Independent Sleep Practice Accreditation

Why Become Accredited?

The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) accreditation reflects a commitment to ensure that sleep disorders patients receive the highest quality of care.

AASM accreditation is a voluntary process for the assessment of sleep programs. By achieving accreditation, an independent sleep practice demonstrates a commitment to the provision of quality home sleep apnea testing diagnostic services and/or long-term management of sleep patients.

In a growing number of states, accreditation is required for reimbursement of many sleep medicine services, including HSAT and clinical services.

Independent Sleep Practice Accreditation

Independent Sleep Practice Accreditation is available to sleep practices that manage patients with all sleep disorders and conduct home sleep apnea testing (HSAT) but do not have a lab for in-center sleep studies. This program replaces the HSAT Stand-alone accreditation that was previously offered to similar practices.
