Sleep study required for DOT med card.

@Moose1958

is this true, required apnea testing..??

 

There are studies you do at home with bands on your wrist Those are a couple humdred bucks verses the in hospital cost.

 

DOT Physical Exam Locations Nationwide – FMCSA Certified DOT Doctors
maybe try one of those listed.

 

Contact NASTC. Ask for Skip Williams. They can get you an at home sleep study and a zoom call with a doctor. It costs a fraction of the bs places. If you need a cpap they will send you one and get you going with it. They will give you printouts of everything you need and you can get a 1 year medical card.

 

It has to be a specific office thing. If that becomes a universal thing imagine.

 

No. It's the examiner's discretion and a lame excuse they gave him.

 

that's what i thought, but i do not keep up with anything new as far as sleep apnea stuff goes.

clearly (to me at least) that doctor would have recommend HIS place for the testing, and garner MORE money from it as well.

 

Check
The
DOT rules book.
Sleep Apnea Test has been requested by Trucking Companies and Insurance companies alike for the last 8 to 10 years. It is a growing trend that is only going to get worst due to a large number of Deadly accidents in our highways.
