Effective Alternatives to CPAP
CPAP is a common treatment for sleep apnea. But many patients stop using it because their CPAP machine is loud, and it can disrupt their lifestyle. If you’re tired of your CPAP machine, Dr. Scott Clinton offers a range of treatment options. For example, we feature oral appliance therapy.
Our convenient oral appliance gently relieves your sleep apnea symptoms by keeping your airway open while you sleep. An oral appliance is small and quiet and can take it anywhere. The American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine recognizes Dr. Clinton for his sleep apnea care.
When you meet with Dr. Clinton for your consultation, he’ll go over your treatment options. Call (972) 737-5337 to learn more.
Your Insurance & Financing Options
There’s a good chance your health insurance provider will cover at least a portion of your oral appliance therapy cost. You can call them to find out what your total coverage will be, and our payment coordinator will be happy to speak with you if you have any additional questions.
To make your care more affordable, we also work with CareCredit and LendingClub. These private lenders offer low-interest and interest-free financing options to help cover the cost of medical care. It’s fast and easy to apply online, and CareCredit will even give you a special credit card to use.
Payment Options
Dr. Clinton wants to see you get the sleep apnea care you need. We accept cash, checks, major credit cards, flexible spending accounts, and health savings accounts for your convenience.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does sleep apnea treatment cost?
The cost of your sleep apnea treatment will depend on your situation. The cost varies depending on:
- The cause of your sleep apnea
- The treatment you decide on
- Your overall health
Your sleep apnea dentist will break down the cost of your treatment and provide you with an accurate total at your consultation.
How does CareCredit work?
You can apply for CareCredit by phone or online. Once approved, you can use it as a credit card for your dental care. You can use it to pay for copays, deductibles, and costs not covered by insurance. That way, you don’t need to use the money in your bank account to receive the care you need.
CareCredit is a short-term financing option that allows you to pay over months rather than upfront. Best of all, the amount you borrow may be interest-free as long as you pay it in full within the allotted time.
Is LendingClub a reputable company?
LendingClub is a trusted marketplace where they match borrowers with investors willing to fund their loans. Whether you’re looking to borrow for a special need such as dental services, consolidate loans, or refinance your home, LendingClub offers a variety of loan packages to assist your needs.
Can I use a flexible spending account (FSA) or health savings account (HSA) to pay for sleep apnea treatments?
Yes. You can use funds from a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA) to pay for sleep apnea treatments. FSA and HSA are pre-tax accounts that allow you to set aside money to pay for certain medical expenses. It’s essential to check with your plan provider to confirm the FSA or HSA plan can cover sleep apnea treatments.
