Patient Referrals and Tests
Back
to Pediatric Sleep Lab Home Page
Studies are performed
only with a physician referral. Patients referred to the Pediatric Sleep
Laboratory should have a complete physical examination and reason
for the test clearly stated. Referrals from physicians should ideally be
available one to two weeks prior to a scheduled study in order to facilitate
precertification
when necessary.
Although not a requirement, patients are encouraged to be seen in the Sleep
Clinic for “Pre-Sleep Study Screening” to better identify pertinent sleep-related
respiratory issues that may become problematic during the study. Pre- Sleep
Study evaluation may also help to tailor the study specifically for the problem
in question.
For more information regarding the Pediatric Sleep Lab, or to schedule a pre-sleep study screening, please call 314-251-5880. To arrange for a sleep study directly, please call the Sleep Lab Scheduling line at 314-251-7394.
