Home Sleep Test (HSAT)
A Home Sleep Apnea Test (HSAT)—also known as a home sleep apnea test—is a simplified way for patients to be evaluated for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in the comfort of their own home. The device records your breathing, oxygen, and heart rate while you sleep, allowing your physician to determine if pauses in breathing are occurring overnight.
At TriCity Lung & Sleep, we coordinate every step of the process to make it easy for both patients and referring providers. Once your physician determines that a home test is appropriate, our team reviews your medical history and insurance coverage before scheduling your test. We handle the logistics, provide instructions, and ensure the results are interpreted by a board-certified sleep medicine physician in accordance with American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) guidelines.
What to Expect
Most patients are surprised by how easy home testing is. The small monitoring device is typically worn overnight and records airflow, oxygen saturation, respiratory effort, and heart rate. You’ll return the device the next day—either by drop-off or mail—and our team reviews the data promptly. Once interpreted, we’ll contact you and your referring provider with the official report and next steps.
Our Role in Your Care
While every home sleep test requires a physician order, we work directly with both patients and providers to simplify the process. Our staff confirms medical appropriateness, verifies insurance benefits, manages authorizations, and ensures timely communication between all parties. Our goal is to make testing seamless, accurate, and aligned with your overall treatment plan.
