Bradenton, FL. Dental Sleep Solutions, the parent company of dental sleep medicine EMR software DS3 and medical billing service 4 Pillar Billing, announced today that it has completed major updates to its software and brand. These developments reflect the company’s ongoing dedication to making dental sleep medicine and medical billing simpler for dentists.
Their new DS3 software interface includes all of the powerful features that DS3 members currently enjoy while introducing a monumental leap forward in user-friendliness, intuitiveness, responsive design across devices, brand integration, and overall look and feel. In addition to the visible interface upgrades, the company has also completed a three-year initiative to rewrite the software’s back-end to allow for higher velocity product updates and new feature releases.
Dental Sleep Solutions’ refreshed brand and website further demonstrate the company’s vision to educate and enlist more dentists to address the pervasive Obstructive Sleep Apnea crisis, in which one out of every five adults in the United States suffer from the condition but 80% remain undiagnosed. The all-new DentalSleepSolutions.com helps reach and educate more dentists with an easy-to-navigate calendar of events and Continuing Education courses, helpful blog posts, resources for dentists at any point in their dental sleep journey, and much more.
“These foundational upgrades enable us to both enhance service to our existing members and make it easier for more dentists to start treating their patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea.” says Mark Noble, President of Dental Sleep Solutions. “This is the beginning of a new, exciting chapter in Dental Sleep Solutions’ history.”

Me. I. I try not to use either of those words, yet here I do it again…and again. How do you turn Me and I into WE? The answer is delegation, cooperation, and training.
My business consultant made a comment to me the other day that got my attention. Afterall, I do pay him each month; Rhonda says I should at least listen to what he says with an open ear. “One great employee is worth three good ones.” My first thought was yeah, right. Then he went on, “How come I can consult two businesses that do the exact same thing; they have the same number of employees; yet one of those businesses does $8M a year and the other only does $2M?”
It’s the employees. It’s YOUR employees. Do you engage them in your DSM practice? Do you let them interact with the patients? Within the bounds of your state dental board, do you allow each of them to do as much as possible? Or are you like most dentists, micromanaging your team and constantly looking over their shoulder? I hope not!
Here’s a quote from Herb Kelleher, perhaps you’ve heard of him; he’s the guy who started Southwest Airlines. “We have a strategic plan. It’s called doing things.”
Strive to build a stellar team who engages a patient, each at some point along the preferred path, from the first phone call, to tracking down sleep studies, to verifying insurance benefits, to getting the Rx/LOMN, to scanning, to follow up, etc. You are only as successful as your team.

There is always excitement and some fear when the New Year is upon us. The same can be said about the medical insurance landscape as well. Medicare recently issued a development notification that will specifically affect dentists that provide Medicare DME services..
On November 28 a notification was mailed to all Medicare Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics and Supplies (DMEPOS) providers.
The big question is why does this matter and how are you affected?
Dentists must now carry a Surety Bond in order to provide DME services to Medicare beneficiaries. Below are additional important details that require your timely action:
If you are in the process of the Medicare application process you should receive an email from your Medicare Analyst requesting the need of the Surety Bond documentation. Please review the email notification to ensure that you are adhering to the time frame to produce the request.
This has been a topic of conversation on many different forums. The National Supplier Clearinghouse (NSC) issued an article outlining the change. The regulations have yet to be updated in 42 CFR § 424.57(d)(15)(i)(C). The notated reason for the update is as follows: “In recent years the NSC has seen a spike in the enrollment of Dentists for DMEPOS services. Dentists were initially allowed the exemption for the surety bond requirement”. Think about that for a moment! Dentists have impacted Medicare’s DME significantly enough to be defined as a “spike”. This means that Dental Sleep Medicine is moving the needle! That is a testament to your continued pursuit in providing options to ensure that people do not go untreated.
Medicare can be difficult to navigate. Your billing service provider will be well versed in the updates and will be a your valuable resource. They will be the GPS for your practice and get you to the correct place without re-routing. We are always available to provide assistance as needed.

Let’s discuss the 3 primary ways you can use Home Sleep Testing (HST) in your practice:
There are pros and cons to each of these options. Whichever method you use, dentists should be screening patients, and we should be using home sleep tests as titration methods for patients that we treat with OSA.

Just back from family vacation in the mountains of southern California. Cool mornings, warm afternoons. Each morning we walked up to the ski lift where, despite the 80 degree heat and barren slopes, there was a bevy of activity and workers. I ran into Jake, “El Jefe”, and he shared with me a few of the reasons the ski season goes so well for them. They work hard in the “off season”, making sure that the slopes are groomed, overgrowth is trimmed back, the lifts are serviced, chairs fixed, picnic tables made, and on and on he went. I couldn’t help but think about how this relates to what we do in Dental Sleep Medicine.
We monitor a lot of statistics around my office, and for nearly a decade now, the slowest months of the year for me have been July through September. What to do? Worry? Thumb twiddling? Take up knitting? No. Be like Jake. Get ready for the snow. Believe that it is coming.
Be proactive and productive. Instead, work on stuff like this:
Remember that success is contingent upon preparation. Don’t take up knitting in July. Follow the steps above instead. Also, remember, this will put you in a better position when the snow is falling and patients have met their deductibles. Don’t be passive. Take an active role in your the future of your practice. Make it snow!
