If your physician feels that you are a candidate for a sleep study, your name and information will be sent to our Sleep Navigator. After reviewing insurance coverage and preexisting health conditions, our sleep navigator will determine the type of sleep study that is best for you. If an appointment with one a pulmonary and sleep physicians is needed, our navigator can also help set this up.
