The Best in Sleep Care

SleepQuest is an innovative leader in sleep care, providing diagnostic and treatment services in the convenience of the patient's home. We have provided sleep care services in California for over five years with a comprehensive "continuum of care" program that includes initial sleep study diagnostics, titrations and treatment. Our corporate commitment is to ensure that the physicians we serve, succeed in the long-term management of their patient's sleep disorders by emphasizing patient education and long-term compliance monitoring.

Experience and Expertise

Sleep medicine is a relatively new specialty. With few real experts in this area, SleepQuest can boast the "best of the best".

Dr. William Dement, the world's leading authority on sleep and sleep disorders and the founder of the world's first sleep disorders clinic at Stanford University, is the Chief Scientific Advisor to SleepQuest. He has forty seven years of experience in sleep research, was Chairman of the National Commission on Sleep Disorders Research and is considered to be the "father of modern sleep medicine".

SleepQuest utilizes only Board-Certified Sleep Physicians to interpret each study. These sleep experts also provide consultations for referring physicians at the local level. This ensures optimal care for each patient tested and treated by SleepQuest.

If you are interested in providing sleep care in your local area and you are a Board Certified Sleep Physician, please contact us as we may be expanding in your area.

Preparing patients for sleep tests and instructing them in CPAP treatment is a difficult, time-intensive job that requires a high degree of skill, patience and effective communication. SleepQuest employs only Licensed Respiratory Care Practitioners (RCP) and Polysomnographic Technologists (PSG) for this critical task. They are highly trained health care professionals who execute your instructions to exacting standards and provide patients with an extra measure of clinical education and training. In addition, we provide complete telephone support and if needed, in-person support in the home, to help your patients answer questions or troubleshoot problems.

Convenience and Communication

In a complex healthcare system that serves an increasingly multi-cultural population, communication becomes critical. That is why we make a special effort to get to know your patients and members of your office staff, follow-up frequently, provide consistent, clear communications, answer questions, troubleshoot problems, and communicate effectively.

We have designed our schedule for the convenience of your patients, not our staff. We schedule patients within one week of your referral and quickly provide you with test results and interpretations so that you can counsel your patient and make the important decisions about their healthcare management.

When we receive your referral for diagnostic or treatment services, we manage all of the insurance paperwork including coverage confirmation, pre-approval, authorization, benefits and processing. Your staff spends more time on patient care and less time filling out forms.

Patient Education

One of our prime goals is to educate patients about their sleep disorders. We provide a wide range of educational services and products from sleep apnea seminars and support group sponsorship to patient screening tools. In addition, much of our web site is devoted to educating the patient about sleep disorders.

High Patient Compliance Results in Successful Treatment

Experience has taught us that patients on CPAP treatment, need high-quality education and training, constant motivation, and assistance in troubleshooting problems as they occur. Among our highest priorities at SleepQuest is to ensure that patients are thoroughly educated and trained in the use of therapeutic equipment and the management of their sleep disorder. This results in the consistent successful treatment outcomes for which SleepQuest is known. As a clinician familiar with all the issues surrounding patient compliance, you can feel secure knowing that we will provide as much support as necessary to ensure that your patient's sleep disorder will be well-managed and controlled. Our comprehensive compliance monitoring process begins the day after patients start treatment, and continues for one year. As result, our CPAP patient compliance rate is 93%, the highest in the industry.

Physician Education

Due to the many physician requests we receive each year, SleepQuest administers a comprehensive program of sleep education for physicians. The program was created by Dr. William Dement, the world's leading authority on sleep and sleep disorders, to educate primary care physicians in this growing area. It is available as a group seminar and will soon be available as the definitive textbook for Primary Care Physicians who want to become more educated about sleep disorders.

The Leader in Sleep Care

SleepQuest is playing a major role in defining sleep care for the new millennium, and we are committed to doing everything necessary to support you as the physician in managing your patient and their sleep disorder.
