(Rev. 1, 10-01-03)
A3-3112.5
Sleep disorder clinics are facilities in which certain conditions are diagnosed through the
study of sleep. Such clinics are for diagnosis, therapy, and research. Sleep disorder
clinics may provide some diagnostic or therapeutic services that are covered under
Medicare. These clinics may be affiliated either with a hospital or a freestanding facility.
Whether a clinic is hospital-affiliated or freestanding, coverage for diagnostic services
under some circumstances is covered under provisions of the law different from those for
coverage of therapeutic services.
