FAQs about Sleep Studies

Common Questions

Will I be able to use the restroom during my study?

Yes, you may use the restroom at anytime. The technologist can easily disconnect the wires so you can use the bathroom privately.

What if I can't sleep?

Most people do not have difficulty sleeping during the study. Even if you are unable to sleep the entire time, you will likely sleep long enough for your doctor to make a diagnosis.

Is a family member or caregiver allowed to stay with me?

Yes, we have daybeds in each room for parents, guardians and caregivers.

Is the bed comfortable?

We have a hotel style atmosphere with king or queen size Casper award-winning mattresses and luxury bedding.

Is the sleep study painful or invasive?

No, the sleep study is not painful. Your technologist may ask you to try to sleep on your back during the study, so please inform them if sleeping on your back is painful or uncomfortable.

Should I bring my nighttime medications with me?

Yes, please bring any medications you take at bedtime and let the technologist know about the medications before you take them.

What if I can’t tolerate the CPAP?

If you receive CPAP therapy during the second half of your study, your technologist will help you find a mask and make other adjustments to help you feel as comfortable as possible. Please discuss any further options for treatment with your physician at your follow up if you feel you can’t tolerate CPAP.

What is your cancellation policy?

There is a $300 fee charged for no shows or for cancellations made less than two full business days in advance. The fee may be waived in circumstances where the patient is sick or has an emergency as long as the appointment is rescheduled.

Will insurance help cover my costs?

The short answer is, YES! Medicare Part B covers Types I-IV of sleep tests and devices, provided you have clinical signs and symptoms of sleep apnea. Type I sleep tests are only covered if they’re ordered by your doctor and performed in a sleep lab facility, such as our own. Additional tests and services may fall outside of Medicare’s coverage, so it’s important to consult with your doctor about what will be covered.

If my insurance isn’t covered, are there any other assistance plans?

There are several organizations that offer financial assistance. AASM Sleep Education has put together a great resource highlighting financial assistance options for your sleep study.

Do you charge a cancellation fee?

What insurance do you take?
