    All the big companys are pusing this and they say thier insurance covers the machine
    And everything its a lye they dont cover the machine u pay 1500 dollars for it
    So always ask if they test for dmi or sleep study if you take it it means u have too wear a mask
    And take sleeping peels and take your machine in 1once a month too keep your dot card
    If you dont you lose your cdl

    I paid over $3000 for it all and I had insurance. They took me to the cleaners. I don't even wear it. You look like the Kirby vacuum cleaner man laying in bed! :)

    It's a money grab plain and simple. A lot of these clinics are steering drivers to sleep labs. If you have options you have to try find registered clinics that don't normally get trucker traffic. I went to one of these chains were my old company sent me 2 yrs ago and they wanted me to take a study. Now the same medical chain has increased offices since they have to be registered. I went to the chains new office and it was a total different experience, they treated me like a regular customer.
