you might be able to apply for financial hardship at the hospital where they do sleep studies. there might also be some outpatient type clinics not tied to a hospital which might be less expensive. ask your insurance company for a special exception…
Nice article Jason.
You can also get your blood pressure checked at the local fire station.
I think calling the local sleep lab is the best suggestion. They usually know the ins & outs of the different insurance companies. This is usually something insurance companies…
Check with your Insurance Co. again, and again. This could be a matter of life or death situation.
If he were to have a heart attack and was hospitalized would they pay for those Medical costs? A Sleep study
could be the base line for improving the…
I wrote an article about this because I was getting asked it so often. Hopefully it helps.

Is he a vet if so he can get help at a VA Medical Center
He can also check his blood pressure for free at many drug stores such as Walgreens or CVS or stores such as Target and WalMart if they are in your area. The Pharmicist there may also be able to provide you with additional resources.
I would suggest calling your local Sleep Center or Clinic to see if they are offering any free trial studies.
If they do not they may be able to assist you further.
Be Well!
JUst for fun.. a few weekends ago, he begins to feel with high blood presure... our clinic was closed that sunday... so we went to other hospital... there they ask us 350US$ to measure his blood preasure and give a prescription... It means for us 5…
Hi everybody, nice weekend!!! I wish some can help me and my boyfriend with information about where can we get the sleep apnea study for cheap or for free if it's possible... We are inmigrants and our insurance do not cover the diagnosis or tearteme…

Silvia, you are very correct in being concerned about your boyfriend's breathing when he sleeps.
Do some research on this site, or other internet sites and print out what you find and give him to read.
If this doesn't work, do you have a tape recor…

- Welcome to the Sleepguide community.
We are a group of patients and professionals that are interested in sleep apnea. Sleep apnea can contribute to a number of health issues, that if not treated can lead to serious consequences for those that have sleep apnea.
We work together to help those that are struggling with their therapy to find solutions to their issues that they may have. Various treatment options are available, with cpap/apap therapy probably being among the least invasive for those with severe sleep apnea.
Please feel free to join in the discussions and participate in the forum.

- I used to have problems both falling to sleep and getting a good night sleep, suffering from mild Sleep Apnea, a friend of mine told me about the LiveWave Silent Night patches, it worked wonders for me, I like it because nothing goes into my body and I sleep through the night without any problems.

I do not just love him. I think he makes sleep look sexy!
Yeah, well, jnk is one sharp cookie for all his protestations he is "only" a patient!! And his comment planted the question in my head. Blame him!! Dontcha just love that guy??
I thought jnk had me for a minute. great question Judy.
I know. I rather like it too. *wicked grin* Doggone jnk is just too darn level headed.
The two major manufacturers have similar "comfort features" but use somewhat different terminology. Since determining the settings for these "comfort features" require that the patient be sleeping how on earth is the local DME RRT going to come up w…
You could very well be right jnk. I have never been in this situation. Those settings are hardly ever discussed.
It would all depend on what the minimum maximum window is Judy. Maybe I am missing something on this one as I do not fully understand your question.
In general Carol, steve is right. Your case and many others prove the need to treat the pt rather than the rule.
Keep them coming guys! Thank you so much Judy. Ask anything you want. It does not matter if it is on the test or not. Put me in any situation you like as I am bound to answer based on the same set of rules.
This would be a question of protocol. For which I would refer first to my P&P. Which I do not to believe to have a policy on these types of comfort adjustments. Which would leave to clinical judgement. Clinical judgement tells me that I can adjust f…
Judy thats evil.....I like it
very timely welcome to the forum
Wishing all the success for your trial ordeal exam i am confident you will breeze it
You are titrating a patient on bi-level. The patient has slept well and you've found what seems to be the IPAP and EPAP needed for this patient. The patient has COPD. Can you adjust for Rise Time, Ti Maximum and Ti Minimum, Exhalation, Trigger and C…

Hey DW ~
Great hearing from Brandon. Please tell him from me that I'm glad he asked in and that I think he's amazing - way ahead of his time -- the wave of the future. And would you also tell him that I hope he keeps voicing his ideas about everyth…
If anyone would like to help me study this week PM me your email. i will send you questions to post on SG.
Do you mean where they go, or why they are used? The first thing that I am going to do is draw out the complete 10/20 when I walk into the room.
there is a couple questions about t3-t4- placement
No cramming the night before. My brother has a day of fun planned for me that will end with an early night. I will however cram through Tuesday with my family doing a comprehensive review at dinner on Wed. The only thing I will look over on Friday m…
