Bronx Sleep Clinics Offer Diagnostic Services for Sleep Disorders
Facilities in the Bronx provide residents with access to overnight monitoring and diagnostic services for sleep disorders.
How we reported this
Montefiore Sleep-Wake Disorders Center on East 210th Street in Norwood recorded 1,450 overnight sleep studies in the first half of 2026, up from 1,210 during the same period last year.
More Bronx adults now seek evaluations after local wellness programs highlighted links between poor rest and daily fatigue. City health data from 2025 showed 34 percent of Bronx residents reported sleeping fewer than six hours on average, prompting clinics to expand appointment slots ahead of summer demand.
Two established sites handle most referrals. Montefiore’s center at 111 East 210th Street offers in-lab polysomnography starting at $475 for insured patients. BronxCare Health System’s sleep lab on the Grand Concourse near East 173rd Street runs similar tests and maintains a waitlist under three weeks for initial consultations. Both locations accept walk-ins for consultations on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Clinic Access and Study Costs
Insurance coverage varies. Medicare patients at Montefiore pay a $150 copay for a full-night study when ordered by a primary physician at the affiliated clinic on Jerome Avenue. BronxCare reports that 62 percent of its 2026 studies involved continuous positive airway pressure titration, with equipment rental listed at $89 monthly through its partner supplier on Fordham Road. Residents in Mott Haven and Hunts Point often start with a referral from the neighborhood health center at 890 Garrison Avenue before booking at either lab.
Staff at both centers recommend patients avoid caffeine after 2 p.m. on test days and bring current medication lists. Appointments booked before July 15 receive a follow-up report within five business days, including a treatment plan reviewed by board-certified sleep physicians on site.
Next Steps for Bronx Residents
Anyone experiencing persistent daytime drowsiness can call Montefiore’s scheduling line at 718-920-4841 or visit BronxCare’s outpatient desk on the third floor. Local primary care offices on Arthur Avenue now distribute referral forms that speed intake at both sleep facilities.
