IF YOU ORDER A HOME SLEEP TEST, WHY SHOULD I ORDER A HOME SLEEP TEST ONLINE?
1, Great benefit: Testing in the comfort of your home, bed, or on the road means avoiding the unfamiliar and disruptive sleep lab. Home sleep testing (HST) has been proven accurate compared to an in-lab sleep apnea study, which is called a polysomnogram or (PSG), for diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients at risk for it.2. Snoring and women’s health: Snoring is not just a noise. It is also important to test snoring sleep partners. Our test can show you why snoring is not just an annoyance. It often has health consequences not just for men but also for women.
3. Sleep solutions are available: We first have you fill out a screening form to determine whether you may need a sleep study. After we evaluate this screening form, many do not need a sleep test. If you do have the test done, you may request a list of medical and dental professionals who can help with your situation. Or, if you are not a DOT driver, pilot, or ship captain, you may elect to keep your results private.
4. If you are a DOT driver, we will work with you to find a solution for any issue you have without the time constraints that now exist, with the discovery that you do have a sleep disturbance that could impair your safety in driving. You will get ample time to get a diagnosis in confidence and then find a solution before any information is shared with your DOT medical examiner. This way, you will not have only a 9-day window to become compliant. When we share your information with your DOT medical examiner, you will have a solution and be in compliance with no loss in your work schedule. Even though we must inform your DOT medical examiner of your condition, we will make a reasonable timeframe for you to solve your compliance issues first.
5. Professional Diagnosis: Your home sleep apnea study will be read by a board-certified sleep specialist, unlike many online tests. This will be done in confidence.
6. Quick mail-order shipping: Complete the online test order form. You'll receive your sleep study test results by secure email 5-7 business days after completing the test.
7. You control your expenses and privacy: You do not need a prescription or referral to take this test and can avoid the cost of a medical office visit to order this test. This can be an additional savings to you. If you are not a DOT driver, pilot, or ship captain, you do not have to share it with anyone unless you want to, including your family physician, nurse practitioner, sleep doctor, chiropractor, dentist, or other healthcare provider. We also will not send results to your insurance company.
8. You can keep working: Our home sleep study test meets occupational Health and Human Services guidelines with DOT, CDL, and FAA. If you need results quickly to continue working, we can help.
9. Doctor Consultation: After filling out a qualifying online health screening questionnaire and completing a home sleep study, you can schedule a free consult with Dr. Downs or another staff member for this website.
