Sleep Study
DeanJumed offers comprehensive overnight sleep studies to help patients diagnose and treat a range of sleep disorders in a comfortable, clinical environment.
What to Expect During Your Study
During an overnight sleep study at DeanJumed, our clinical team uses advanced diagnostic equipment to monitor your sleep patterns in a comfortable, controlled environment. We continuously track essential physiological data, including your breathing patterns, heart rate, and oxygen levels throughout the night.
The study also records brain activity and eye movements to identify different sleep stages and disruptions. This comprehensive monitoring allows our specialists to accurately diagnose sleep disorders such as apnea, insomnia, or restless leg syndrome, forming the basis for an effective personalized treatment plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
I think I need a sleep study, what should I do?
To begin, you will consult with one of our specialists to review your medical history and evaluate your specific sleep concerns. Following this clinical assessment, the practitioner will issue a formal referral for your diagnostic sleep study. To initiate this process, please contact our office directly or submit a request via our website to have a patient care coordinator assist you with scheduling.
Do I need a referral from my doctor in order to be seen?
Generally, our specialists can evaluate you without an outside referral; however, we recommend verifying your specific insurance coverage as some plans may require a formal recommendation from your primary physician.
Do you accept my insurance?
We participate with many major insurance carriers, including Medicare, Medicaid, and private plans such as BCBS, United Healthcare, and Aetna. Should your specific provider be out-of-network, we offer flexible payment arrangements and competitive self-pay rates. We invite you to contact our team to discuss your benefits.
Another provider referred me; will they be notified of my results?
Certainly. We ensure that all referring physicians receive a detailed copy of our clinical encounter notes along with your complete sleep study data to facilitate seamless care.
Will you treat me, or will I be referred back to my provider?
While we provide end-to-end care for many, we also partner with specific external practices to offer diagnostic testing services exclusively. If you were referred by one of these partner offices, our role is strictly to conduct your sleep study. In this case, you will not have an appointment with our clinical providers. Once your study is finalized, we securely transfer your comprehensive results back to your referring physician, who will then review the findings with you and coordinate your ongoing treatment plan.
I work nightshift, can I have sleep study during the day?
Absolutely. For patients using a home testing kit, you may conduct the assessment during your typical waking hours or your regular bedtime. For clinical lab evaluations, we offer specialized daytime sessions to accommodate night-shift workers. Simply inform our scheduling coordinators of your work hours so we can arrange a time that best aligns with your biological sleep cycle.

Your Results
