CPAP Services and
Sleep Disorders Treatment

Lakeland Health Services offers therapeutic services to our patients who may benefit from positive pressure therapy. The most common and most effective treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the use of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) or Bi-Level Positive Airway Pressure (BiPAP). CPAP and BiPAP therapy is non-invasive and considered the first line treatment for OSA. The general theory behind this type of treatment is that it applies a positive pressure to the airway to keep it from closing during sleep.

Upon your decision to use Lakeland Health Services for your therapy needs, our staff will take you through an extensive education session on the use of CPAP or BiPAP. The advantage to using Lakeland Health Services for your OSA therapy needs is that you will not only have received the most thorough education possible, but you will also be followed very closely by members of our staff. Compliance is a common issue with CPAP therapy; our experience has shown that proper mask fit and patient education combined with experienced professional CPAP specialists results in outstanding results and patient compliance.

Ongoing Support

Our compliance program includes Lakeland initiated follow-up calls made to CPAP/BiPAP patients 3 days, 30 days, 60 days and every 6 months thereafter after initiation of equipment use. We also offer free mask exchange during the first 30 days to make certain your mask is the best available for you.

We have full time CPAP Specialists available to help with any ongoing equipment and supply needs. An auto-mail program is also available to interested patients for ongoing supply requirements.

CPAP and BiPAP therapy equipment and supplies are covered by all insurances when medically necessary.

If treated with CPAP, you should notice a decrease in daytime sleepiness, improved alertness, and an increase in quality of life, related to better sleep quality.

Some people notice changes right away; others take several weeks before they notice an improvement.
