What is the process for obtaining or updating a CPAP or oral appliance prescription?

Obtaining or updating a CPAP or oral appliance prescription through SleepTest.com involves several steps. Here's a simple guide to help you through the process:

Steps to Obtain a Prescription:

1. Complete the Sleep Test: First, you must undergo a sleep test using one of the devices provided by SleepTest.com. Ensure you follow all instructions for accurate results.
2. Telemedicine Consultation: A post-test telemedicine visit is usually required after the test. This is especially necessary if you have severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) or if your insurance requires it. A healthcare provider will discuss your results and therapy options during this visit.
3. Prescription Issuance: Based on the consultation, a prescription for CPAP or an oral appliance will be issued if deemed necessary. This prescription can be used to obtain the device from a local Durable Medical Equipment (DME) provider or through SleepTest.com's affiliates.

Updating an Existing Prescription:

1. Schedule a Follow-Up: If you need to update your prescription, schedule a follow-up telemedicine appointment through SleepTest.com. This is important if there are changes in your condition or insurance requirements.
2. Discuss Changes: During the appointment, discuss any changes in your condition or needs with the healthcare provider. They will assess whether an updated prescription is necessary.
3. Receive Updated Prescription: If needed, an updated prescription will be provided. This can be used to adjust your therapy or obtain a new device.
