    I need to find an affordable sleep test AND cpap.

    I have called the local sleep study clinics. $1700 for the study alone. Then $600+ for cpap and mask etc.

    I have checked out HOME sleep studies. $350. That's affordable until they tell you the cpap is $1400. They won't give you a prescription so you can buy a top of the line cpap for $175-$350 online.

    I don't have insurance. My company doesn't offer it. Even if they did, I would be looking at an $1800 deductible.

    I know this whole thing is a racket but DOT has me by the short hairs.

    Is there some affordable way to do this?
