Week 1
In-Depth Understanding of the Model with Legal Implications

The first week’s curriculum focuses on a comprehensive understanding of the model with an emphasis on legal implications, particularly how they relate to treatment and management companies. It delves into the roles of these entities, the intricacies of the medical office process, and strategies for managing severe patients. This foundation is crucial for attendees, offering insights into the legal and operational frameworks that underpin effective and compliant healthcare provision.

Week 2
Titration Protocol

During the second week, the program shifts towards the practical implementation of dental sleep medicine. This segment encourages a significant mindset shift for dental practitioners to embrace the role of sleep practitioners fully. Key topics include effective patient communication to establish trust, the importance of patient history, and the roles and responsibilities of team members. Additionally, the components of both dental and sleep exams are explored in depth, providing a holistic view of patient assessment and treatment planning.

Week 3
Oral Appliance Selection

The third week offers a deeper dive into the specifics of sleep study, including the key components of the sleep study report and the payer requirements for therapy coverage. The week culminates with hands-on sessions on oral exams, patient consultation and exam, and the necessary documentation. Insights from Dr. Lauck on “In My Practice” provide real-world applications of these principles. Furthermore, this week covers oral appliance selection, the nuances of device selection, required documentation, lab partner selection, and the assignment of benefits, alongside a demonstration of the PDAC.

Week 4
Identifying Good Fits – Recognizing Medical Office’s Partner Score

The fourth week marks a pivotal transition towards growth and forging effective partnerships within the context of dental sleep medicine. This final phase of the program is designed to equip participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to expand their practice through strategic collaborations. Emphasis is placed on identifying good fits with medical offices by understanding and leveraging the Partner Score—a metric that gauges the compatibility and potential for mutual benefit between dental practices and medical providers. This week is dedicated to nurturing a business mindset that prioritizes sustainable growth, professional networking, and the cultivation of partnerships that enhance patient care and practice development. Through focusing on these aspects, participants are prepared to navigate the complexities of integrating dental sleep medicine into their practice, ensuring a broader impact on patient health and practice success.
