Why I Took This Course

After completing the sleep apnea CE course taught by Dr. Jonathan Ford, dentist in Huntington Beach, I discovered a new clinical pathway that enhances my ability to care for patients beyond traditional dentistry. I enrolled to expand my services and was blown away by how much value this course offered for both patient outcomes and practice operations.

Clinical Benefits for My Patients

This course provided the training I needed to screen for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), implement home sleep testing protocols, and deliver customized mandibular advancement devices (MADs). Since finishing the course, I’ve been able to help patients breathe and sleep better, which has improved their energy levels, overall health, and even their relationships. The clinical instruction was thorough, evidence-based, and hands-on.

Business Growth Through Reimbursement

One of the standout aspects of the training was its emphasis on implementation—especially around medical billing and insurance coding for MADs. The course broke down how to create a predictable, reimbursable workflow. Not only has this added a valuable new service line to my practice, but it has also brought in consistent reimbursement without needing to rely on elective procedures alone.

Final Thoughts

Thanks to this experience, I’ve expanded my scope of care and added something truly life-changing to my clinical toolbox. The sleep apnea CE course wasn’t just a check-the-box training—it was a transformative experience led by Dr. Ford that now helps me deliver better health outcomes and financial stability to my practice.
