[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 648463, member: 1233"] If you go for a sleep study, be SURE to ask the prices and if there is a chance that you will need a second night at additional cost. Even with insurance it can be incredibly expensive as are the machines. Our current insurance cost over $1000 for one study. Going in they were told that we could NOT afford a second night, so if they needed something else done they should do it then. Rather than doing this, they sent me home after 4 hours (woke me up at 2 am to send me home, saying they had 'enough data') and then wanted to schedule another night that would cost half again as much to do the testing they didn't do. They then told me that it could have all been done in one night if I had just asked, at which time I had a major fit. Not rude, just demanding to know who to talk to about their cust svc because they WERE told, at time of scheduling, at time of confirmation (2 days before the study) and at the beginning of the study. they made noises about diong it for free but would not put it in writing and after those first noises about how they could maybe do it for the cost of the first night, they suddenly couldn't talk about the cost in any way. The cost of a sleep study, or what they charged my ins co, was a number so high it absolutely stunned me. It actually cost more than all the charges for my hysterectomy and I was in the hospital for 2 full days with that! Do NOT let that scare you away, just be SURE you understand the full out of pocket cost before you go. Also call a couple of places and have the give you an idea of the costs. Some places charge even more than the one I went to! [/QUOTE]
