Sleep apnea and compliance reporting?

So I went through the stages of being diagnosed with sleep apnea. I went on my own accord, not because of a DOT examiner making me.

Anyways, after sleep study, I renewed my med card and then she said I had to go for sleep study. Little did she know I already had one.

I now finally have my machine and having a hard time with compliance as I’ve only had it for 3 weeks and takes time to get used to.

My concern is that I’m moving to Florida from NY next month and will obviously be getting a job there. Im assuming they will require new medical card as most new jobs do.

My concern in that eventually I WILL be in compliance by then (4hrs a night 70%of the time). But I use it while I’m napping also so my usage is broken up throughout the day. Do the examiners look at if your usage is broken up or only if you have the 4hrs a day??

also, would they even know that I was told get a sleep study from a DOT examiner in Ny??

 

I actually have a Resvent iBreeze 20A. I got the run around with insurance so I bought this one outright.

it has an SD card and I pop it in my laptop and I see all my data. I events are at 2 per hour but my compliance is 40% right now concerning the 4hrs a day.

I wasn’t sure though if the hours had to be consecutive or not. Thanks for answering that!

 

Ft. Myers and I do have a job lined up, however I’m still looking to see if there’s possibly a better opportunity

 

I get that, but what happens if they flag me for apnea and want me to get a sleep study. They will then know I lied about having been diagnosed

 

There’s no penalty for lying??
