Benefits of Home Sleep Testing

Simply put, we anticipate that less than 1 in 20 patients in our sleep center will require in-lab sleep testing. Our state of the art home sleep tests offer practically all, and sometimes more, of the capabilities of a sleep lab. One such benefit is multi-night testing. The ability to test you at home, for diagnosis or treatment, for up to 30 nights in a row.

Improving Patient Outcomes

Our outcomes… your sleep. And we are obsessed with your sleep. It is our way of thanking you for trusting us with your sleep care.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Why did you decide to open a solo practice?

I feel the only way we can do our best is if we dedicate all our energy and resources to what we do… help you sleep. Although multi-specialty practices are great in many circumstances, healthcare systems tend to focus their attention/resources to their most profitable services. At SAIF, sleep is our only focus.

Do you take my insurance?

We are working hard to include all insurers in our local market. However, some take longer than others. This may cause some delays in seeing some patients. But we will make it work.

Can I pay cash?

Yes. We offer 30-50% discounts when insurance is not used. For example, during our opening discounts event, a home sleep apnea test starts as low as 100$, and initial visits as low as 125$. We also offer care bundles and working with credit providers (such as carecredit) to further lower costs for our uninsured. We will continue to look and adjust these prices in the future to make sure we can continue to meet the needs of our community.

How quickly can I be seen or tested?

We are just opening, so at this moment we can likely see you within a few days. Testing happens the night we see you, and we have your results the next day as early as you can schedule to discuss.

Inspire?

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

Do you have any cash discounts?

We have cash discounts until December 1, 2024:

Initial Office Visit 125$ (compared to 250$)

Follow up visits 65$ (compared to 130$)

Home Sleep Testing (TIER 1): 100$

Home Sleep Testing (TIER 2): 135$

“SAIF Sleep has changed my life. The home sleep test was so convenient, and now I sleep soundly every night.”

The doctor was incredibly thorough. The nurses stayed late to help me.

Dr. Ernesto was amazing. Took his time explaining things to me.

Probably the nicest doctor I’ve ever met. Very professional, very clean environment, and very clear and precise instructions.
