[QUOTE="pickup, post: 621074"] I hear what you are saying hurricane, I think the practical application of this is going to be the gp first , during a dot exam. Most drivers aren't going to give answers that will make them more likely to be sent to the sleep specialist. So, The bmi tests (along with a few other objective quick tests) will be used to see if the "patient" needs to go to a sleep specialist. Then the sleep specialist will determine the next step. My only concern is that then gp doesn't have a monetary interest to sending you to a sleep specialist and/or that the sleep specialist doesn't have a financial interest in sending you to a sleep center(i.e. he has an ownership stake in it) We'll see how it turns out.
