    Hi Guest! Great question. There is not a standard guideline we are aware of. From my understanding, it is the discretion of the insurance company. Most insurers we see set the radius at 30-40 miles, however I have run into an insurer in the past that set the radius at 75 miles! I have seen success appealing this gap request denial for long distance travel – especially with sleep patients. Hope this helps!

    I want to know if there is a standard guideline for a gap waiver. I requested waiver because no in network provider in a 30 mile radius provides the same service. Ins denied waiver because there is an in network provider 42 miles away. What is the limit for mileage they can require a patient to travel for services?
