Discover Precise Home Sleep Apnea Test Results

Sleep labs only consider the results of a single sleep. In contrast, our home sleep apnea testing is defined by a multi-night structure, allowing us to analyze your sleep for up to 30 nights. In the event these tests are insufficient to support your diagnostic needs, we offer Sleep-Lab quality home sleep testing. Essentially the same test you do in the lab, but at home. As a result, we anticipate that less than one in twenty patients will require in-lab testing following our at-home diagnostic alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most common questions about sleep apnea testing and treatment at SAIF Sleep.

• Do you take my insurance?

We accept most insurers in our local market. However, some insurers have maintained a close network to our services (such as Key Benefits – Lee Health). However, we offer competitive self-pay prices that should save you a lot even if you were to use your insurance through a large healthcare system. You may then send the bill to your insurance to request reimbursement (when allowed by insurers).

Can I Self-Pay?

Yes. We offer competitive self pay pricing for visits and services, as well as evaluation Self-Pay Bundles.

How quickly can I be seen or tested?

We can see you today, tested tonight, and receive results tomorrow. Occasionally prior authorization is required, and when that is the case testing may be delayed by about 1 week. But we understand the process with insurance and under most circumstances we can complete the workup within 48 hours of your call.

Inspire?

Yes. We evaluate, activate, and fine-tune Inspire™.

Zepbound (Tirzepitide)?

Yes. We evaluated and prescribe Zepbound for qualifying patients. However, prescription coverage will be determined by your insurance plan. We will assist with any required prior authorization.

Do you have any self-pay discounts?

Yes. We offer competitive Self-Pay discounts. We build SAIF with health care costs in mind. Under most circumstances, the entire workup for sleep apnea will cost only one fraction of the co-pay for a Lab-Test that may be covered by your insurance at a local hospital labs.
