Sleep Dr denying need for sleep study?

[TMM 6]

My surgeons office wanted me referred for a sleep study. Had my consult today and sleep doctor does not think I need it and wrote a note stating so. She has actually worked with my surgeon on the same patients. Timeline wise, I was excited. But now I am worried that the surgeon's office is going to want it and I don't want scheduling delays. I hope this doesn't come back to bite me!l

If they wrote a letter stating you didn't need it, that should be more than enough

Unless it's an insurance requirement it shouldn't be a problem. Especially since this is a doctor your surgeon frequently refers patients to.
