Join SomnoMed To Help Treat More OSA Patients, More Effectively
SomnoMed, the global leader in Oral Appliance Therapy, is experiencing unprecedented growth. With Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) on the rise, so is public awareness.
Physicians are now recognizing that CPAP, long held as the “gold standard” for treatment of OSA, is only one of several effective treatment options for their OSA patients. Acknowledgement of CPAP’s limited patient acceptance is growing, with adherence rates <50% after one year. This, coupled with an industry-wide shortage of CPAP devices due to last year’s (and ongoing) recall by the nation’s second largest PAP manufacturer, has led to increased interest from physicians to learn about other therapy options for their patients.
Supported by formal ASSM (American Society of Sleep Medicine) guidelines as an effective option for a wide population of OSA sufferers who are either CPAP-reluctant or intolerant, Oral Appliance Therapy is now strongly supported by virtually all key opinion leaders in the field of sleep medicine.
Here’s where SomnoMed and Sleep Dentists come in…
Over the past three years, SomnoMed has restructured and reinvented itself to not only delight sleep dentists and their patients, but to also bring awareness, acceptance, and adoption of Oral Appliance Therapy to prescribing physicians. We call this our Medical Initiative™.
SomnoMed’s field-based Dental Account Management team brings you, the sleep dentist, industry insight, clinical/technical education, patient and physician awareness and education tools, and, of course, the highest quality, most comfortable and effective oral appliances in the industry. Most importantly, our team can help guide a sleep dentist to the highest-integrity industry partners, to provide support in the areas of reimbursement, certification, clinical education, diagnostic (HSAT) testing, and telemedicine – we know them all very well! In short, a sleep dentist’s SomnoMed Account Manager is there to help the dentist build an efficient, productive sleep practice.
How SomnoMed Supports Sleep Dentists
Our field-based Business Development team spends their time treating physicians, medical practices, and sleep labs. They provide clinical proof sources via SomnoMed’s interactive Effectiveness Equation, demo oral appliance models for staff and patients, and share patient education materials. Prescribing physicians are eager to offer their patients Oral Appliance Therapy as a preferred, effective treatment option, so naturally, they want to know the “How?” and the “Who?”. Our Business Development team introduces these physicians – often personally – to our SomnoMed dentist(s).
Prescribers want to know and trust their treating sleep dentists, and the SomnoMed Business Development team makes those personal introductions – many times with our industry partners. Essentially, SomnoMed helps build the most efficient treatment pathways for the Patient, Physician, and Dentist.
