Important Information About Insurance

Sonno Sleep Centers accept patients with and without insurance. The Sonno Sleep Centers participate in most major insurance plans. We will make all arrangements for pre-certification and insurance authorization on your behalf. 

Some general insurance guidelines for visiting a sleep specialist are below:

HMOs: Referrals are needed for all office visits with us. If your health plan is an HMO or an insurance plan that requires you to have a Primary Care Physician (PCP), regardless of who sets up the appointment, we must have a referral number from the office of your Primary Care Physician. If possible, please have your Primary Care Physician request a referral number that is good for three office visits and two diagnostic studies, instead of getting one visit approved at a time. This way, we will be better able to serve you.

PPOs: If you health plan is a PPO plan, a referral is generally not required and our office will provide all insurance verification requirements on your behalf.

Your insurance company may require a thyroid test (blood work for TSH level) prior to issuing authorizations for overnight sleep studies. If you have had any blood work done recently, please request a copy of this information from your Primary Care Physician and bring it with you to your initial office visit with us.

If you have decided to schedule an appointment with us, you can have your primary doctor refer you, or you may call us yourself if your insurance company does not require a referral.
