“The simple words ‘we can test you tonight at your own home’ as opposed to ‘we can test you in two weeks at the sleep lab’ proved to be highly influential in getting the patients to agree to a test. When we said those words about having the test done immediately and at home, fewer patients objected.”

Sleep labs can be difficult to find, inconvenient for the patient, and incredibly expensive. Offer your patients the luxury of a sound night’s sleep in the comfort of their own bed with the Apnea Link  In-Home Sleep Study.

Sleep-Disordered Breathing affects 42 million American adults, and 1 in 5 of them have mild to severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). As many as 75% of severe OSA cases are never diagnosed, in part because patients do not want to go to a sleep lab and payers are now requiring preauthorization for sleep lab visits.

Identifying and managing OSA not only improves respiratory health, but is increasingly known to impact a broad array of other serious health issues. Healthcare provider have the ability to conduct home sleep tests for their patients with support from registered polysomnographic technicians and board-certified sleep physician experts.

Patients can be tested in the comfort and convenience of their own homes, without an observer and with fewer sensors attached to their body. This reduces anxiety, leads to a more natural night’s sleep, and improves patient acceptance of test protocol. By offering this test from your practice you have the opportunity to diagnose a disorder that causes a multitude of problems which have been historically difficult to diagnose. Your patients will appreciate the service and everyone can work towards a good night’s rest.
