In-patient (Laboratory) Sleep Studies
Sleep WA accepts reimbursement provided by a patient’s Private Health Insurance Fund [assuming full hospital cover is held] plus Medicare as payment for an in-patient sleep study. Sleep WA will submit an in-patient sleep study account to your private health fund and depending on your level of cover, there may be a fee or ‘gap’ for the sleep study. A separate account for the overnight stay in hospital will be issued by the hospital where the sleep study is conducted. To determine if there is any fee or ‘gap’ for the overnight hospital stay, a patient must contact their health fund directly. The receptionists at Sleep WA are happy to provide additional information on fees once health insurance information has been obtained.

Referrals
In order to be eligible for a Medicare refund, a valid referral is required. Referrals from General Practitioners (GPs) are generally valid for 12 months, and those from specialists/physicians are generally valid for 3 months only. If a referral is not current, Medicare will pay only a small proportion of the Medicare rebate.
Please ensure your referral is up to date. If you are unsure about the status of your current referral, please call 1300 570 700 and one of our friendly medical receptionists will be able to assist you.
