If a patient is negative for sleep apena but has snoring, arousals, etc. and there has been no surgery done and other methods have not worked, how long before another PSG can be done to see if they have developed in OSA? I have a patient who we did in 1999. Also, insurance considerations are, and were then, Medicaid. What about Medicare pts. in the same situation?

Thanks
