Insurance & Payment for Services

Insurance
The Emory Clinic Sleep Disorders Center accepts most insurance plans. You should bring your insurance card with you to your appointments.

Please call in advance of your appointment to determine if your insurance carrier is contracted with us. You will be responsible for any charges not covered by your carrier. If you prefer to file yourself, we will provide the paperwork necessary for reimbursement and ask for payment from you at the time of the appointment.

• Managed Care — If you are covered by managed care, we request co-pays and deductibles at the time of the appointment.
• HMO Plans — Almost all HMO insurance plans require a referral from your Primary Care Physician.
• PPO Plans — If your insurance is a PPO plan, a referral is usually not necessary; however, please check to ensure that Emory is included in your plan.

Payment
Payment for services is due at the time services are rendered. However, as a courtesy, we will submit a claim for you to any third party insurance carrier with whom Emory Healthcare has a contract.

We accept any of the following payment methods:

• Cash
