Dr. Charles Champion of Champion Dentistry in Philadelphia has been officially credentialed to provide oral appliance therapy for veterans suffering from sleep apnea, marking a significant advancement in non-invasive sleep disorder treatment. Through partnerships with Sleep Impressions and Millennium Sleep Lab, both companies under the apZme network, Dr. Champion can now offer veterans in the Philadelphia area an alternative treatment for sleep apnea. These organizations serve as National Community Care Providers for the Veterans Administration (VA). Veterans who struggle with traditional Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) devices can now access oral appliance therapy as a covered benefit.
This treatment option provides a more comfortable approach to managing sleep apnea, addressing the challenges many patients face with standard CPAP equipment. The collaboration between Dr. Champion, apZme, Sleep Impressions, Millennium Sleep Lab, and the VA represents a comprehensive effort to expand treatment options for veterans experiencing sleep-disordered breathing. With over 20 years of experience in dental sleep medicine, these organizations are committed to improving patient health and quality of life. Dr. Champion expressed his commitment to veteran care, stating, "It's an honor and privilege to serve our veterans. As a community care provider, we can help veterans manage sleep apnea with comfortable and effective alternatives to CPAP."
Millennium Sleep Lab, which is accredited by the Joint Commission and fully HIPAA compliant, brings additional credibility to this treatment approach. The organization accepts most private insurance, ensuring accessible and reliable treatment pathways for veterans. This development highlights the evolving landscape of sleep disorder treatment, demonstrating how specialized dental practices can play a crucial role in addressing complex health challenges for veterans. The credentialing process enables veterans to access covered benefits for oral appliance therapy, providing an important alternative for those who cannot tolerate traditional CPAP treatment methods.
The partnership structure allows veterans to receive care through established community providers while maintaining VA coverage benefits. This model represents a shift toward more personalized treatment approaches for sleep disorders, particularly for veteran populations who may have unique healthcare needs. The availability of oral appliance therapy through credentialed providers like Dr. Champion addresses both comfort and effectiveness concerns that have limited CPAP compliance among some veteran patients. This expansion of treatment options reflects broader trends in healthcare toward integrating dental and medical approaches to manage chronic conditions like sleep apnea.
