ACHC recognized by Oklahoma as an accrediting choice for sleep diagnostic testing.

The "Oklahoma Sleep Diagnostic Testing Regulation Act" (Senate Bill 810) was recently signed into law, stating that there is a growing need for sleep diagnostic testing in the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders. Accreditation Commission for Healthcare, Inc., (ACHC) was recognized as an accrediting body that sleep diagnostic testing facilities can use in order to meet the new standards set forth in the bill. The new law requires facilities and physicians to adhere to certain standards, it also slates that on and after January 1, 2010, sleep diagnostic testing facilities will be required to be fully or provisionally certified or accredited. Approved for DMEPOS accreditation by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, ACHC recently launched a new sleep lab accreditation program that was created specifically for freestanding and hospital based sleep labs and includes the clinical aspect of patient care focusing on the Jesting of a patient. ACHC is a not-for-profit organization that has stood as a symbol of quality and excellence since 1986. ACHC is the provider's choice for DMEPOS accreditation because of personal account managers, relevant and realistic standards, competitive pricing and a friendly, consultative approach to accreditation.
