Sleep Study and Titration Study Cost Difference

Post by bigheadr » Fri Aug 05, 2005 7:48 am

I just got my cost back from the insurance company for the titration study that I did in June. I was surprise that my sleep clinic tried to charge several thousand for my titration test but the insurance would allow about $1700. Which means that I will have to pay around $340. My initial sleep study only cost about $400. Are these normal costs for a sleep study and a titration study? I don't understand why there would be so much of a difference. The only difference is that I had a CPAP on for a titration night and the RT tweeked it 2-3 times.

You're initial sleep study only cost $400 total? Or was that $400 your cost? If it was $400 total that's GREAT! My initial sleep study cost about $2300. Quite a big difference wouldn't you say?
