Services and Fees
Snoring is not an insured medical condition under the B.C. Medical Services Plan. Therefore no referral is necessary.
Non-referred patients
Fees are payable at the time of the appointment, and before the commencement of the procedure or course of procedures. The fee for the initial consultation and endoscopy is subtracted from the first of any subsequent surgical fees, provided the surgery occurs within six months.
Referred patients
If your physician suspects you have sleep apnea (not simply snoring), he may refer you to the Centre; in these cases MSP will currently pay the consultation fee. However, MSP will not cover any surgery unless apnea is proven on overnight study in an accredited sleep lab, and then only if the surgery is done in hospital using conventional means (not laser or radiofrequency). The MSP-paid consultation fee cannot be deducted, reclaimed or refunded.
IP fee includes up to 2 treatments (usually only 1 necessary).
The RPM surgical fee includes a total of three visits for assessment, education and counselling, and treatment as necessary.
The LAUP surgical fee includes one followup visit for assessment and counselling.
Please obtain fees by phone or fax from the Sleep Surgery Centre. Payment is by cash, Visa, or MasterCard. Consultation fees are payable at the time of the appointment. Surgical fees must be fully paid at the time of booking so that equipment and expertise can be arranged and coordinated for your procedure.
