Question:
How important is the letter from the sleep specialist??

I had an appointment with the sleep specialist today he told me that I had periods of Apnea however I did not have enough distress for a diagnosis of Sleep Apnea. I have letters for other doctors that have Sleep Apnea listed as a co-morbid//how important is the letter from the sleep specialsit//Can I just use the other letters and get an approval?    — Egypt Tashica R.

Egypt I know that it is MEGA important to have the test because my surgeon basically won't look any further if you haven't had it but you don't have to have sleep apnea to have the surgery. I have 6 friends that have had it and only 3 of us had sleep apnea. Good Luck Peggy open rny 9/20 -30#'s
