What to expect with therapy
Understanding what is involved in therapy can be important prior to and initially in the process. Here are some tidbits to keep in mind to come out successful in the end.
Instructions reviewed at your Delivery Visit including how to maintain your device
Dr. Shah reviews typical manufacturer instructions on how to get the most life out of your oral devices by keeping them super clean. Sonic machines can oscillate at thousands of waves per minute to remove saliva and prevent plaque buildup, while a professional cleaning powder can disinfect by killing 99% of all bacteria. Specific instructions given directly by our staff may supercede information given here because each case is unique.
Understanding Medical Billing
Our billing staff share what to expect in getting your sleep apnea and/or TMJ therapy approved by most medical insurances. Medical billing can definitely be confusing and even though our staff has over 3 decades of combined experience, please remember the following:
- We base coverage on the information given to us by your insurance.
- We are at the mercy of your insurance co.
- We will do everything in our capacity to get you the most coverage.
