Appointment Information
Our staff has developed the following guidelines to help ensure that you receive the most comfortable and accurate sleep study possible:
Appointment and Arrival
Your SomnoMedics scheduling department has assigned your bedroom number and location and has sent this information to you. If you cannot make your appointment please call us at (800) 797-7533. Please allow a 24-hour advance notice for cancellations. Please do not arrive more than 15 minutes before your appointment time. The technician will awaken you between 5:00am and 5:30am. Please note there is a $75 cancellation fee if you do not call to cancel your appointment 24 hours in advance.
Payment
Your SomnoMedics scheduling department will contact you with your payment responsibility based on your insurance. This amount is due on the night of your study. Payable by check, money order or credit card (NO cash). If you need to have payment arrangements worked out for this amount you must contact our billing department prior to you study at (800) 797-7533.
Accommodations
Each bedroom suite has a queen size bed and is equipped with a flat screen cable television for your enjoyment. There are no shower facilities.
Special Needs
If you have any special needs (i.e. handicapped, prosthetics, language barrier etc.) please make sure that our office is aware of your needs as soon as possible so that we may be prepared to assist in meeting your needs.
Caregiver
Please do not bring anyone to your sleep study. Should you need a caregiver to stay with you our office MUST be made aware of this prior to your study or we may not be able to accommodate them.
Medications
KEEP TAKING ALL MEDICATION unless specifically ordered by your physician. Any medication that you need to take while you are at your study must be brought in their original container. We are not permitted to store any medications in a refrigerator (i.e. insulin). Please bring something to keep your medication cool.
Day of Study
Avoid taking excessive naps to insure you are able to sleep for your appointment. Please have clean, dry hair, with an easily accessible scalp (i.e. no glued on wigs or bonded weaves). Do not apply hairspray, gel, talcum powder or lotion. For males, if you are usually clean-shaven, please shave before your sleep study.
Medical Equipment
Bring any medical equipment you may use other than Oxygen. For example if you use a Nebulizer, please bring all equipment/medications used with it. We have oxygen if required.
What to Wear and Bring
Bring your drivers license and insurance cards in order to make a copy for our files. Wear comfortable pajamas to sleep in. Two-piece pajamas that button in the front are the optimal sleepwear to enable the technician to easily apply the electrodes. If you don’t own two-piece pajamas, just bring a loose fitted tee shirt and comfortable shorts or even sweats. We will be placing electrodes on your upper torso so a nightgown will not work well for those that are modest or shy. Please feel free to bring any sleeping aids with you (i.e. extra pillows, book, sound machine).
Billing
You may receive a bill from the physician reading/interpreting your sleep study. This is a separate bill and not related to us. Also, please note that if you are responsible for any additional payment, other than the amount stated above, you will receive a bill directly from us reflecting the amount in the mail.
If you have any questions please feel free to call the SomnoMedics scheduling department at (800) 797-7533.
