You have options to get snoring treated and paid for

Snoring is often a sign of a more serious condition called obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).  During obstructive sleep apnea, pauses or stoppages in breathing during sleep lead to oxygen starvation to vital organs. Treatments for OSA are most often covered under medical insurance guideline for reimbursements.  Some insurances may have a “minimum” amount of severity that they will begin coverage.

We have also seen (although far less common) some medical carriers have benefit coverage for upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS) or primary snoring depending on the severity of symptoms. These symptoms may include excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS). UARS and primary snoring are conditions that during a sleep evaluation patients did not “score” enough to reach the mild diagnosis range.  These patients may still in fact have apnea events (stoppages or pauses in breathing), just not enough to reach that number which classifies them as “mild” OSA.

Our practice has over 17 years of experience in workup with snoring and apnea patients.  We would be more than happy to screen your oral cavity, discuss possible treatment options and refer you to appropriate medical providers as needed to get your snoring resolved.
