We operate on a cash-pay model. Our pricing for appointments and services is transparent and available on our website. To book an appointment, a credit card is required to be on file. Payment is due at the time of service.
By not billing insurance, we can focus on providing direct, personalized care without the limitations and administrative burdens often associated with insurance companies. This allows us to offer more flexible and cost-effective services.
While we do not bill for our own services, you may be able to use your insurance for external services like lab tests. We can provide you with the necessary lab order, which you would then present to the lab provider (e.g., Quest, LabCorp) who can bill your insurance directly.
A superbill is a detailed receipt of the services you received and paid for. It includes all the information an insurance company would need to potentially reimburse you for an out-of-network provider. We can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. We cannot guarantee your insurance company will reimburse you, as policies vary greatly.
No, all of our appointments are conducted via telehealth. This allows us to provide convenient and accessible care from the comfort of your home.
While we can prescribe many medications, certain controlled substances and other medications cannot be prescribed via a telehealth-only model due to state and federal regulations. We will inform you during your consultation if a medication you need falls into this category.
Yes, we provide prescriptions for CPAP devices and supplies, along with all necessary follow-up care. We are happy to work with your insurance's Durable Medical Equipment (DME) provider if you want to use your insurance for the cost of the equipment. However, we strongly advise you to check with your insurance plan about the extent and terms of your coverage. You may find that paying out-of-pocket is more affordable or practical, as it can often be less expensive than meeting high deductibles and you won't need to meet adherence requirements often mandated by insurance companies.
SleepWeight MD is designed for individuals who are seeking a convenient, personalized, and proactive approach to their sleep and weight health. You might be an ideal fit for our practice if:
You live in PA, AZ, IL MI, UT, AL, GA . As a telehealth-only practice, we are able to serve patients in multiple states.
You are proactive about your health. Our cash-pay model and focus on direct care are a great fit for people who want to be active participants in their health journey and aren't limited by insurance constraints.
You value convenience and flexibility. Our telehealth platform allows you to have appointments from the comfort of your own home, making it easy to fit into a busy schedule.
You have a specific concern about the connection between your sleep and weight. We specialize in this complex relationship and can provide targeted, expert guidance to help you reach your goals.
While we strive to provide excellent care, our practice model may not be the right fit for everyone. SleepWeight MD is likely not for you if:
You want to use your health insurance for our services. We are a cash-pay practice and do not bill insurance directly. If your primary goal is to use your insurance for appointments, co-pays, and to meet your deductible, we may not be the most suitable option.
You have Medicare or Medicaid. Due to federal regulations, we are unable to accept Medicare or Medicaid patients for covered services.
You have a complex medical condition that requires in-person physical exams or frequent lab tests. While we can order labs, our telehealth-only model is not a substitute for a traditional in-person practice, which is better suited for certain conditions that require hands-on physical examinations, imaging, or immediate in-person care.
You have an urgent medical issue or an emergency. We are not a replacement for urgent care or emergency services. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, you should call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
