Insurance Coverage for Myofunctional Therapy
Insurance coverage for myofunctional therapy is evolving. While not all plans cover it, coverage is becoming more common as research continues to demonstrate its effectiveness for conditions like sleep apnea and TMJ disorders.
Medical Insurance
Some plans cover myofunctional therapy when linked to a medical diagnosis such as obstructive sleep apnea, TMJ dysfunction, or swallowing disorders. Pre-authorization may be required.
Dental Insurance
Some dental plans cover myofunctional therapy, particularly when it supports orthodontic treatment or addresses tongue thrust affecting dental alignment.
Out-of-Network Benefits
If we are out-of-network with your plan, we provide detailed superbills that you can submit for potential reimbursement. Many patients recover 50–80% of session costs.
Making Treatment Affordable
- Verify insurance benefits before starting treatment
- Ask about out-of-network reimbursement (superbills)
- Use HSA or FSA funds for therapy expenses
- Ask about package pricing for a full treatment program
- Consider that successful treatment may prevent more costly dental or medical procedures
