in-home sleep apnea testing
Sleep Apnea Testing in the Comfort of Home
Offer your patients a better night’s sleep for improved health and wellness.
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 SleepView In-Home Sleep Apnea testing units provided by BACMAC.
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. AMS gives healthcare providers 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.
