AZ-TMJ – Now Reaching Even More Patients with Their Effective Sleep Apnea Treatments

Dr. Stan Farrell’s leading center for effective sleep apnea treatments now billing insurance and aid programs

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- AZ-TMJ is continuing to lead the way with innovative and effective treatments for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). With approximately 1 in 5 adults having at least mild sleep apnea, and 1 in 15 classified as moderate sleep apnea sufferers, Dr. Stan Farrell is excited to announce the new addition of DME (durable medical equipment) billing.

Sleep apnea is a disorder where a person’s ability to breath is impaired, resulting in a restless sleep and often times snoring. “It’s important for patients to thoroughly understand the latent severity of OSA,” explained Dr. Farrell. “OSA is more than just snoring. It can be potentially life-threatening and requires medical attention.” With the ability to now process sleep apnea appliances through insurances and aid programs, the intraoral device developed by Dr. Farrell will be available to help even more patients suffering from sleep apnea than ever before.

The intraoral device enlarges the pharynx, allowing a significant improvement in snoring if patients are appropriately pre-screened with regard to their individual anatomy. After a thorough exam, AZ-TMJ can determine if an intraoral device is right for you. This device can be used with a Positive Airway Pressure unit (CPAP) to improve performance. Dr. Farrell has extensive training in Sleep Medicine, and has successfully provided many patients with custom oral appliances that not only treated their sleep apnea, but often eliminated their snoring all together.
