Any ideas on how I can get money for a medical procedure that I absolutely need but insurance doesn't cover?

First of all, I want to say this: I hate health insurance companies. How the hell can you cover breast implants but not sleep studies?

My issue is that I have sleep apnea, but my insurance doesn’t cover the procedures I need to get done. The place doing the sleep study was kind enough to lower the price so that my family could kinda afford it. Problem is, $1000 isn’t exactly “affordable” given the circumstances. I was thinking of taking out a loan, but I really don’t want to pay interest. It would take too long to get an answer from Medicaid. I just started the semester, and this whole sleep issue is really affecting my grades. It’s just so hard to stay awake in class and while I’m doing my homework…

Anyone have any other ideas? I really have to get this done soon. Otherwise I may not survive the semester…
