There is no office to visit. Consultations happen over HIPAA-compliant video with a physician who is board-certified in Sleep Medicine, and the home sleep test ships directly to your California address. ## How it works in California 1. ### Confirm you're in California Our physician holds an active California medical license, so you can be seen from anywhere in the state — you just need to be physically located in California at the time of your visit or test. 2. ### Order a home sleep apnea test or book a consult You can order an FDA-approved home sleep apnea test as a standalone service ($169) — the physician writes the order without requiring a video visit — or start with a full consultation ($199). 3. ### Test three nights at home The device ships to your California address.
