Sleep studies

Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) covers Type I, II, III, and IV sleep tests and devices if you have clinical signs and symptoms of sleep apnea.

Your costs in Original Medicare

After you meet the Part B deductible , you pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount .

 

Note

To find out how much your test, item, or service will cost, talk to your doctor or health care provider. The specific amount you’ll owe may depend on several things, like:

  • Other insurance you may have
  • How much your doctor charges
  • If your doctor accepts assignment
  • The type of facility
  • Where you get your test, item, or service

 

Note

Your doctor or other health care provider may recommend you get services more often than Medicare covers. Or, they may recommend services that Medicare doesn’t cover. If this happens, you may have to pay some or all of the costs. Ask questions so you understand why your doctor is recommending certain services and if, or how much, Medicare will pay for them.

Things to know

Medicare only covers Type I tests if they’re done in a sleep lab facility. Your doctor must order the test.
