VGM Sleep Services has achieved accreditation from the Healthcare Quality Association on Accreditation (HQAA).

In a June 19 announcement, VGM said the accreditation makes its sleep division “one of only a few outsourced clinical service programs in the post-acute homecare industry.”

VGM describes its Sleep Services as “a CPAP setup and compliance program that aims to create relationships with patients for ongoing care and success. This program helps our members with staffing, revenue and patient compliance. By using Sleep Services as their outsourced clinical service, the member/provider can be more efficient and reduce costs as opposed to hiring additional clinicians.”

Sleep Services was introduced in December 2022 with the goals of supporting and improving patient compliance while also increasing provider revenue from resupply sales.

“I could not be prouder of our team here at VGM Sleep Services,” said Boone Lockard, VP of clinical services, VGM & Associates. “This milestone signifies the commitment we are making to create the most intuitive and robust PAP setup/compliance program that the market has to offer. This is one of many significant moves yet to come.”

“Becoming accredited with HQAA signifies a commitment to excellence and trustworthiness in the field of sleep health,” said John Carter, VP of sleep and respiratory compliance services. “It is a mark of quality that assures our DME partners and their patients of the highest standards of care, safety, and professional integrity.”
