Follow-up of CPAP / BiPAP Trial

Your therapist will follow-up with you in our office on a weekly or bi-weekly basis until we have ensured your sleep apnea is well treated. Most new CPAP machines have sophisticated downloadable data which will allow us to ensure the settings on your machine are correct. As a result, we are able to check on your CPAP machine remotely in your home without you having to come into the office. Once your CPAP machine appears to be working and you’re sleeping better, we will complete an overnight oximetry to ensure your blood oxygen levels are normalized and your Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is treated.

Thus our staff will complete all paperwork necessary to quote and / or bill your insurance company. Your sleep therapist will help you find the CPAP system that will effectively treat your OSA. In that case they will make sure that it is affordable for you. Prices vary depending on the type of therapy that works best for you.
