Investing in Your Sleep Infographic
 
One of the biggest concerns when it comes to sleep studies is whether or not a persons insurance plan will cover the cost of a sleep study And this is a perfectly reasonable concern because a lot of health services and procedures can be quite costly including sleep studies
We recently published an article detailing how much a sleep study costs and gave our base rates for services The prices listed were those that an individual without insurance would have to pay or the cost to insure that we are not in network with These base prices are often not a good reflection of what a patient will actually pay for the study
To follow up on that article we wanted to clear the air a little further on how health insurance works when it comes to sleep studies And while its nearly impossible to write out exactly what one can expect from their insurance companies we were able to come up with a few generalized tips and guidelines to follow when figuring out whether or not your sleep study will be covered by your insurance
Are Sleep Studies Covered by Insurance
Does insurance cover sleep studies The short answer here is YES sleep studies are covered by almost all insurances However some insurance plans have different rules regarding sleep studies than others
For instance some insurance plans will require that you have a Home Sleep Test HST before they will cover an in lab test PSG As HSTs are able to accurately diagnose 75 of patients with sleep apnea that has been properly screened by a physician it often isnt necessary for them to order the more expensive albeit more accurate PSG study
A good nights sleep is just as important as healthy food and regular exercise Did you know that you spend nearly one third of your life sleeping So you better be good at it
Good sleep is imperative for better health If you fall short of sleep your energy during the day productivity emotional balance and weight all get affected
