Medicare Coverage

Insurance questions shouldn’t stand between you and the care you deserve. At Better Sleep Mid-Ohio Valley in Parkersburg, WV, sleep apnea and TMJ treatment is frequently covered by Medicare and major medical insurance.

Here's what Medicare patients should know about coverage, documentation, and what to expect.

Medical, Not Dental, Coverage

Treatment for obstructive sleep apnea and temporomandibular joint disorders often falls under medical insurance rather than dental insurance. These conditions affect your systemic health, airway, and well-being.

How Medicare Covers Oral Appliances

For people with obstructive sleep apnea who can't tolerate or prefer not to use CPAP, Medicare often helps cover oral appliance therapy.

Custom appliances keep your airway open by gently supporting your jaw. Because they serve a medical function, Medicare typically covers them when specific diagnostic criteria are met. We handle documentation and work with sleep specialists to establish medical necessity.
