Whether you’ve already received a diagnosis or are just beginning the evaluation process, we’re here to explain your options and make the process as stress-free as possible.
Is Sleep Apnea Treatment Covered by Insurance?
Understanding Medical vs. Dental Benefits
Obstructive sleep apnea is considered a medical condition, which means treatment is typically billed through your medical insurance, not your dental plan. Services like CPAP therapy, diagnostic sleep studies, and oral appliance therapy usually fall under your medical benefits.
We treat sleep apnea with FDA-approved oral appliances, which many insurance plans recognize as a valid therapy.

What’s Typically Covered?
Common Benefits for Sleep Apnea Patients
Insurance coverage varies from plan to plan, but most medical policies include benefits such as:
- Initial consultation and clinical exam
- Custom oral appliance design and fitting
- Follow-up visits for adjustments and long-term success
- Required documentation and coordination with your physician
Some plans require a sleep study or referral to unlock full coverage. Fortunately, our team understands those requirements and can help you meet them with confidence.
