Re: Latest test didn't show apnea? But I know I need cpap.
the insurance company wanted me to do a new sleep study Are they paying 100% of the test costs? Is this in-lab or HST? So far, the at home and in-lab both didn't show me in the clinical range for apneas/hypopneas. There was a lot of snoring in the at home test. Not sure about the results of the in ...

Re: Latest test didn't show apnea? But I know I need cpap.
Buy your machine privately. Member LSAT sells often sells them for great prices. Manage your therapy privately. Thant's what many of us do. I may need to go in this direction... my in lab test didn't show it either (even though I had a positive test 7-8 years ago... still trying to track down those...

Re: Latest test didn't show apnea? But I know I need cpap.

Re: Latest test didn't show apnea? But I know I need cpap.
Hysteresis is the dependence of the state of a system on its history. When I had a repeat sleep study, I was told to stay off CPAP for 2 weeks.... :shock: But the doctor "let me off" after 10 days... this was 2017 If I remember correctly, Rubicon said relatively recently that a week should be enoug...

Re: Latest test didn't show apnea? But I know I need cpap.
The ins. company insisted on a new sleep study. Tell us more about how this came about. What triggered the insurance company to ask for a new study?
