Mattress Delivery Company, Online Bed Quilt, Comments On In-Home Sleep Disorder Test

Bohemia, NY (PRWEB) February 26, 2013

On February 26, mattress delivery company Online Bed Quilt comments on how some people are opting to take at-home sleep diagnostic tests and the authenticity of data collected.

According to The Tennessean, diagnosing serious sleep disorders is usually a lengthy process where patients visit a sleep lab and are monitored by doctors and scientists overnight. Now, there are tests administered at home that have been gaining popularity around the nation, reports The Tennessean.

The Tennessean reports that rather than spending the night in a sleep clinic, doctors go directly to the patient’s house and set them up for the night with monitors. These at-home tests are more convenient and accessible for the patient.

“Sleep tests are used to determine what type of disorder a person has and what the underlying issues may be,” Justin Maas, a representative from mattress delivery store Online Bed Quilt, commented. “It’s definitely more convenient for patients to use their own bed. Sometimes patients sleep differently in hospital beds. These at-home tests allow patients to fall sleep exactly as they would each night because they are in their own beds.”

The Tennessean reports that many doctors are skeptical. Though the at-home tests could cost $ 900 less than they would in the hospital, home tests are not as complex and thorough as tests done in sleep labs, reports The Tennessean.

“People that have serious sleep disorders like obstructive sleep apnea might benefit by spending the extra money to go to a sleep clinic,” Maas said. “Obstructive sleep apnea is linked to obesity, diabetes and heart attacks. If left untreated, it can actually be fatal. If you believe you might be suffering from this disorder, you should probably go to a regular sleep clinic, even if it might be a bit of an inconvenience.”

How sleep apnea can affect your heart: http://t.co/cjxDPwNH – by valerie_writes (valerie jayne)

Enrollment First, Inc. and Aeroflow Partner for Convenient Sleep Apnea Testing and Education

Asheville, NC (PRWEB) January 15, 2013

Enrollment First, Inc. provides businesses with affordable, custom-made insurance enrollment options, specifically those businesses with unique insurance needs, such as trucking. We recognize common health threats to drivers, specifically sleep apnea, which can lead to fatal accidents and increasing healthcare costs. Together with Aeroflow, Enrollment First is launching new sleep apnea education and testing solutions.

Sleep apnea is a form of sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) occurs when the muscles of the throat relax obstructing the airway. The airway obstruction causes the level of oxygen in the blood to fall, increases stress levels on the heart, elevates blood pressure, and prevents the person from entering REM sleep (the restful and restorative stage of sleep). Risk factors that significantly increase the occurrence of OSA include being overweight (BMI of 30 or greater), large neck size (17’’ or greater for men and 16’’ or greater for women), smoking and alcohol use, and family history of OSA. Additionally, there are key symptoms associated with OSA that include loud snoring, excessive daytime sleepiness, disturbed sleep (i.e. waking frequently gasping for air), and frequent morning headaches.

Aeroflow Healthcare provides a turn-key solution for screening, testing, treatment, and compliance management of sleep disorders specially designed for members of the transportation industry. Utilizing in-home diagnostic sleep testing and telemedicine appointments allows for drivers to be tested and set-up on treatment with minimal to no time at all spent out of their truck. The partnership between Aeroflow and Enrollment First will allow the thousands of Enrollment First clients direct access to Aeroflow’s services giving owner operators the same level of high quality health care that W-2 drivers receive through employee benefit packages.

Enrollment First, Inc. is a compassionate leader in the healthcare industry. We have more than 10 years of experience providing health insurance options for independent contractors. We can even test members for sleep apnea at truck stops – saving money, time and potential lives. We are the insurance solution behind sleep apnea, and partnering with Aeroflow will further consolidate and speed up the process. Hazen Mirts, President and CEO of Enrollment First, says “We understand the concerns of independent contractors and have real solutions for their needs. We care about a healthy America – that’s why we offer flexible, comprehensive wellness programs and meet you where you are – at the truck stop, in the cab, or even in your home.”

Measures are being taken to ensure that drivers receive helpful and thorough information to protect themselves and others from danger on the road. Sleep Disorder education and a simple screening on sleep disorder probability are the first steps. Then, convenient in-home and in-truck sleep tests that are overseen by a Board Certified Sleep MD provide ease and efficiency. Finally, the program is designed to handle follow-up and ensure compliance with sleep therapy. Enrollment First looks forward to this venture with Aeroflow in sleep apnea education, testing and care.
