Well, when I was tested, I was tested in Phoenix. However at that time, I was living up above Flagstaff, at the Grand Canyon. Now THAT is a big difference in elevation!
Also, most machines now do an "automatic" correct for elevation changes. Otherwise any OTR trucker using them would likely have a problem due to the constant change in locations and altitudes where they are using the machine.

How do I "Demonstrate that Apnea is controlled"? THis is one of the things required of me to pass my Physical with PAM. I have no idea what it is. THanks

One company my uncle worked for required him to have a sleep study done to prove his apnea was under control.
hend1048 Thanks this. -
Did he have it when he started working for them? How do you know if you have it without spending over 3 Grand? Is it just snoring or what?

My husband is supposed to get a sleep study done. He got a 3 month physical card as well. IF he is told he needs a C-PAP machine, how will he be able to get a readout to get his 1 or 2 year physical card?
Insurance kicks in Dec 1st, sleep study & new physical need to be done by 12/20th. Can this be done? -

When has sleep apnea become apart of the DOT physical?
If my doc tries to pull a "you need to have a sleep apnea study done" stunt that will be the last time he will ever see me in his office again.
