⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Lauren Davis and the entire team at Pontchartrain Sleep Medicine. From my very first visit, Dr. Davis took the time to thoroughly explain my sleep study results, answer my questions, and develop a treatment plan that addressed not only my sleep apnea but also my long-term health goals. I never felt rushed, and I always felt heard. What truly sets this practice apart is the incredible staff. Jennifer and Courtney went above and beyond while helping me navigate a very challenging insurance appeal for my medication. They were patient, responsive, compassionate, and incredibly knowledgeable throughout the process. They took the time to explain each step, gather documentation, communicate with the insurance company, and advocate on my behalf. A

Dr. Lauren Davis was remarkable! She made us feel like the most important patients she has ever had. She took the time to completely explain everything. She found issues that a previous company had missed, made adjustments to my husband’s cpap on the spot. I don’t think I have ever been more comfortable with a doctor on first visit as we were with her. She’s a keeper. Her staff was equally phenomenal! Highly recommended!

I had a great experience at Pontchartrain Sleep Medicine in Covington! After trying for months and failing to get something for my insomnia that actually works from my PCP, mental health prescriber, and gynecologist, I saw Theresa Talbot and she was amazing! She gave me an Rx for Lunesta, the office worked to get pre-approval so my insurance would cover it after they initially refused it, and I have a sleep study scheduled in one week. I feel like someone is finally taking my sleep issues seriously and is looking into the root cause to get me the most effective help and relief. 5/5 stars for Pontchartrain Sleep Medicine!

Very nice people ,BUT...they are seriously over booked with patients. First, they did a home sleep study, which turned out to be useless because this was a change from CPAP to BiPAP. Wait a month for an in-lab study. Wait two weeks for the results. Then they didn't have my size mask. Had to wait another month for mask and machine. Mask didn't seal properly --they should have tested it on me before I left. Keep in mind that in 3 visits I never saw the one and only MD, just PAs and NPs. So 3 months and no working mask/machine. Medical care, anyone?

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 Pontchartrain Sleep Medicine
What does Pontchartrain Sleep Medicine do?
Pontchartrain Sleep Medicine is a sleep medicine clinic in Covington, LA 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 Pontchartrain Sleep Medicine?
Many insurance plans require a referral or prior authorization before covering a sleep study. Requirements vary by insurer and by clinic, so contact Pontchartrain Sleep Medicine directly using the phone number on this page and ask what your plan needs.
How much does a sleep study cost at Pontchartrain Sleep Medicine?
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 Pontchartrain Sleep Medicine?
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.
