Want to check a few sleep labs out

Post by Stevoreno_55 » Wed Apr 16, 2014 4:55 am

Is there a website that I can go to and see if a sleep lab or labs are accredited and in good standing with the sleep lab testing industry? I can't remember the name of the agency that is like the AMA that oversees sleep labs. Does such an agency still exist?

This site offers accreditation services.
I'm unaware of a site that lists sleep center accreditation status.
If a particular site has a web page, perhaps they list their status there.

Thanks; I found that site soon after I posted here. Seems like you have to be a pro member to read about the labs. I'll contact them later today and ask.
