We had a wonderful experience at Nemours Children's Health Cardiology department. The medical assistants Amber and Caitlin who performed my daughter’s EKG were very friendly, patient, and thorough, and they made her feel comfortable throughout the process. The sonographer Carlos was also very skilled, kind, and patient. Doctor Sernich was extremely attentive and took the time to ask my daughter many questions without leaving any stone unturned. He gave us a clear action plan on what to do and what to avoid moving forward. The entire team was compassionate and professional; their care truly comes from the heart. ❤️ (pun intended!)

We had such a great experience! Catlin, was absolutely wonderful with my 2 year old daughter — so kind and patient, even explaining each step of the ECG so she knew exactly what to expect. Carlos, who did the EKG, was also amazing and made my daughter feel completely at ease. Dr. Sernich reviewed everything in a very timely manor and we were never waiting long, he then came in to explain all the results in great detail, turning what could have been a scary situation into a very reassuring one. We are so grateful for their care and professionalism! Most medical offices could use them as a PRIME example on how people should be treated!

Wow!! What an amazing group of skilled people in this office. Kaitlyn at the front desk was beyond kind to us from start to finish. She also did an ECG on my child and was so relaxed, patient and gentle with him. Then we went with Gary who did an EKG on my son. Gary was also wonderful and beyond thorough explaining all parts of the heart to us as we watched on the screen. He kept my son comfortable as he worked to ensure he got everything he needed for Dr. Sernich. When Dr. Sernich came in he was so welcoming to us. He introduced himself and got to know my son. He asked my son specific questions to learn exactly what he has been experiencing. Dr. Sernich explained all the results to me, not just with my son’s images and vitals, but also with several diagrams and other photos, making sure

What to expect at a sleep study appointment

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.

What does Nemours Children's Health, Port St. Lucie - Specialty Care do?

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 Nemours Children's Health, Port St. Lucie - Specialty Care?
Many insurance plans require a referral or prior authorization before covering a sleep study. Requirements vary by insurer and by clinic, so contact Nemours Children's Health, Port St. Lucie - Specialty Care directly using the phone number on this page and ask what your plan needs.
How much does a sleep study cost at Nemours Children's Health, Port St. Lucie - Specialty Care?
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 Nemours Children's Health, Port St. Lucie - Specialty Care?
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.
