How long to receive titration study results?

Post by SickAndTired » Tue Aug 09, 2005 9:03 am

Just like subject says...

It took them more than a week and a half to get the results of my first sleep study to my doctor.

My doctor's nurse/assistant told me it could take a month and a half, which doesn't sound right to me, but it has now been over 2 weeks.


So, what is a reasonable time to wait for my titration study results, before I start bugging the ?!@$% out of them?

It took about 2 weeks.....for me...the md that reads the results must be from a family of prima donnas. Hang in there

I had a followup schedule for 2 weeks later. When I arrived the doc discovered that he still hadn't received the report! It had to be faxed to him the next day after I'd taken time off and arranged to have my wife with me to discuss the results.

No results so no discussion.

Well i guess it depends on where you live and how the doctors handle their patients. because I had my first sleep study on 6/9/05 then seven days later I got a call from my doctor and he said i had to go back and have a cpap titration that was 6/20/05 and seven days after that my doctor gave me my prescription for my machine and i call the DME and the next day I went in their office and sat with a respiratory therpariest and she gave me my Remstar plus C-Flex and all the supplies So everything went quick and fast and I have no problem with my machine.
