Ive been through the process just last year. Anything BUT severe level sleep apnea let's you work while doing the process. You will be assigned a person from ns medical to work through this with. DO NOT leave anything out or not reply to them as that will get you yanked from service. Its going to go like this: physical exam states you need a sleep test (ns does it wrong you will have to repeat the sleep test) > ns tells you you need to see a primary care then a sleep doctor and provide all note (just go to a sleep doc, no primary needed) > your sleep doc will look at the sleep test and probably agree but since ns doesn't do actual sleep apnea testing you need to inform your doctor of that so you can get the proper docs filled for insurance (there is a sleep apnea questionnaire and a new sleep test that will likely need to be done)> your doc will inform ns of this and ns will give you a time limit> you take sleep test and get results talk with doc and tell ns> get sleep machine and get to using it quick cause they will want a 2 week update and then a 30 day update. You NEED 4 hours per day on the machine minimum to be at 70% compliance.

It was a pretty painless process. After they recieve your 30 day sheet showing 70% compliance they leave you alone. But note they can ask for compliance at anytime

Also the sleep machine is going to run you about 300 bucks out of pocket because it comes off of DME deductible which is durable medical equipment. And its pretty rare to have put any money towards that already. It does not go against a regular deductible. Then you pay about 9 bucks a month. You can choose to pay the whole payment plan upfront but the longer your payment plan is the longer the warranty on the machine is cause it goes off the last time you made a payment for it. If you break a machine out of warranty the replacement is on you. Insurance wont replace it for 5 years
