Based on medical need, SleepCare will perform a 16-channel, diagnostic sleep
study as prescribed by a physician. Patients must first be seen by a Specialist
with a background in sleep disorders. Each SleepCare site has a Local Medical
Director to whom patients can easily be referred for the initial evaluation.
Once diagnosed with a potential sleep disorder and a sleep study
prescribed, SleepCare can schedule patients within a two-week time-frame at
a convenient location. SleepCare is located in suburban and rural areas of New
Jersey, Southeastern Pennsylvania, and Northern Delaware.
Our Customer Service Representatives provide a brief scenario
of the sleep study set-up, "lights-out", recording time, and "disconnect"
procedures so that patients and family members have an understanding and are
at ease during the study. Patients are tested in centers which provide a home-like
atmosphere with state-of-the-art equipment. This will lend to a more natural
night's sleep and thus provide sleep activity for the physician to draw an accurate
conclusion. Results are quickly developed and sent to the Medical Director for
reading.
SleepCare takes care of all insurance verification needs as well as all third-party
billing. The patient, of course, is informed prior to the study of any deductible
and or co-pay obligations that may occur.
NOTE: This insurance list applies to SleepCare's "free-standing"
facilities. There are several locations that SleepCare manages which accept
all insurance carriers. SleepCare will do its best to accommodate your patient's
geographic needs while assuring insurance coverage.
