Better Sleep Steps

If you or a loved one are not experiencing sleep to it's fullest,
below is an outline of the steps it takes to start gaining a better night sleep.   

1

Book a Free Consultation Today

Some people need a diagnostic sleep test, and some just need practical hands-on sleep coaching. Others need our expertise to help fulfill their RPSGT staffing. No matter your sleep need, book a free consultation to get personalized advice as to the next steps since personalized health care does not always follow the same process for every person or facility seeking our expertise.
2

Diagnostic Test Needed

Generally, most personal sleep issues require an initial diagnostic test so that a personalized treatment plan may be developed. If your doctor has already ordered a diagnostic sleep test, you can skip to the next step.

If you are struggling with sleep, and your doctor has not ordered a diagnostic sleep test, schedule an appointment with your primary Doctor to see if they feel a diagnostic sleep test is appropriate for you.

It should be noted that diagnostic sleep tests are not always appropriate for everyone, and if your Doctor has not ordered one, book a free consultation today to see if there are other options or resources available to you help you sleep better.

Choosing Where to Perform Your Sleep Test

As part of a personalized care model, you have a choice of who you want to conduct your sleep study. We are so glad that you have chosen us to provide you with the best care possible.
4

Behind the Scene Items

As we receive the order from your Doctor, there are several other behind the scene items that occur to help us ensure that we can provide the best care (and get paid too). As a patient, none of this step requires anything on your part, but is merely listed so that you can better understand why it takes a couple of days to a week to ensure that all required pre-study steps are completed before we can schedule  your sleep study. 

Insurance Information (If applicable) - Most doctor's offices will pass on your insurance information with the sleep study order. This helps us ensure that your sleep study is pre-authorized with your insurance before we get you scheduled for your sleep study. If you pay with cash, this sub-step is skipped.

Records Transfer- Most doctor's offices will also pass on medical records such as your current medications, your last doctor's visit notes, and any other medical records pertaining to why a sleep study was ordered. These records are generally needed to help justify to insurance companies the necessity of a sleep study and helps ensure seamless payments.
5

Time to Schedule 

Yeah!!!!!! All of the required pre-study paperwork is received by I-WAS Sleep, and it's time to schedule your sleep study. If you haven't done so, we will attempt to proactively reach out to you to get it scheduled. During this contact we will also make sure that you don't have any further questions about the rest of the sleep study process.
6

The Night Of Your Study

Local (Gunnison, Almont, Crested Butte, etc.) - Since we are all about personalization, we will schedule to meet you at your house or another location of your choosing to help you get setup for your sleep study. During this time, we will go over any last minute questions you have, and let you know the next steps following a successful sleep study.

Non-Local (Everywhere else)- We will mail you your home sleep study device. As soon as you receive it, you will receive a phone call, or a telehealth video call to walk you through the setup, answer any last minute questions, and go over the next steps following a successful sleep study.
7

The Morning After

When you wake up, several questions will be asked to help the interpreting doctor determine the results of your sleep study as the device uploads the data it recorded throughout the night. If you don't have consistent internet, this process generally only takes a couple of minutes to perform once an internet connection is restored.
8

Our Follow-Up

After a study has been determined that there is enough data for the interpreting physician to make a diagnosis, I-WAS Sleep will reach out to you as to what the next steps are.
 
If you happen to not have a normal night, don't worry, we will advise you if a 2 night study is required.

A fun fact about sleep studies is that any study that has more than 6 hours of data is usually determined as an ideal study. If we get less sleep time than that, you can still have a valid study because our bodies will generally cycle through all of the stages of sleep approximately every 90-120 minutes. So, even if you feel like you "messed it up," there is generally more than enough data to "see" what your body is doing during the various sleep stages.

Results

The results of a home sleep study are generally available within a week of your study and you will need to follow-up with the Doctor who ordered the study. At that appointment, they will share with you what the next steps are in your sleep discovery journey.

The biggest advise I-WAS Sleep can give you in this area is to follow what your doctor asks you to do. In our experience, the people who find the biggest success in the area of sleep are those who follow the advise of their doctor.

Once again, if you have any questions about what is next, please reach out to us.

Sleep Services Pricing

Home Sleep Test (HST)

$600

Most sleep diagnosis generally start off with a noc ox which tracks your oxygen and heart rate while you sleep. While this is a very basic test, the results of this test can lead to your doctor ordering a home sleep study to further confirm, or investigate the reason why your oxygen, and/or heart rate is not optimal for sleep. While some home sleep devices look similar to a noc-ox test, there are a lot more sensors and data to help your doctor to diagnose several sleep issues related to several breathing issues like sleep apnea, soring, or lead to suspicions of restless leg syndrome.

Billing Info- Home Sleep Study (CPT-95844 and 95848)
The price for an in-house diagnostic sleep study is $600. We are currently in negotiations with the local insurance plans and are unable to offer insurance coverage at this time. 

It should also be noted that this price covers the device and interpreting physicians fee. If you are shopping around, most sleep labs have these costs separated to make them appear "better." However, we at I-WAS Sleep we do not like this common practice within the medical world and you will only ever receive an all-inclusive bill for your home sleep study when you choose us.

Sleep Coaching Services

Pricing Depends on Complexity

Sleep coaching may be ordered by your doctor to help improve your sleep habits or routines to address issues like insomnia, poor sleep quality, etc.

Billing Info- Sleep Coaching (CPT- 98960 to 98962)
The price for sleep coaching depends on the number of sessions and what sleep issues are being addressed. Book a free consultation to see how we specialize in pay as you go sessions.

When you utilize sleep coaching through I-WAS Sleep you will receive a bill for each sleep coaching session which is payable upon service.

RPSGT Sleep Services

Contractual

Got a lab, a backlog of patients, but no technologists to run sleep studies? Your not alone, and unfortunately this is a common problem among sleep labs.

I-WAS Sleep is here to help. Unlike travel companies who charge you for the technologist and the finders fee on top, we're different. All of our technologist's compensation go straight to the technologist and not the company who provides them. This allows us to provide our services at discounted rate to the sleep lab seeking our services while co-currently allowing us to pay our technologists at a slightly higher compensation to help us ensure that we staff the absolute best RPSGT's in the industry. Contact us for a free consultation of you needs.

RPSGT/Provider Sleep Consultation

Contractual

All providers and technologists are familiar with CME and CEU's to keep up their licenses but most of these classes, seminars, and sponsored content only teach you the concept. Rarely does this content actually give what most providers, office managers and technologists are looking for : REAL PRACTICAL ADVICE!

At I-WAS Sleep we fill that gap by setting up consultation sessions to teach individuals or organizations the how-to behind excellent patient care and their outcomes. Through our consultations we bridge the theory side of sleep with the practical hands-on experience to allow for providers and technologists up their game within the sleep world. For example, we have helped providers and their technologists through how to actually read the subtle cues from sleep data that won't be picked up on any report to give providers and technologists a greater glimpse into what is actually happening physiologically on the patient being observed. By bridging this gap your lab will no longer follow the generic, you have sleep apnea, you need a CPAP, follow up with your provider, etc. prompting and personalized sleep care can be applied to all patients no matter what the data shows. 

On the backend, we have also taken our experience to help the office managers with work-flow, billing, compensation, staffing, employee retention, policy issues, etc. so that they too can help their patients through the work that patients never see on the back-end. 

So no matter your need, we at I-WAS Sleep want to help you take your practice or sleep lab to another level and learn how to provide the best patient experience possible while co-currently reducing common errors on the back-end so that providers get paid faster and more efficiently. Book a consultation today to see how we can help you today.
