Home Sleep Apnea Test
If you suffer from 2 or more of the sleep symptoms above, a Home Sleep Apnea Test (HSAT) may be necessary. Most insurance requires patients to take an HSAT before visiting a sleep lab, and for many, it eliminates the need for a sleep lab visit altogether. An HSAT is easy to use in the comfort of your home with 95% accuracy of diagnosing sleep apnea.
Expert Sleep Medicine is the sleep medicine division of Family Allergy & Asthma. HSATs are available at our Metro Louisville Family Allergy & Asthma locations, as well as Expert Sleep Medicine’s offices, located throughout Kentucky and Southern Indiana. Let our sleep experts help you rest easier.
