For study, you sleep with a wrist watch type device, an oxygen sensor on one finger & 1 electrode on chest. 4 hrs & it auto sends all data off for analysis.

You can go to sleepdoctor.com, put in medicare policy info (no credit card info required!) & get approval in a couple of days, then they ship the test kit out, you do the study & you will know.

I would first message primary care provider because medicare likes to see you discussed this with provider first.

I have standard medicare & they pay all costs for test & all cpap supplies, including machine.
