Insurance coverage for snoring surgery
I'm looking into surgery to cure my snoring. I've tried every remedy out there: breathe right strips, throat sprays, decongestants, the wedge pillow, sleeping on my side, etc. I had a sleep study done and I don't have sleep apnea.
I'd like to get the pilar procedure or some similar surgery done but my doctor said since I don't have sleep apnea it's a cosmetic surgery and insurance won't cover it. It's become a problem for both my wife and I and I'm constantly tired. I sleep on the couch occassionally but don't want that kind of marriage.
Any ideas on how I can convince my insurance company to cover it? The surgery runs about $1500-$1800 and as a high school teacher I can't afford it on my own.
