Filing for Insurance

If you are going to file for insurance to cover the costs of the TAP^®, file for medical insurance not dental insurance. Usually oral appliances fall under the same category as durable medical equipment and prostheses. If this is not the case, ask if oral appliances are covered by the insurance benefits. Be sure to tell the claims personnel that you have a CPT code. This will speed up the approval process.

These codes have all had successful prior approval. Be sure to have a note of medical necessity signed by the prescriber and a description of the TAP^® and its function below. The codes that we can provide are:
