Airway Management has introduced VirtuOx professional edition, a Web-based patient management system for the providers of oral appliance therapy.
The system does not use software and is accessible via an Internet connection, according to the company. It includes oximeter screening, home sleep testing, patient demographic and sleep record storage, and medical billing for oral appliances.
The system requires gradual titration in the home for a three- to four-week period. Oximeter screening allows for a pretherapy patient baseline of oxygen saturation and a post-titration read for the protrusive management of the appliance. Home sleep testing may be ordered through VirtuOx professional edition to establish a diagnosis and confirm the treatment position of the appliance.
All patient information, including demographics, physician notes, oximeter and sleep test reports, is stored electronically in individual portals with administrative access controlled by the subscriber/provider. A medical billing option will be available, including key services such as patient claim submission and follow-up to Medicare and commercial insurance, as well as in-network provider status applications.
