Question 1

Do you accept my insurance?

Accepted Answer

Marigold Sleep is a fee-for-service clinic. I do not work with insurances directly, but I can provide you with a superbill that you can submit to your insurance for possible out-of-network reimbursement. At this time, I am unable to accept patients with Medicare or Medi-Cal.

Question 2

What conditions do you treat and diagnose?

Accepted Answer

Obstructive sleep apnea, insomnia, pediatric insomnia and behavioral sleep concerns, circadian rhythm disorders, pediatric sleep training, restless legs syndrome, and narcolepsy (limited; without inpatient sleep lab access, narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia are referred out).

Question 3

Do you prescribe sleep medications?

Accepted Answer

Though many patients are given sleep aids, the goal of care is generally to help patients come off sleep aids when possible. I perform a comprehensive workup to address your concerns, and then we discuss what medications, if any, are needed to help you sleep.

Question 4

Are all appointments virtual?

Accepted Answer

All appointments are virtual and available across the Bay Area.

Question 5

What is your cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

Marigold Sleep has a 72-hour cancellation policy. If you need to cancel within the 72-hour window, your service fee for the visit will be forfeited.

Question 6

What is a typical sleep care pathway?

Accepted Answer

A typical pathway starts with an initial evaluation, followed by an optional sleep study with a results follow-up, then approximately two to four further follow-ups. Most patients complete structured insomnia care within two to three months.
