this treatment. However, these companies generally do not cover treatment for snoring only. A patient must have a diagnosis of OSA from a sleep physician verified by a polysomnogram (overnight sleep study). It is also helpful to have a letter from the physician stating that CPAP was tried and not tolerated.
