Henry Schein Dental is now offering the Sleep Complete program, an integrated package that provides all of the information and products necessary to add dental sleep medicine to a dental practice.
Henry Schein Dental's Sleep Complete program was developed in collaboration with Nierman Practice Management, Modern Dental Laboratory, and Itamar Medical, Henry Schein noted.
The package includes the Dental Writer Diagnostic Report Writer and Medical Billing Software for Dentistry through Nierman Practice Management. This specialty software simplifies the billing and reimbursement process for dentists on procedures that require reimbursement from the patients' medical insurance, and provides the tools needed to easily submit reimbursement paperwork at the click of a button.
The Sleep Complete package also includes the oral appliance starter kit from Modern Dental Laboratory USA, which comprises prepaid vouchers for three oral appliances and marketing materials and other tools for dentists to incorporate this therapy into their practice. The appliances all have U.S. regulatory clearance for the treatment of snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnea, or for patients who cannot tolerate continuous positive air pressure therapy.
The final component of the Sleep Complete package is the WatchPAT testing device, provided through Itamar Medical. WatchPAT is a noninvasive, portable sleep testing device that gathers data related to the patient's sleep tendencies. The data are then interpreted by a sleep physician and used by the dentist to titrate the oral appliance being used for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. Dentists utilize WatchPAT in collaboration with each patient's physician.
In addition to the Sleep Complete package, Henry Schein Dental is offering dentists registration to the Nierman Practice Management two-day Successful Implementation of Dental Sleep Medicine seminars, featuring John H. Tucker, DMD.
