Sleep Services

There are a lot of sleep labs out there and more pop up every day.  We have been doing this for a long time and over the course of almost three decades, we’ve gotten pretty good at it.  Here are a few things to keep in mind when determining who you will trust your patients to:

• Multi Night Testing

Our multiple night testing provides the most accurate data by reducing the skewing of data sometimes caused by patient error, equipment malfunction, poor quality signals, or reduced testing time. We also minimize “first night effect” and produce more accurate and relevant results than many other HST models. The simple fact is, sleep disorder severity commonly fluctuates from one night to the next, and recording over two nights provides a better picture of a patient’s overall condition.

• Unit of Choice

Decades of experience in sleep diagnostics, and careful research helped us choose the best device currently available to offer to our patients. The Watermark Ares perfectly balances the two most important factors: Quality of data collected and Ease of use for the patient. While many units on the market are incapable of colleting important data such as sleep staging or wake/sleep time, we are able to monitor these factors while still allowing the unit to be easily self administered by the patient. Experience shows that no matter how much data a unit is capable of collecting, it is useless if a patient incorrectly places leads or if sensors become disconnected during the night.

• Patient Cost

We know that cost is extremely important to many of our patients, regardless of their insurance benefits, and we never want cost to get in the way of this important test. That is why we strive to keep the patient’s out of pocket cost lower with us than with any sleep diagnostic company, in network, out of network or cash pay. We are also always willing to work with patients who have any type of financial hardship, and offer interest free payment plans as well.

• Updates

Our proprietary computer system makes tracking the status of our patients extremely efficient. At multiple points in the testing process, system generated updates are automatically emailed out. When test results are ready, they are emailed or faxed with a simple push of a button. And of course, if more detail is needed, we are always available to give up to the minute status on any of our patients. We are able to track every single detail and easily report it as well.

• Turn Around Time

As one of the highest volume HST providers in the world, we have the systems and the manpower to contact patients quickly, get units sent out same day, and generate results within a matter of hours. And on occasions when the process is held up by something outside of our control such as patients not answering the phone, we are able to track our progress and reach out to the proper parties to get the situation resolved.

• Interpretations

We have a network of Board Certified Sleep Physicians around the country who are ready, willing and able to interpret the results of our sleep tests. These doctors not only review the scored results, they also have access to the raw waveform data. This allows them to confirm the scored analysis and identify the source of any pertinent data on the report. In addition, each of these doctors is educated and open to the variety of treatment options currently available for patients, including sleep hygiene, positional therapy, all variations of PAP therapy, dental and surgical options. When our referring physicians would like interpret the results on their own patients, we encourage them to review the raw data as well, and can set up access to our system to allow it.

• Study Reports

Our clinical team has probably reviewed more sleep studies over the past 25 years than just about anyone else on the planet. Their decades of expertise are available to any of our referring or interpreting physicians if questions arise about anything they see on the reports.
