Beginning with December 1, 2012, dates of service, cost-sharing (deductible, 
coinsurance, and/or copayments) will
 apply to sleep studies for all commercial HMO, POS,  and PPO members. Members 
will be responsible for the same cost-sharing that is applied to their routine 
radiology benefit. Cost-sharing varies based on the member?s type of coverage 
and benefit plan. Providers can view a summary of member benefits on the 
NaviNet
? web portal. 
Cost-sharing for sleep studies can be found under ?Routine 
Radiology/Diagnostic? within the Benefit Snapshot when using the 
Eligibility 
and Benefits Inquiry transaction. Providers without NaviNet access must 
contact Customer Service at 
1-800-ASK-BLUE to 
determine the appropriate member cost-share responsibility.
Please refer to our 
 Medical 
Policy  website for detailed information on IBC?s coverage of sleep 
disorder testing.
