It's going to be difficult to be hired with only a 3 month card.
Probably have to do the sleep study and use a CPAP machine to record it.FlaSwampRat, Puppage and Edd03 Thank this. -
What’s the reason for only getting a 3 month card?

You can go to another Dr for a second opinion/ physical but you have to disclose your previous Dr’s findings.
Not disclosing it is considered Dr shopping.
Unfortunately you’d be hard pressed to find another Dr to go against the first one.
Hopefully you have insurance to cover the study because from what I heard it’s very expensiveFlaSwampRat Thanks this. -
Dan.S Thanks this.

You'll need to prove 30 days of compliance, IF it's determined you have sleep apnea and need CPAP therapy, before they will issue you a 1 year card.

I had concentra do the same thing to me. They said my tongue was too close to my tonsil or something similar. I went to a different place and got a 2 year med card. I’ve gone to the same guy like 6 years now and never had issues.
I’ve also recommended this doctors office countless times and no one had issues with getting certified.born&raisedintheusa and Chinatown Thank this.
