Apnea Care Program - Integrated CPAP Supply
In House CPAP Supply
If you are diagnosed with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) or another sleep related breathing disorder, your sleep specialist may order PAP therapy (positive airway pressure), such as CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure). Using a PAP machine to aid breathing while asleep is the most effective treatment for disorders like OSA.
OmniSleep offers CPAP equipment at prices lower than the national CPAP web sites. Letting OmniSleep supply your CPAP/BiPAP equipment is very convenient and it ensures that your treatment is managed by experts in sleep medicine. It also saves time and effort because we already have your sleep study results and PAP settings and can provide your equipment as soon as your insurance payer approves it, and we can make mask fit and PAP machine setting changes quickly and conveniently.
​
CPAP use reduces the likelihood of health problems related to untreated sleep apnea, such as heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, and depression.
OmniSleep's DME (durable medical equipment) department is nationally accredited by the BOC International.

What is PAP therapy and equipment?PAP stands for Positive Airway Pressure. PAP machines are used to treat Sleep Disordered Breathing, such as OSA, or Obstructive Sleep Apnea. OSA is when your airway partially or fully closes due to being relaxed or due to fatty tissue in the neck, and your airflow is restricted or stops. CPAP is used to treat OSA. It provides Continues Positive Airway Pressure, meaning that it blows air into your nose via a mask (or in your nose and mouth if using a full face mask), and this pressure keeps your airway open while you sleep, and prevents sleep apnea. There are a few machines that provide positive airway pressure such as BiPAP (BiLevel PAP) and ASV (Auto Servo Ventillation) that treat other problems like sleep hypoventillation and CSA, central sleep apnea. Your sleep specialist would order the one approprate for your sleep disorder.

What is the process for getting CPAP from OmniSleep?First, patients must be diagnosed with sleep apnea or another sleep-related breathing disorder. This involves a clinical evaluation with one of our sleep specialists and a sleep study to diagnose the disorder and to determine the severity. Diagnostic sleep studies are followed by a treatment sleep study to determine the correct PAP therapy setting, though sometimes diagnosis and treatment studies are combined into one. After assessing the treatment study results, the sleep specialist orders PAP equipment for ongoing treatment at home. Our DME department confirms insurance benefits and communicates with patients if there is a problem. Then we schedule patients for a CPAP setup appointment with one of our respiratory therapists in which the PAP mask is fitted and patients are instructed how to use and care for the PAP machine.

What happens if I don't adjust to or tolerate CPAP?Most patients adjust well to PAP therapy. Our therapists work very hard to make ongoing treatment as comfortable as possible. However, some patients opt to discontinue therapy becuase they experience mask discomfort or difficulty with the volume of airflow in the mask. Some patients feel claustrophobic and have difficulty wearing a mask. If you can't tolerate PAP, we'd schedule an appointment with your sleep specialist to discuss other treatment options, such as Inspire, an electro-stimulation device to treat acne, or a dental mouthpiece, and weight loss.
