Mountain Sleep is accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. Our accreditation demonstrates our proficiency in sleep testing procedures and policies. This standard also ensures patient safety, follow-up, certified physician and staff training.
Accreditation by the AASM continues to be the gold standard for sleep programs. The standards for accreditation and the guidelines included in them were developed by knowledgeable sleep specialists specifically for the evaluation of sleep disorders patients. The standards are designed to guarantee quality and meet the various needs of referring physicians and patients, including:
• Confidence that the highest quality of care is being demonstrated and the most skilled physicians are caring for patients
• Clean, comfortable patient environment where dignity and safety are upheld
• Knowledgeable, trained staff
• Review of all sleep studies conducted at the facility by a Diplomat of the American Board of Sleep Medicine
• Quality assurance program
We believe that the importance of AASM accreditation and its requirement as a determinant of reimbursement will continue to expand. In many states, third party payers require that sleep studies be performed at an AASM accredited facility for reimbursement.
