Insured Patients

It’s important to follow the instructions provided by your private medical insurance company and the Sleep and Health Clinic to ensure a smooth process when seeking medical treatment. Here’s a summary of the key points from the information you provided:

Contact Your Insurer: Before receiving any medical services, you should reach out to your private medical insurance company to confirm whether they will cover the costs of the treatment. It’s crucial to do this in advance to avoid unexpected expenses.

Obtain Authorization: Once you have spoken to your insurer and they have approved coverage for your treatment, they will typically issue you an authorization number or a claim form. Make sure to obtain this documentation.

Bring Documentation to Your Appointment: When you go to the Sleep and Health Clinic for your appointment, it’s essential to bring the authorization number or claim form provided by your insurer. This will help facilitate the billing process.

Direct Settlement with Insurance: Many insurance companies have arrangements for direct billing with healthcare providers, which means the clinic can bill your insurer directly. However, this depends on your specific insurance company and policy.

Personal Settlement: In cases where direct settlement with your insurer is not possible, or if you do not have proof of authorization, you may be required to pay for the medical services yourself. Afterward, you can seek reimbursement from your insurance company.

Membership or Policy Number: It’s also crucial to bring your membership number, policy number, or plan number to your appointments. These are typically required for proper identification and billing purposes.

By following these steps and providing the necessary information, you can ensure that your private medical insurance covers your treatment at the Sleep and Health Clinic as smoothly as possible.
