Complete Care: Home Sleep Apnea Test (HSAT)
General
Once you take our online sleep assessment, you will be shown the results immediately. If you would like to purchase the Complete Care home sleep diagnostic package, you will schedule a 15-minute telehealth visit with a healthcare provider to discuss your symptoms, upcoming sleep study, test results, and potential treatment options. A multi-night, disposable home sleep apnea test is mailed to your house to be completed at your convenience, and a physician will analyze your study and provide a prescription if needed.
Home sleep apnea tests and telehealth services are now available nationwide.
Sleep Care online is not a healthcare provider. We arrange for healthcare providers to assess this technology platform to provide clinical services.
Sleep studies range in cost from around $2,500 to $5,000, while the home sleep apnea test is much more affordable at $219 (original: $399).
Sleep Care online has partnered with The CPAP Shop to offer our Complete Care patients an opportunity to purchase their sleep equipment online. The CPAP Shop sleep experts are available to discuss equipment options, including the best CPAP machines, masks, and supplies to fit your needs. The CPAP Shop can be reached at 866.414.9700.

Our Complete Care package costs $219 (normally $399). For this one-time fee, you receive a 15-minute one-on-one telehealth consult via Zoom with a medical healthcare provider, a disposable home sleep apnea test, and a prescription for sleep therapy if needed. During your appointments, you will discuss your symptoms, the sleep study, and results, as well as treatment options.
Additional physician follow-up care is also available at $50 an appointment. This allows you to continue your care with the healthcare provider and is recommended on an individual basis.
Our SleepRx package costs $79. For this one-time fee, existing PAP users receive one 15-minute telehealth visit with a sleep expert (physician, physician assistant, or nurse practitioner) to discuss current PAP treatment and prescription renewal.

Home Sleep Test
WatchPAT ONE E, the sleep testing device we offer, works alongside the WatchPAT® ONE application. This app can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play on either a smartphone or tablet.
For our video telehealth visits, you will need to sign on via a desktop, laptop, tablet, or phone with a camera.
In 2007, after extensive study, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) endorsed the use of portable monitoring for qualified people. A sleep physician can determine if you qualify.
There are several reasons to choose a home sleep apnea test (HSAT) over a traditional in-lab study.
A home sleep apnea test can be completed in the comfort of your own bed. You don’t have to worry about trying to fall asleep in an unfamiliar setting with various wires or nodes hooked up to you and someone monitoring you as you sleep. Studies show that comfort and familiarity will lead to better results.
Cost is another important consideration. An in-lab sleep test can run in the thousands of dollars and insurance may cover only a portion or nothing at all. An HSAT is a cost-effective way to determine if you suffer from sleep apnea.
An in-lab test requires you to schedule your appointment. Sleep labs are often booked months in advance and require you to make additional considerations, such as alternative care for your children or pets. An HSAT can be completed immediately with results in less than a week and requires no change to your daily schedule.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common form of sleep-disordered breathing by far. Our home sleep apnea test (HSAT) determines the presence of OSA. An in-lab study is more comprehensive, testing for a number of less common problems, and is much more expensive. In addition, our HSAT is less expensive than a traditional lab sleep test because there is no cost for a night in a specialized facility or the significant additional equipment and labor cost involved in a traditional, more comprehensive sleep test. Additionally, we have streamlined the process to make it efficient and less expensive to the user.
Although you are applying the test yourself, the device is quite sophisticated and accurately records the results. With step-by-step instructions available within the WatchPAT ONE application or as a video on our website, setting up the device itself should be simple to do.
Once your sleep study is complete, a sleep specialist will write a prescription for the recommended treatment (CPAP therapy, dental appliance, eXcite OSA, etc). Our Sleep Care online team will send over the prescription to you immediately. You can also choose to have us send the prescription to your referral physician or dentist, or to an e-commerce retailer such as The CPAP Shop. We’re here to make it easy to get you started on the therapy that you need.
SimpleRx Prescription Renewal
Yes! Through our SimpleRx program, a current PAP user can easily renew their prescription. Simply schedule a 10-minute telehealth consult with a sleep expert (may be a physician, physician assistant or nurse practitioner) to discuss your current PAP equipment, settings, and experience. An updated PAP prescription will be provided.
SimpleRx is currently available nationwide.
SimpleRx, our prescription renewal service, includes a quick 10-minute telehealth visit with a sleep expert (may be a physician, physician assistant, or nurse practitioner). During the visit, our sleep experts will review your current PAP usage, settings, and other pertinent data you can provide. If warranted, an updated prescription will be provided.
If you have not been previously diagnosed with OSA via an in-lab sleep study or home sleep test, or if you are not currently being treated with PAP therapy, you do not qualify for SimpleRx. You will need to complete a sleep study in order to receive a prescription. Fortunately, Sleep Care online offers an affordable, convenient option. Our Complete Care package bundles together a home sleep apnea test, one telehealth consultation with a board-certified sleep healthcare practitioner, and a prescription.
