CPAP/Bi-Level Services
Lakeland Health Services offers therapeutic services to our patients
who may benefit from positive pressure therapy. The most common and
most
effective treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the use of
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) or Bi-Level Positive Airway
Pressure
(BiPAP). CPAP and BiPAP therapy is non-invasive and considered the
first line treatment for OSA. The general theory behind this type
of treatment
is that it applies a positive pressure to the airway to keep it from
closing during sleep. Upon your decision to use Lakeland Health Services
for your therapy needs, our staff will take you through an extensive
education session on the use of CPAP or BiPAP. The advantage to using
Lakeland Health Services for your OSA therapy needs is that you will
not only have received the most thorough education possible, but you
will also be followed very closely by members of our staff. This is a piece that has been missed by other
companies who provide this equipment. More often than not, you do not
even hear from the company that provides the equipment to you after
your set-up. This is because it is expensive to provide this service.
We at
Lakeland Health Services feel that we are not doing you justice if
we do not take care of you and help you to adjust to your CPAP or
BiPAP
unit. CPAP and BiPAP therapy is covered by all insurances when medically
necessary.
