[quote="northernlights"]It still amazes me that the world's richest country cannot provide this type of medical care for its citizens. I find this a pitiful situation for someone to be in.
Best of luck!

On the other hand, it is the finest care available in the world bar none. There is no waiting weeks for diagnostic tests such as PET or CAT scans. The U.S. healthcare system isn't perfect but we see a lot of Canadians crossing over into Michigan for immediate care. Once you start having the government pay for everyone, the quality and delivery of care will change.

my insurance is called HealthCare Solutions Group Inc. They are out of Muskogee, OK.
I spoke to the owners son at work this morning and he really did not seem to care. Then I spoke to my HR Rep at work but she said that our plan policy does not allow for it. I am still ticked that they told one sleep center that they do cover it. I would never have signed up for it otherwise.
I feel like I am paying them $150 a week to tell me to get F_____.

Thanks for the help everyone. I found the AWAKE In America site and I am trying to get in touch with someone in there Northwest Arkansas area to find out more. I have family down there so I can go to that area if needed.

I am also trying to get a hold of the original sleep lab that I spoke to to see what they can offer.

I know that I am not alone, but its hard not to get discouraged. With the fatigue and working then driving almost 3 hours a day, I only get a couple of hours a day to spend with my family before I am out for the night. I have a 2 year old and I feel like I am missing so much with him. Sometimes all that I can do is lay on the floor and watch him for a bit.

AGAIN. Thanks for all the ideas.
