Q: Will I be able to sleep with the home sleep test, and will the data be accurate?
A: Our sleep test is a small, extremely light weight, non-evasive device that fits comfortably and securely around your chest, and allows you to get a good night’s rest in the privacy of your own home while recording all the necessary data to diagnose sleep apnea.

A: If you’re insured, your insurance is going to cover the unit. If you are not we will accept payment in full by cash, check or credit. Financing is also available in most cases.

Q: What if I do not have sleep apnea?
A: If the sleep test comes back and you are negative we will promptly communicate this with your doctor clearing you of any sleep disordered breathing and allowing you to move forward in your career.
