NSS is a comprehensive program that offers a cost effective/time sensitive solution for diagnosing and treating Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). OSA is a serious, potentially life-threatening condition. Millions of people suffer from OSA, and while it is extremely prevalent, it is largely undiagnosed.

We use a secure, web-based questionnaire to assist in screening candidates for signs and symptoms of OSA. For those patients that qualify, and with physician order, we use a portable monitoring system to diagnose whether or not the patient has OSA. Our goal is to have the study in the patient’s hands for testing within 48 hours of receiving the order from the physician. NSS will verify insurance and inform patients of applicable co-pays.

NSS utilizes the Homelink referral network to assist with getting patients set up with their diagnostic study and if necessary, the Auto titrating CPAP. We understand that adjusting to CPAP therapy can be a challenge, so we’re committed to coaching patients by offering compliance monitoring. With proper use, the benefits of using CPAP may be felt by the patient as soon as the first night of use.
