Give us a brief history of your company.
Home Sleep Delivered is located in Lafayette, LA where we opened our doors in March of 2010 with the goal of offering people a convenient and cost-effective way to have a sleep study done in the comfort of their own home. That same year we became accredited by the Joint Commission of Healthcare Organizations. In 2013, Home Sleep Delivered became the first and only home sleep testing company to join the network of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana. The relationship has been such a success that in July 2016 Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana. changed their sleep study policy to not cover facility-based sleep studies when the member meets the criteria to have a home sleep study instead. Today our geographical footprint reaches all 50 states and still offers people a simple way to diagnose and treat their sleep apnea within the comfort of their own environment.
What would you tell the rest of Acadiana makes you special?
Home Sleep Delivered prides itself on patient education and customer service. Not everyone knows what they are getting themselves into when their Doctor orders a home sleep study for them. We make sure that the person is educated on sleep apnea and the sleep testing technology itself. We provide around the clock service for anyone with questions while administering their sleep study, day or night. We have qualified clinicians on staff to review the sleep study results with the individual and discuss diagnosis and treatment options if necessary.
What are you most proud of?
We are proud to be Louisiana’s first locally owned and operated home sleep testing company currently reaching all 50 states while not sacrificing the quality of service that got us here.
Where do you see your business in 10 years? What are your plans for the future?
With over 11,000 baby boomers turning 65 every year for the next 20 years, our system must take advantage of smarter more cost-efficient healthcare solutions. With our service being the most cost-efficient and convenient solution on the market, we will begin to see more payers such as Blue Cross Blue Shield of LA embrace home sleep testing. Our plan is to not only be the company that patients look to when it comes to all things sleep related. Our mission is to educate, nurture, and inspire people to live better lives. We will accomplish our mission through executing on a vision of becoming one of the most helpful healthcare companies in the country, admired for its performance, people, and partnership.
