MSLT

Hi all, just wanted to get some opinions from my fellow sleep techs/scoring techs.

We have a physician who has asked multiple times for us to remove the 5th nap from an MSLT report so that the patient gets a positive diagnosis of idiopathic hypersomnia. With the information of the 5th nap, the patient would not qualify for “treatment” of modafinil.

Is this common practice? Should I be removing a performed nap from a sleep report so a patient gets a certain diagnosis?
