Quality sleep testing begins with the right diagnostic approach. At Dream Sleep Medicine, we offer two evidence-based testing options—each designed to provide accurate, actionable results under the guidance of our board-certified sleep physician.
Whether you need the convenience of home testing or the comprehensive monitoring of our AASM-accredited sleep laboratory, our focus remains the same: precise diagnosis, clear answers, and a personalized treatment plan.
Which Test Do I Need? Decision Guide
The type of sleep study you need depends on your symptoms, medical history, and the complexity of your sleep disorder. Here's a quick guide:
Home Sleep Testing May Be Appropriate If:
- You have symptoms suggesting obstructive sleep apnea (snoring, witnessed pauses, daytime fatigue)
- You don't have significant heart, lung, or neurological conditions
- You're not currently on oxygen therapy
- You prefer the convenience and comfort of your own bed
- You want faster results and lower costs
In-Lab Testing Is Recommended If:
- You have complex medical conditions (heart failure, COPD, stroke, neuromuscular disease)
- You experience unusual sleep behaviors (sleepwalking, sleep terrors, REM behavior disorder)
- Home testing was inconclusive or negative despite strong symptoms
- You need CPAP/BiPAP pressure titration
- You're being evaluated for HGNS or other neuromodulation therapy
- Your physician suspects central sleep apnea, narcolepsy, or periodic limb movements

FAQ
-
Q: Do I need a referral for a sleep study?
Most insurance plans require a physician referral or order for sleep testing. If you don't have a sleep specialist, we can arrange a consultation with Dr. Jain to evaluate whether testing is appropriate.
-
Q: How long does it take to get results?
Home sleep test results are typically available within 3-5 business days. In-lab polysomnography results are usually ready within 5-7 business days. Complex studies may take slightly longer to ensure thorough physician review.
-
Q: Will my insurance cover sleep testing?
Most insurance plans, including Medicare, cover medically necessary sleep studies when ordered by a physician. We verify benefits prior to testing and provide cost estimates for your specific plan.
-
Q: What's the difference between an accredited lab and a hospital sleep center?
Both AASM-accredited independent labs and hospital-based centers meet the same diagnostic standards. However, independent labs often offer faster scheduling, more personalized service, and significantly lower facility fees—resulting in lower patient out-of-pocket costs.
-
Q: Can I choose between home and in-lab testing?
Testing type depends on your specific symptoms and medical conditions. Our physician will recommend the most appropriate option based on clinical guidelines. If home testing is suitable and you prefer it, we fully support that choice.
