One of the first questions we hear at uNITE Sleep Centers is, "Will my insurance cover this?" And the answer is usually yes.
Sleep studies are considered medically necessary when ordered by a licensed provider. That means most insurance plans, including Medicare and many employer-sponsored policies, will cover testing when you meet the clinical criteria.
Here's what you need to know.
What Insurance Typically Covers
• In-lab overnight sleep studies (polysomnography)
• At-home sleep apnea tests using devices like WatchPAT
• Physician review and interpretation of results
• Follow-up visits to your referring provider
You may still be responsible for your deductible or copay, depending on your specific plan.
What We Handle for You
At uNITE, we verify your benefits before your appointment is scheduled. That way, you're never caught off guard by surprise charges.
We:
• Confirm coverage with your insurance company
• Inform you of any expected out-of-pocket costs
• Submit the claim on your behalf after testing
Our team handles both the paperwork and patient education, so you know exactly what to expect.
Medicare and DOT-Specific Coverage
We work with Medicare and understand the documentation requirements needed for DOT compliance. If you're a CDL driver or over age 65, our process is tailored to help you meet medical guidelines quickly.
