financial policy

At Louisville Dental Sleep Medicine we are committed to you and your treatment. Please understand that payment of your bill is considered a part of your treatment. The following is a statement of out Financial Policy. You will be asked to read and sign a copy of this prior to any treatment.

We are a “Fee for Service” practice, which means we do not participate directly with your insurance company in payment of your claims. However, we realize that patients who take advantage of oral appliance therapy need our assistance in obtaining their covered benefits. We will make every attempt to assist you in attaining your benefits.

We strongly recommend that you contact your insurance company prior to treatment to confirm the amount or percent of coverage for your care in this office. This information will help make you aware of your financial responsibility before we begin treatment. Please call us at 502-458-7476 to learn specifically what to ask when talking to your insurance company.

If you do not have any insurance coverage for oral appliance therapy, several payment options, including credit cards and other financing resources, are available. We will be happy to discuss these with you.

    1. Your medical and dental insurance cards.
    2. A copy of your sleep study and any documentation regarding your sleep related diagnosis for Oral Appliance Therapy.
    3. A referral letter from your medical physician if this is a requirement of your insurance policy.
    4. A letter of medical necessity from the referring doctor.

With the information you provide, we can help you make the best decision. Financial arrangements can then be made in advance of treatment so you know your responsibilities up front.
