What are the costs associated with sleep tests and appointments, and how do self-pay options work?
When considering a sleep test, it's important to understand the costs involved and the options available for payment. Here's a breakdown of what you can expect:
Costs Associated with Sleep Tests
The cost of a sleep test can vary depending on whether you use insurance or opt for self-payment. Here's a general idea of the fees involved:
- Home Sleep Test Lab: $285
- Pre-Test Telemedicine Visit: $95
- Post-Test Telemedicine Visit: $85 (if needed)
These costs are for self-pay patients who choose not to use insurance. If you have insurance, the costs may differ based on your coverage plan.
Insurance and Billing
If you have insurance, SleepTest.com offers a complimentary verification of medical benefits (VOB) once you activate your patient portal. This process typically takes 24-48 hours, and you will receive an email detailing any out-of-pocket costs before proceeding with the test.
Note that some insurance plans, like HMO and Medicaid, may be out-of-network, meaning you might need to pay cash prices if you choose to proceed with SleepTest.com.
Self-Pay Options
If you prefer not to use insurance, you can opt for the Express/Skip-to-Ship option, which allows you to skip the pre-test telemedicine visit and pay out-of-pocket. This option is straightforward and does not involve your insurance plan, meaning these fees will not count toward any deductibles or co-insurance.
