    Rule number 1,do not go to Concentra, they act like it's the law so they can make money.

    NO....
    Mandatory Sleep Apnea Test is Off the Table FOR NOW. But.....every time you go for a MEDICAL, be very consious of your answers to the questionare. Your answers can open a "Can of Worms". Happy Trails..!!
