What the Physician Needs to Know:
Process for Ordering a Sleep Study:
Direct Scheduling
- Physicians may refer their patients directly to the Clark & Daughtrey Pulmonary Department. Patients referred to the Pulmonary Department will receive a Comprehensive Sleep Evaluation prior to a sleep study being scheduled. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine highly recommends a Comprehensive Sleep Evaluation for every patient prior to a sleep study.
- You may refer directly to Polk Starlight Sleep Lab, by having your office call or fax a sleep order form along with patient demographics and insurance information. The coordinator will call your patient directly to schedule the sleep study. Your office will receive a faxed confirmation when your patient is scheduled.
Express Scheduling
- Simply call Marla, the Polk Starlight Sleep Lab Coordinator, 863-688-2700. Give her the patient name, contact phone number and the type of sleep study ordered; she will contact your patient and complete the scheduling process.
What to expect after the Sleep Study is complete:
- If you referred your patient to the Clark & Daughtrey Pulmonary Department, the pulmonary physicians will follow up on your patient’s sleep therapy, including ordering and monitoring CPAP compliance. You will receive all sleep reports from Clark & Daughtrey.
- If you referred your patient directly to the Polk Star Light Sleep Lab, within 2 days of the completed study, you will receive a scored but un-read copy of the study. Sleep studies are read by one of the Lab’s four reading physicians. After the study is read, a final copy will be sent to you. You will be responsible for ordering a second night study (if indicated), follow-up, and possible CPAP order for your patients.
