My wife went through this process years ago while we were in the midwest. A couple of years ago, I wanted to look into getting a machine, and we had (and still have) Kaiser Permanente, in Northern California. The first appointment was to pickup a take-home testing machine. It was just a 'come get it' process. I took it home, followed the instructions, and slept with it. It had a variety of connections to me, so it wasn't easy to sleep. The next day, I took that machine back. The day after that, they invited me to another appointment. In that appointment, there were about 50 people. We each sat at an assigned place at a table, with our new CPAP machine in front of us. They talked us through it, and invited us to come up and talk to one of two of three doctors, one at a time, at the end. Overall, it took maybe a week and cost maybe a hundred bucks. Health care is getting better in some areas, at least!
