What is a Home Sleep Study?

A home sleep study is a good option for patients for many reasons: it’s less expensive and typically covered by most insurance companies, and nearly 85% of the time patients qualify for auto-pap.

While this is a convenient at-home solution for some, not every patient is eligible for a home sleep study. Patients with the following conditions are NOT candidates for a home sleep study:

• Congestive heart failure
• Atrial fibrillation
• Obesity >60 BMI
• Moderate to severe pulmonary disease
• Pediatrics <18
• Central sleep apnea
• Periodic limb movement disorder
• Insomnia
• Parasomnias
• Circadian rhythm disorders
• Narcolepsy
• General screening of asymptomatic populations
