Home Sleep Testing Now Available
The Sleep Disorders Institute is pleased to announce the launch of Home Sleep Testing (HST) services for patients who are members of Empire Blue Cross/Blue Shield and Healthnet.
These services allow patients with suspected sleep apnea to undergo unattended polysomnography in the comfort of their homes. In order to qualify, patients must be referred to rule out or confirm the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea based on the following: habitual snoring, witnessed apnea, obesity (BMI >30), an Epworth Sleepiness Scale score >10, and no evidence of a significant medical comorbidity (e.g., CHF, chronic pulmonary disease, or neuromuscular disease) or other sleep disorder (e.g., narcolepsy, central sleep apnea, or periodic limb movement disorder). All HST referrals are screened by an interdisciplinary team of physicians who are board certified in sleep medicine and who prepare test reports, assuring that patients receive the high quality of care for which the Sleep Disorders Institute is so well known.
For more information or referral forms, call 212-994-5100.
