Sleep Disorders Center

Fayette County Hospital and Long Term Care’s Sleep Disorders Center at the Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites is providing testing and treatment for sleep apnea, insomnia and narcolepsy. 

Facilities and Amenities

The hotel room is more sleep-conducive and less intimidating than the hospital environment for patients.  The atmosphere and the hotel surroundings may help the patient relax so the sleep test is more accurate.  One of the two sleep rooms is handicapped accessible.  A registered sleep technician monitors the sleeping patient from another room.   

Just like any other Holiday Inn Express, patients may check in at 3:00 pm on the day of their test and take advantage of the hotel’s amenities.   Patients’ families may stay in a separate, discounted hotel room and enjoy time before and after the testing with their loved ones.  The Sleep Disorders Center provides a safe secure location with easy access and convenient parking. 

The Sleep Experts

The Sleep Disorders Center uses a three-step process to evaluate, diagnose and treat patients.   First, a physician specializing in sleep disorders treatment evaluates the patient at Fayette County Hospital’s Specialty Clinic located on the 2nd floor in the hospital.   

Testing is scheduled during the patient’s normal sleep periods – day or night.  Registered polysomnographers and sleep technicians use diagnostic and monitoring equipment to test sleeping patients. A physician experienced with sleep disorders testing and treatment reviews all tests. 

After evaluation, a final report is sent to the patient’s personal physician and other health-care professionals involved in treatment.  A follow-up appointment will be scheduled.

Sleep studies are considered outpatient procedures and are covered under most medical plans. You may contact your insurance company directly for specific coverage amounts and if pre-certification is required.
