I am writing to formally address a situation regarding my husband’s CPAP machine and the associated testing that he completed in good faith based on medical advice from Dr. Lechin. In November 2025, my husband consulted with Dr. Lechin regarding the need for a CPAP machine. He was advised to complete additional testing—including a brain test, an allergy test, and a two-day overnight sleep study on December 3, 2025—to improve the likelihood of insurance approval and to help meet his deductible. He agreed to proceed with these additional tests solely based on Dr. Lechin’s recommendation. Despite completing all required testing promptly, we were recently informed that his information was not submitted to the third-party CPAP vendor, Texas Home Medical, until January 6, 2026.

I had to take my son here for a pulmonary function test as part of a required medical exam he needed to pass. I was worried about the negative reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised when we entered the clinic. The clinic was clean and modern, and the nurse and physician were polite and professional. I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5, because the entire appointment took 1.5 hours when it should have been under an hour. Also, it took multiple calls to get the office to send my son's test results to where they needed to go.

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.

Frequently asked questions about Texas Institute of Chest & Sleep Disorders
What does Texas Institute of Chest & Sleep Disorders do?
Texas Institute of Chest & Sleep Disorders is a sleep medicine clinic in Houston, TX 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 Texas Institute of Chest & Sleep Disorders?
Many insurance plans require a referral or prior authorization before covering a sleep study. Requirements vary by insurer and by clinic, so contact Texas Institute of Chest & Sleep Disorders directly using the phone number on this page and ask what your plan needs.
How much does a sleep study cost at Texas Institute of Chest & Sleep Disorders?
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 Texas Institute of Chest & Sleep Disorders?
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.
