"Yeah, my name is [REDACTED] and I'm just responding to your questionnaire. My frustration was that I had a sleep study like in the beginning of November and I couldn't get in to see the sleep study lab person until a month and a half later. And so that was pretty frustrating because it kind of affects my insurance because it's at the end of the year. And so that's my frustration. So that's it."

"It has nothing to do with the joy. It has something to do with setting up the Inspire. It's piecemealed. You know, the doctor does the surgery and then the pulmonary and the sleep study is in pulmonary and then you've got to set it up on your phone. Well, that can be a challenge for people. So that is my feedback for that. Thank you."

"When I spoke with Joy, she said that they get feedback from the insurance sometimes two days, sometimes it takes two weeks. But when I went to check out to make my appointment, they would not even consider that I may get feedback before two weeks. I would like to try to get back in before that two-week timeframe. And she was just like, nope, it's two weeks. It seemed to me like they weren't even going to try to get feedback from the insurance quickly. So just a little bit disappointing. I don't think the lady that checked me out was very respectful. Thank you."

"I had an at-home sleep study done last week. The nurse was very helpful. I never met the doctor. The nurse told me that I would get a call from the doctor if I had a problem, or a call from the nurse if I had a minor problem, or a letter from the clinic if I didn't have any problem. And it's been a week already, and I haven't received any letters or calls from anybody. So I'm kind of a little bit disappointed in that. Thanks."

"I arrived to discover they needed per-authorization to do the sleep study. They have done at least 1 before for me but I couldn't get equipment because they needed per-authorization from my supplement. I think having checked before I arrived would have been more efficient. Now I have to go back to get equipment they will use to do study. Ineffective"
