DOES YOUR INSURANCE COVER HOME SLEEP APNEA TESTING? The Affordable Care Act allowed insurance will continue to cover sleep testing as long as it is prescribed by a physician. The only costs patients have to pick up are the deductible and co-pay as designated in their insurance plans. The biggest most notable change is the shift in the healthcare industry towards results-oriented treatment. ARE YOU ORDERING YOUR CREDENTIALS CORRECTLY? The order in which you list your credentials should be in order of significance and value. The order signals which certifications are permanent (like a degree) and which are non-permanent (like a state requirement that has renewal requirements). According to the American RBD: THE KICKING AND SCREAMING SLEEP DISORDER RBD is a sleep disorder that common presents itself in older men and causes people who suffer from it to physically act out their dreams. Its cause is unknown, but its effects can be terrifying. Most of us experience dreams, but thanks to REM suppression of muscle activity, we don’t have persistent physical reactions to them.
