Sleep study

Has anyone been to the VCU Center for Sleep Medicine and been diagnosed with Sleep Apnea, If so what is the next step?

I don't have sleep apnea but my best guess is they will tell you what comes next - whether you need a CPAP machine or not - then your insurance should tell you what they do or do not cover....... But someone who has been diagnosed will know better than I do - I just didn't want you to think we were ignoring you... Jackie

Thanks Jackie, i appreciate your response.

I am a patient at another office in Richmond.  My diagnosis went like this: initial appt with sleep disorder center, two sleep studies - diagnosed with severe sleep apnea, "prescription" was written for a cpap machine and what pressure it should have along with a referral to a place that sells and maintains cpap machines (different than the sleep disorder doctors office), that company processed my prescription and found out what my benefits were, I received my machine maybe a few weeks later.  I honestly can't remember if I paid a co-pay or not, or even a portion of the machine?  But I must have faired well because I don't remember any big bills.  Under my insurance plan I am allowed to get a new mask and headgear about every 6months.  But if I ever needed any filters or anything else in the meantime it was affordable. Good luck!
