The Sleep Disorders Center

The Sleep Disorders Center at Aiken Regional Medical Centers is dedicated to the successful diagnosis of sleep-related disorders. The center contains four private bedrooms, each with modern equipment to perform specialized studies of breathing, seizures and abnormal behaviors during sleep. Sleep studies are usually conducted at night in rooms that have been designed to make your stay as much like home as possible. The Sleep Disorders Center’s clean, spacious sleeping rooms include a full-size bed, recliner, cable TV and DVD/VCR player. A sleep technologist is available throughout the sleep study to attend to any patient needs or questions.

Insurance and Fees
Medicare and most insurance plans generally cover the sleep study test. Contact your insurance company for verification of benefits or feel free to ask our business office for assistance.
