Filing for Insurance
If you are going to file for insurance to cover the costs of the OASYS Oral Nasal Airway System®, coverage for treatment of obstructive sleep apnea is provided under your medical insurance carrier. Therefore it is critical that you file for medical insurance not dental insurance.
Usually oral appliances fall under the same category as DME, durable medical equipment and prostheses. If this is not the case, ask if oral appliances are covered by the insurance benefits. Be sure to tell the claims personnel that you have a CPT code. This will speed up the approval process.
The codes listed below have all had successful approval in many cases. Be sure to have a note of medical necessity signed by the prescriber and a description of the OASYS Oral Nasal Airway System® as a FDA approved appliance for treatment of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea and its function below.
