Memorial Medical Center Hosting CPAP Clinic, Part 1
Monday, March 3rd, 2014 -- 1:41 PM
-Memorial Medical Center will be hosting a CPAP Clinic on March 17th from Noon to 5pm.Jim Dunn of Whitney Sleep Diagnostics and Consultants told me about the CPAP Clinic.
Jim said, "The CPAP Clinic is designed for people who have CPAP already. They've been through a sleep study and they've gotten CPAP equipment issued to them. It allows them to bring their equipment in and make sure that everything is running properly in terms of correct pressure and correct air flow is coming from the machine. Also, we can take a look at the mask and their tubing and the mask seal to make sure everything is operating correctly. There are some parts and supplies that do need updating with CPAP. They just tend to wear out and we are able to examine those and give an opinion on those. If the patient requires or would like to get new supplies, we can take care of them as well."
You don't need an appointment for the CPAP clinic, but for those who do want a scheduled time, you can call Whitney Sleep at 877-844-6150 to reserve a time. If you want to purchase new supplies, you can speed up that process by having Whitney Sleep verify your insurance benefits in advance by calling that same number.
