They billed my insurance company $4,200 for the polysomnography, of which I was responsible for 10 percent.

This last sleep doctor was DEFINITELY GROSSLY OVERPAID considering his actual worth!!! The four sleep doctors at my local sleep clinic were all much better than this overpaid, low calibre, sorry excuse for a sleep specialist (or doctor for that matter).

I believe my cost was $2500. I am on an 80/20 plan for this sort of thing with my insurance so my out of pocket was just slightly over $500.
