I'm afraid of that happening as well. Hopefully I can get the testing I need done without any pushback from the cardiologist.

I'll be looking into that.

That's good to know, thank you. From the Initial Status Report form I thought I was going to need a sleep study as well.

Good idea. They do have multiple doctors and locations. I'm not sure how comfortable my AME is with the process but I did schedule a consult with him. I'm thinking it might be best to skip that all together and go straight to someone that knows exactly what they're doing.
