Question 1

Can you give me a cost estimate before I schedule?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We verify your insurance coverage and provide an estimate of your out-of-pocket cost before scheduling. This typically takes 24-48 hours. Call us at 214-308-1525 with your insurance information, and we'll give you an accurate estimate for YOUR specific plan and deductible status.

Question 2

What if I don't have insurance?

Accepted Answer

We offer self-pay options for patients without insurance or with high-deductible plans. Our team can discuss self-pay rates when you call. We believe cost should never be a barrier to diagnosing a potentially life-threatening condition like sleep apnea. Sleep studies may qualify for HSA/FSA payment if you have those accounts.

Question 3

Why can't you just post the price on your website?

Accepted Answer

Because YOUR price depends on YOUR insurance plan, whether you've met your deductible, and what type of study is medically appropriate. Posting a generic range would be misleading—some patients pay $0 while others may have higher out-of-pocket costs depending on their plan. We'd rather give you an accurate estimate for your specific situation than post a number that might not apply to you.

Question 4

Do you accept my insurance?

Accepted Answer

We're in-network with most major carriers including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, United Healthcare, Cigna, Humana, and Medicare. If you have a different plan, we can verify coverage when you call. Being in-network means significantly lower out-of-pocket costs compared to out-of-network providers.

Question 5

What if my insurance denies coverage?

Accepted Answer

Insurance denials are rare for medically necessary sleep studies, but if it happens, we can appeal the decision with supporting medical documentation. Most denials are overturned on appeal. If your plan ultimately doesn't cover testing, we can discuss self-pay options.

Question 6

Does insurance cover home sleep tests and in-lab studies the same way?

Accepted Answer

Not always. Coverage varies by plan. Some plans prefer home testing first (lower cost), while others cover in-lab studies at the same rate. We'll verify which test your plan covers best and recommend the most appropriate study for your clinical situation. In many cases, in-lab studies are well-covered and provide more comprehensive data.

Question 7

How do I find out MY specific cost?

Accepted Answer

Call us at 214-308-1525 or text SLEEP to our office. Have your insurance card ready. We'll verify your coverage and give you a personalized cost estimate within 24-48 hours—no obligation to schedule. You'll know your exact out-of-pocket cost before making any decisions.

Question 8

Can I use my HSA or FSA to pay for a sleep study?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sleep studies are qualified medical expenses for Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA). This allows you to use pre-tax dollars for your out-of-pocket costs. If you have an HSA/FSA card, we can process payment directly. This can save you 20-30% compared to paying with after-tax income.

Question 9

Is the cost worth it if I just snore and feel fine?

Accepted Answer

If you snore and 'feel fine,' a sleep study could save your life. Many patients with severe sleep apnea don't realize they're oxygen-deprived at night—sleep apnea increases your risk of heart attack, stroke, and sudden cardiac death by 2-3x. The cost of a sleep study ($500-2000) is far less than the cost of a heart attack ($150,000+), not to mention the irreversible health damage. Early diagnosis and treatment can add years to your life.

Question 10

Will I need multiple sleep studies?

Accepted Answer

Most patients need only one diagnostic sleep study. However, if you start treatment (like CPAP or oral appliance therapy), your provider may recommend a follow-up study after 3-6 months to verify the treatment is working effectively. Follow-up studies are also typically covered by insurance when medically necessary. We use multi-night home testing to reduce the need for repeat studies.

Question 11

What happens after I get my cost estimate?

Accepted Answer

Once you receive your personalized cost estimate, you can decide whether to proceed with scheduling. There's no pressure—you'll have all the information you need to make an informed decision. If you choose to schedule, we'll coordinate your sleep study and ensure all insurance authorization is complete before your appointment. We provide detailed upfront estimates, though final costs may vary based on how your insurance processes the claim. You're responsible for your plan's patient responsibility portion (deductible, copay, or coinsurance).

Test Type	What It Measures	Insurance Coverage	Time to Results
