Sleep Apnea Treatment Basics
Do I need a referral?
Some people prefer to speak with their primary care physician first, but you don’t need a referral to book a sleep apnea consultation with us.
What are the main types of treatment?
In most cases, people with sleep apnea can be treated using either a sleep apnea appliance or a special breathing apparatus called a CPAP machine. In rare cases, treatment involves surgery.
How is at-home monitoring different from clinical testing?
At-home sleep apnea monitoring doesn’t collect as much data as a lab test, but is still effective (up to 91%) at accurately identifying sleep apnea while also being significantly more affordable.
Does insurance cover sleep apnea monitoring and treatment?
In many cases, insurance covers some or even all costs related to sleep apnea. If you’re thinking of exploring sleep apnea treatment, you’ll want to talk to your insurance provider to see what coverage you’re eligible for.
Put sleep apnea to bed for good.
