The WatchPAT features a wrist sensor, pulse oximeter, and chest sensor. The device uses three points of contact – the wrist, finger, and neck – to collect data for seven key sleep apnea metrics. 

The device measures central and obstructive sleep apnea events, true sleep time, snoring, breathing rates, oxygen saturation levels, heart rate, your body's position, and how much time you spend in each sleep stage. 

Designed for comprehensive results, our sleep test helps your doctor make an informed diagnosis and therapy recommendations. The WatchPAT's sensors send data directly to a doctor via your cell phone's Bluetooth. 

If you opt for an overnight study at a sleep lab, expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $3,000 for your stay. 

At-home sleep tests are much more affordable by comparison. Our test costs $189 and includes a virtual consultation with a board-certified sleep specialist to make sure you are a candidate for a sleep study. 

We also accept most major insurance providers, and you can pay as little as $0* out of pocket for your test when you go through insurance.

*Based on claims data, eligible insured patients may pay as little as $0 for the home sleep study and related consultations. Actual out-of-pocket costs vary by insurance plan, deductible, coinsurance, and coverage. We will provide your out-of-pocket cost prior to your first consultation. Cost does not include any post-diagnosis medication or treatment, if and when prescribed. Check your coverage at the link on this page.

No, the WatchPAT One Home Sleep Study cannot be used by children under 18 years of age. The device is designed and calibrated for adult use, and its accuracy may be affected by the smaller size of a child’s fingers.

If a sleep disorder is suspected in a child, it’s important to consult with a healthcare provider who can recommend the appropriate diagnostic tools tailored to pediatric needs.

Home Sleep Studies are only available for U.S. residents 18 years of age and older.

Upon receiving your insurance information, Sleep Doctor will verify your coverage and provide you with the details and out of pocket cost via email within 3 business days.

Please note: If you’re planning to use insurance for CPAP or other sleep apnea treatment in the future, choose to pay with insurance now. Patients who start with a cash-pay sleep study and later use insurance for treatment often need to complete a new insurance-approved sleep study.

Once we've verified your insurance benefits and determined your estimated coverage, we'll email you a summary of your expected costs for each step of the process.

Your sleep study journey includes three separate services:

1. Pre-test consultation: After benefits verification, you'll receive an email with a link to schedule your pre-test consultation. Payment for this visit is due before your appointment. You’ll meet with a licensed provider to discuss your symptoms, sleep concerns, and determine whether a home sleep study is appropriate for you.

2. Home Sleep Study: If it’s determined that a Home Sleep Study is the best next step for you, we’ll ship your device to your home and you’ll complete your sleep test from the comfort of your own bed. Payment for the sleep study is due before the device is shipped.

3. Results review consultation: Once you’ve completed the test, your sleep study data will be sent securely to your provider and we’ll email you a link to schedule your results review consultation. You’ll meet with them to review your results, discuss your diagnosis (if any), and talk through recommended next steps. Payment for this visit is due before your appointment.

Your insurance may apply different copays, coinsurance, or deductibles to each part of your care:

• Your pre-test consultation
• Your home sleep study
• Your results review consultation
  
  To make the process easier, you'll typically make two payments. The exact amount you owe depends on your insurance plan and benefits.

Out of pocket costs for Home Sleep Studies vary depending on your insurance plan. While some plans cover the full cost, you may still be responsible for a copay, deductible, or coinsurance. We will verify your insurance and provide you with your actual costs, then you can decide if it is more cost effective for you to use your insurance or to pay cash. 

Terminology:

Copay: A copay is a fixed amount of money you pay for a health care service, like a doctor’s visit, every time you go. For example, you might pay $20 when you see the doctor, and your insurance covers the rest.

Deductible: A deductible is the amount of money you have to pay for health care services before your insurance starts to help pay. If your deductible is $500, you have to pay the first $500 of your medical bills, and then your insurance will start paying for the rest.

Coinsurance: Coinsurance is the percentage of the cost of a medical service that you have to pay after you’ve met your deductible. For example, if you have 20% coinsurance, you pay 20% of the cost, and your insurance pays the other 80%.

Sleep Doctor doesn’t set the prices that insurance providers require. Occasionally, the cost set by your insurance provider may be higher than the price of purchasing the Home Sleep Study directly through us without using insurance. Additionally, insurance often requires separate billing for your pre-test consultation, the testing unit, and the post-test consultation. When you choose to pay cash, all of these costs are bundled.
