I was immediately given a referral to a private Respiratory & Sleep Medicine Physician. We agreed and I chose to do a home sleep study, medicare and $50 co-payment, through a sleep center. I don't have a health care card to receive a free cpap machine, but I could access free care and a Respiratory & Sleep Medicine Physician through my local public hospital outpatients dept. Like you, I self funded an auto cpap, I have since been back to the specialist for a review and have an appointment for a further review. It was my cardiologist who picked up my possible sleep apnoea. I just used my GP to get me a referral for a bulk billed sleep study. I've got an appointment next week with my GP and will ask for another sleep study and maybe through a specialist. I didn't realise that the co payment would be so small so thanks for alerting me.

For auto-cpap, from machine data or software. You can set the min pressure 1 or 2cm below 95%. Or clinicians commonly use the maximum or 95% pressure for fixed pressure CPAP, this can also be used for min pressure. https://aasm.org/resources/practiceparam...rating.pdf

The only caveat is that bulk billing won't let you have two procedures on the same day so your sleep study and titration study will be on different nights. |
