Insurance providers often pay for extensive and expensive polysomnography laboratory testing, even though validation studies¹ support home sleep testing. In-home diagnostic sleep testing has proven to be a viable tool for reducing overall costs for both the insurance payor as well as the patient² .

Studies³ have also shown that patients who follow an ambulatory care model (like SleepQuest's) for their Sleep Apnea treatment show an improved quality of life (QOL).

Home-based diagnosis and treatment of Sleep Apnea is a growing and vital field, because medical providers and health insurance companies have realized that early detection allows for cost-effective and comprehensive management of the condition and pre-empts the complicated and expensive consequences of apnea-related diseases such as obesity, hypertension, heart failure, stroke, sexual dysfunction, and depression4.
