How We Differ

Another area of focus for the Center is the effort to bring patients value-added services. The Center' biggest customer service strength is that each patient sees a physician the morning after their study. The physician's hours are 7:30AM to 5:00 PM. In addition, the Center's administrative office provides pre-authorizations and handles billing over the internet as well as through the company's e-mail address.

The Center also employs two CPAP specialists (a registered respiratory therapist and a certified respiratory therapist) that work with patients on

all CPAP/Bi-PAP issues. The therapists are able to train patients on how to use and care for PAP equipment as well as ways to be

successful CPAP patients. The Center has found that this extra care is vital to ensure that patients who are prescribed CPAP or Bi-PAP continue

their use months and years later.

Patient feedback is solicited via customer survey postcards distributed during office visits and after each sleep study. The data compiled from these surveys is interpreted by the Center's quality assurance staff to specifically critique areas such as wait times, physician and office staff satisfaction, sleep technician satisfaction, physician communication, facility cleanliness, and convenience of location.

The Center has a full complement of employees to closely monitor patients throughout the sleep study process .
