Dr. Charles Mok explains how Nightlase, an at-home sleep apnea screening device, works: you connect it to your phone, record overnight, and the clinic gets an automated report by morning. It costs less than insurance copays and sidesteps denial delays.
Night lays for sleep apnea. I think everybody should be screened again. The screening test is inexpensive. You don't need to run it through your insurance if you don't want, you know, you want to go through the hassle of your insurance, you know, denying it. But they're not that expensive. It's done at home. You hook it up to your phone with an app, and then it connects to the device. When you go to bed, you start it. When you get up in the morning, you stop it. And the report goes right to your doctor's office, in this case, our office, and we see it right away, and the PA looks at it in the mornings, and we give the patient a call and go over with them.
