How do I get a sleep apnea test in New Mexico?
Take the free 2-minute Sleep Risk Quiz, or book a $125 virtual evaluation with Asha Inniss, DNP. If a home sleep test is appropriate, we mail it to your New Mexico address, you test in your own bed, and Asha reviews the results with you by video — no sleep lab, no long drive. Most patients are seen within days.
How often does sleep apnea go undiagnosed?
Far more often than people realize. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine estimates obstructive sleep apnea affects nearly 30 million U.S. adults, with about 80% undiagnosed. New Mexico’s adult obesity rate sits at or above 35%, and excess weight is one of the strongest reversible drivers of OSA — which means a lot of New Mexicans are living with a treatable condition they’ve never been tested for.
Why telehealth sleep care matters in New Mexico
New Mexico is large, rural, and medically underserved in wide stretches, many residents live hours from the nearest sleep specialist. Telehealth erases that distance. You get the same clinician-led evaluation, home testing, and follow-up care whether you’re in a city or a frontier county, without the drive or the waitlist.
What can a nurse practitioner do for sleep apnea in New Mexico?
New Mexico grants nurse practitioners full practice authority. After completing the required initial prescriptive preceptorship (about 400 hours), an NP can practice and prescribe independently under state rules. That means Asha can evaluate you, order and interpret a home sleep apnea test, diagnose OSA, build your treatment plan, and manage prescriptions directly, a genuinely streamlined path to care. Where a weight-and-sleep plan is appropriate, more options may be available here than in reduced-practice states, subject to clinical judgment and eligibility.
Does Insurance cover virtual sleep care in New Mexico?
For patients already enrolled in Insurance, we bill Insurance for covered services, including home sleep apnea testing when medically appropriate. Under Part B you generally pay 20% after the annual deductible ($283 in 2026). Telehealth coverage rules remain subject to federal action, so we confirm your current coverage before you’re charged. Cash/self-pay is available too.
What happens after diagnosis?
Riseland stays with you: CPAP coaching to help you adjust, compliance monitoring to keep therapy effective and protect your equipment coverage, plus follow-ups, eligible refills, and weight-and-sleep support, all by video.
