As the country's leading provider of in-home overnight pulse oximetry testing, IDS has developed the premier nationwide direct-to-patient mail delivery model for home sleep testing (HST). This valued program, known as IDS Sleep, benefits your practice because there is no equipment to purchase; your staff will not have to deal with the hassles of getting referrals for expensive in-lab testing. Your patients will typically prefer HST because of the comfort, convenience and substantially lower out-of-pocket cost.

We will provide you with a complete test report that has been interpreted by a board-certified sleep physician. Rather than referring business out, all subsequent follow-up visits will be with your office. The sheer simplicity of IDS Sleep relative to other testing options means it is easier to convince patients to be evaluated for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Our pre-populated order forms are available online for your staff to make the process as easy as 1 - 2 - 3.

IDS uses the ResMed ApneaLink™ Plus testing device, which meets guidelines for Type III devices (HST billing codes: 95806 or G0399, a Type III device that records four channels from three noninvasive sensors which measure respiratory effort, airflow, pulse rate and oxygen saturation).

To further increase ease of use, IDS always ships the device with the sensors pre-attached and fresh batteries installed. We also include easy-to-follow, illustrated printed instructions and an instructional DVD to guide them through the process.

Should patients have questions, we provide a toll-free technical support helpline that is available 24/7. This combination has led to a success rate greater than 95%, which is well above the industry standard.
