Cash or insurance?
At the one hospital here that publishes insurer rates for this code, the cash price is below the highest rate a health plan has negotiated. If you have insurance but have not met your deductible, you usually pay your plan's negotiated rate, which falls somewhere in the "Insurers pay" column. Paying cash can cost less, but a cash payment usually does not count toward your deductible. Ask the hospital for both numbers before you book.
What it is
A home sleep apnea test uses a small device you wear overnight in your own bed to record breathing, breathing effort, oxygen level and heart rate. It is used to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea in adults who are likely to have it.
What the price covers
The price usually covers the use of the device and the scoring of the recording. The sleep physician's interpretation may be billed separately, and the CPAP machine, if needed, is bought separately.
