This is got to be one of the best hospitals in the world. From what I seen so far Duke has great staffing, and coordinating with their staff. Now I truly understand why it cost to come to school here. Their nurses are the best of the best. And the security here is pretty good, it could be more tight nipped but I guess they don't want to seem to over- barring.

Angels the entire team at Duke University hospital are pur angels. My mother had been in the hospital at Ballard health in Tennessee 6 times within 5 months we drove 5 hours to take my mother to get the best care possible and THAT she received everyone we encountered was very professional and extremely nice. no waiting, what typically would have took ballad health 4 hours to accomplish duke had it done in 15 minutes very clean facility ,bathrooms and all. It will definitely be very hard to go to another hospital that isn't Duke seeing how real doctors and nurses are suppose to be. So thank you Duke University hospital for giving my family and I some more time with my mother.

But knowing what lies ahead I will drive that 4 hours anytime to get to Duke

What to expect at a sleep study appointment
For an in-lab study, you arrive in the evening and sleep in a private room while sensors record breathing, oxygen, heart rhythm and body movement. For a home sleep test, the clinic gives you a portable kit you use in your own bed. Neither test is painful. Results are usually compiled into a physician report within one to two weeks, and the clinic then discusses whether treatment — such as CPAP therapy or an oral appliance — is needed.
Preparation basics: avoid caffeine in the afternoon, skip lotions and hair products, bring comfortable sleepwear, and take your regular medications unless your doctor advises otherwise.

Frequently asked questions about Duke University Hospital
What does Duke University Hospital do?
Duke University Hospital is a sleep medicine clinic in Durham, NC that evaluates and treats sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea, chronic insomnia, restless legs syndrome and narcolepsy. Evaluation usually involves a sleep study, and treatment may include CPAP therapy, an oral appliance, or behavioral therapy depending on the diagnosis.
Do I need a referral to book a sleep study at Duke University Hospital?
Many insurance plans require a referral or prior authorization before covering a sleep study. Requirements vary by insurer and by clinic, so contact Duke University Hospital directly using the phone number on this page and ask what your plan needs.
How much does a sleep study cost at Duke University Hospital?
Sleep study costs vary widely with the type of test, your insurance plan and your deductible. Home sleep tests generally cost less than in-lab studies. Ask the clinic for an itemized estimate and check with your insurer about in-network rates before booking.
Does insurance cover sleep studies and CPAP treatment?
Most US insurers, including Medicare, cover sleep studies and CPAP therapy when they are medically necessary and properly documented. Coverage details — deductibles, co-pays and supply replacement schedules — differ by plan, so verify with your insurer and the clinic.
How long does it take to get sleep study results?
Typically one to two weeks. A sleep physician reviews the recorded data and writes a report, after which the clinic discusses the findings and any recommended treatment with you.
Can I do the sleep study at home?
Possibly. Home sleep apnea tests suit many adults with a high likelihood of obstructive sleep apnea and no major heart or lung conditions. If your symptoms are complex or the home test is negative despite strong symptoms, an in-lab study is usually the next step. The clinic can determine which option fits you.
What should I bring to my appointment at Duke University Hospital?
Comfortable sleepwear, your photo ID and insurance card, a list of current medications, and your own pillow if that helps you sleep. Avoid caffeine after midday and skip lotions or hair products, because sensors attach better to clean skin.
