As Figure A demonstrates, OSA patients undergoing CPAP therapy were far less likely to experience a cardiac event compared to individuals diagnosed with OSA who did not follow CPAP therapy protocol; 9% of treated patients vs. 30% of untreated.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243;][et_pb_image _builder_version=&#8221;3.8&#8243; src=&#8221;https:\/\/navigationadvertising.com\/c\/sleepcenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Compliance_Report.png&#8221; show_in_lightbox=&#8221;on&#8221; \/][et_pb_blurb admin_label=&#8221;Measurably Better Outcomes \u2013 Even for Patients Who Have Previously Tried &amp; Failed to Wear CPAP&#8221; title=&#8221;Measurably Better Outcomes \u2013 Even for Patients Who Have Previously Tried &amp; Failed to Wear CPAP&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.8&#8243; header_font=&#8221;|on|||&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; max_width_tablet=&#8221;50px&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>In an objectively measured study, our patients demonstrated treatment compliance of over 87% (national average is 62%). Figure B compares the compliance data after 90 days of treatment from Encore of over 2,000 consecutive BCBS patients treated with CPAP dispensed by Sleep Centers of Middle Tennessee to the complete national database of 6.8 million patients treated by DME companies.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243;][et_pb_image _builder_version=&#8221;3.8&#8243; src=&#8221;https:\/\/navigationadvertising.com\/c\/sleepcenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Payment.png&#8221; show_in_lightbox=&#8221;on&#8221; \/][et_pb_blurb admin_label=&#8221;Reduced Cost&#8221; title=&#8221;Reduced Cost&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.8&#8243; header_font=&#8221;|on|||&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; max_width_tablet=&#8221;50px&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>With combined diagnostic and treatment protocols, our state of the art sleep labs are able to provide the most economic option for an in-lab sleep study in the region (1\/3 the cost of hospitals) while delivering the highest standard of care (Figure C).
