Medicare changes
Direct referrals for sleep studies require evidence of an Epworth Sleepiness Score of 8 or more AND a positive screening test (either OSA 50 score of 5 or more, high risk score on the Berlin Questionnaire, STOPBANG score of 3 or more).
There are many patients with clinically significant sleep disorders who do not meet these criteria and they should be referred to a sleep physician for further evaluation.
