Guide to Procedure Scheduling
The Guide to Procedure Scheduling provides physicians and their office staff an easy-to-use index for many of the outpatient medical procedures available at Suburban Hospital and associated outpatient centers. The Guide includes direct access phone numbers for scheduling procedures as well as hours of operation and specific locations.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) related to procedure scheduling are also included in this document for your information. A patient version of the Guide is also available on this site under Patients & Visitors. If you have any questions, please call the our Scheduling and Registration staff at 301.896.2222.

Referrals to Premier Sleep Centers
Rockville Internal Medicine Sleep Disorder Center and National Capital Sleep Center at Suburban Hospital have combined their expertise in sleep medicine to form Premier Sleep Centers under the management of Premier Physician Group. Premier Sleep Centers are dedicated to improving the quality of life for people with sleep/wake disorders. Both facilities are fully equipped diagnostic and treatment centers specifically designed to meet the needs of patients suffering from sleep-related disorders. One out of five people in the United States has a sleep disorder and suffers from the consequences of excessive daytime sleepiness that regularly interferes with daily activities. For information about our Pediatric Sleep program, please click here.
Primary care physicians or specialists can refer patients to Premier Sleep Centers. Patients referred for an evaluation will receive a call from the Sleep Center staff to explain details about the testing procedures. In addition, all billing and administrative issues or questions will be answered before patients are tested at the Center. Most insurance contracts and HMOs are accepted.
We recommend that patients review the need for a sleep study with their primary care physician. Physicians, click here Sleep Study Prescription Referral Form to print an adult or child prescription form. With a completed referral form, which includes having the physician’s signature, patients can call Premier Sleep Centers at 877.TRY.SLEEP (877.879.7533) to schedule the sleep study and mail or fax the form.
