RE: change insurance procedure
Normally, your sleep study will be accepted by most insurance companies as they save money by not repeating the testing/titration process. You sleep study and prescription are part of your medical file and are available on request -- sometimes they will add a minor copying charge if it is sent to you rather than another physician or medical facility.

Your best bet is to contact the insurance provider and ask for a waiver or transfer of medical information between policy numbers. Normally, a policy swap just changes the policy details on your personal medical record and nothing else,

RE: change insurance procedure
I had switched insurances and they said they would reach out and get my records and it would be no problem. (I wasn't waiting for a replacement tho) They even still are sending replacement parts in the meantime. Best of luck!
