I think you mentioned that the last doctor wanted you on ASV, and was trying to help you get it, but the insurance was being a problem. That doctor must have a copy of your sleep study results. Rather than trying to get it from the sleep lap, get it from the doctor. I know my primary doctor had a copy of it before I had my followup with the sleep doctor. I happened to be in for an appointment, so she showed it to me. Then, when I was at my sleep doctor appointment, I got a copy from them.

If you can't get it from t he sleep doctor, then go the official route. You do have a right to it.

Another option is to have your primary doctor request it. If they know who to request it from, they should be able to request your records, and then they can give it to you.

You couldn't be that old because in a previous post you said you were not on Medicare....(Although you sound like a crotchety old fart)
