I actually did a take-home sleep test a few months ago, but since my results were >5 breathing disruptions an hour they said that I didn’t qualify for further testing or treatment. A colleague of mine told me to check out a different sleep doctor, one that wasn’t affiliated with a large medical network, so I did.
That doctor took one look at the results of the at-home study and realized what happened, because it happens all the time. The network-affiliated clinic that I went to used insurance industry guidelines, but the guidelines set by actual medical sleep specialists said that I am closer to 10 interruptions an hour, and qualified me for an in-lab study.
In short, the American medical system is a racket ran by insurance companies, and it prioritizes profit over positive outcomes. Which we all know already, but what is to be done about it?
Whatever it is, we better do it soon. Chop Chop
