Hi. I have ALS however I don't think that some tests are necessary. I've seen some of the costs already and they are extremely high. The latest test is a sleep study to be done this Wed. I am going to cancel on Monday. I said to my Dr. that sometimes as I begin to sleep that I needed to catch my breath. That only happened during a short period and only when my nose was stuffed. She then said I need a sleep study test. Am I missing something or is there a reason why my insurance co. should cover this cost?
BTW my breathing test was excellent.
