DOT Sleep Compliance

DOT Sleep Apnea Evaluation

Before a sleep study, a physician evaluation determines your risk and the right next step. Here's what a DOT sleep apnea evaluation with Appiia looks like.

Schedule Your Sleep Test

What the evaluation covers

Your provider reviews your symptoms, medical history, and the risk factors certified medical examiners weigh — then uses validated screening tools to decide whether a home sleep test is warranted. It is a focused, physician-led conversation, done by video or phone.

Risk factors we review

  • Body mass index (BMI) and neck circumference
  • Blood pressure, especially if difficult to control
  • Loud snoring, witnessed breathing pauses, and daytime sleepiness
  • Validated screeners such as STOP-BANG and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale

From evaluation to testing

If your risk warrants it, we order an FDA-cleared home sleep test; a board-certified sleep medicine physician interprets the results and, if obstructive sleep apnea is found, builds a treatment plan and the documentation your examiner needs.
