How the Sleep Test Works
Your at-home sleep test monitors your sleep and your respiration. In the morning, your sleep test will know how long you spent in certain stages and provide information about pauses in breathing, the absence of breathing, how difficult it is for you to breathe, and the quality of each breath.
Your sleep test is convenient and straightforward but highly sensitive. It gives your sleep doctor the information they need to assess your sleep apnea.

What to Expect with Telemedicine
Not all patients need to have a consultation before receiving their sleep test. This is, however, required by some insurance companies if a person wants the insurance company to cover the cost of a sleep test.
During a pre-sleep test consultation, you will have a scheduled consultation with a sleep physician that may include:
- Screening for sleep apnea and snoring
- Education on signs and symptoms of sleep apnea
- Referral for sleep testing for at-risk patients
After your sleep test, our sleep physician will schedule a consultation with you to review your diagnostic data, help you understand the sleep test data and discuss your treatment options. Learn more about telemedicine.
2-night home sleep tests increase our success rate and minimize potential retesting occurrences. This also ensures we gather enough data for our contracted, board-certified sleep physicians to interpret the study properly and provide a diagnosis and/or letter of medical necessity.
Our sleep tests are very accurate. We use the top equipment in the industry, and our testing success rate is 98.2%!
Patients using medical insurance will be responsible for the copays of any telemedicine visits and their deductible/coinsurance for the sleep test. We offer affordable prices for patients not using insurance. Either way, we'll tell you how much everything costs before you're committed to testing. Per our Terms, if we cannot retrieve study Information from a testing device due to a user's error (as will be determined in the sole and absolute discretion of SleepTest), you may be charged a re-testing fee of $99.
Patients utilizing insurance benefits pay the combined pre-test telemedicine visit and home sleep test lab fees at the time of the pre-test telemedicine visit via the telemedicine platform. The post-test telemedicine visit fee is paid separately, at the time of the post-test telemedicine appointment, via the telemedicine platform.
Patients who are referred by a subscribing provider will have their results delivered to their provider within 1-2 business days after the home sleep test has been received by SleepTest.com. Patients who order their sleep test through our website receive their results to their SleepTest.com Patient Portal within 1-2 business days after the home sleep test has been received by SleepTest.com.
Yes! Our telemedicine visits and home sleep tests qualify for both health savings accounts and flex spending accounts.

The pre-test telemedicine visit is a requirement for patients utilizing insurance. During the online visit, one of our contracted sleep specialists (MD, DO, NP, PA) will screen you for signs and symptoms of sleep apnea, answer any questions, and prescribe your 2-night home sleep test.
At the post-test telemedicine visit, one of our contracted sleep specialists (MD, DO, NP, PA) will explain your results and can write you a prescription for sleep apnea therapy. This final step after testing is required to obtain a prescription for therapy.
Patients referred by one of our subscribing providers will have their results delivered to their provider within 1-2 business days after we receive the home sleep test device. Patients who order their sleep test through our website receive their results via their SleepTest Patient Portal within 1-2 business days after we receive the home sleep test device.
Patients referred by one of our subscribing providers must contact that provider for diagnostic report(s) and any medical documentation. Patients who order their own sleep test from our website will receive a notification to log in to their SleepTest Patient Portal, enter the personal access code, and download the results. Diagnostic reports and letters of medical necessity are delivered within a few days after the sleep test device is returned; however, all patients seeking a prescription for therapy must attend a post-test telemedicine visit to review the results with sleep specialist (MD, DO, NP, PA) to do so.
Sleep apnea is a common but often undiagnosed sleep disorder affecting millions of adults in the United States. An estimated 29.4 million American adults have sleep apnea, yet 80% remain undiagnosed and untreated.
In our fast-paced, digitally driven world, we find ourselves in front of screens all day long, right up to the time we go to bed. All that constant exposure to computer screens, tablets, phones, and other devices can impact the quality of sleep we get, particularly if we don't put the devices away early enough. As we head into spring, when everything is coming back to life, why not breathe life into your sleep by enforcing a little digital detox?
Getting good sleep is crucial to our overall health and well-being. It is the foundation for a healthy lifestyle and is essential for mental fortitude. A good night's sleep not only promotes physical health but also helps improve our mood and prevent mood swings, irritability, anxiety, and depression. However, as we age, it can become increasingly difficult to get proper sleep, and we may not even realize it at first. To better understand the science of sleep, we need to know what our body needs, be aware of the symptoms of poor sleep, and explore ways to improve our sleep quality to become a happier and healthier version of ourselves.
