    I am looking at starting with CRST within the next couple of months and I had a concern that I was hoping I could get some help with.

    A few years ago I was diagnosed with sleep apnea and prescribed a CPAP. Over the years I have lost my job and insurance but I do continue with the treatments.

    Will CRST require me to have a recent sleep study?

    I have read that some companies will do the sleep study themselves and provide you with treatment if necessary but I can't find anything on it in any of the material that CRST has sent to me.

    I don't really know the answer to this. I don't see why they would require that it would be less money for them. Call a recruiter.

    I think only if the person doing your physical wants it.

    It would be best that you get your sleep data by printing the data from your cpap or bipap machine and bring it with you. The reading needs to be an AHI of less than 5. I use a bipap and it works great. It keeps my apnea down. Gives me enough energy for the whole day or night for the 14 hr rule.

    If you are in the same boat I am, your C-Pap is too old and does not have a data card. If so you will be required to have a MWT test which will cost you about $700 and take about two or more weeks to get the results back. If that is the case you would be better off paying for the MWT first so you don't have to go back home schedule the test and waste a bunch of time like I just did. Just wait til I have time to post the description of the horrific freaking weekend I just had with Crete!
