The Curriculum

Six Modules. Everything Your Team Needs.

Each module builds on the last — from clinical fundamentals to chair-side scripts to insurance billing. Complete all six and your practice is fully certified for OSA and TMJ co-management.

Learning Outcomes

After Completing the Sleep Academy Your Team Will Be Able To…

Screen for OSA in Under 3 Minutes

Integrate the STOP-BANG questionnaire and Epworth Sleepiness Scale into your existing chair-side workflow without disrupting appointment flow.

Identify High-Risk Patients With Confidence

Recognize the anatomical, behavioral, and systemic risk factors that flag a patient as a strong OSA or TMJ candidate — and know when to refer.

Understand the TMJ-Airway Connection

Recognize dual-diagnosis candidates, understand how bruxism and TMJ relate to sleep-disordered breathing, and co-manage appropriately.

Have the Sleep Conversation Without Overreach

Use proven scripts to raise OSA risk with patients naturally — without clinical overreach — and guide them confidently through the referral pathway.

Bill Medical Insurance for Sleep Cases

Understand the ICD-10 and CDT codes for sleep medicine, how oral appliance therapy bills as a medical benefit, and how to document correctly.

Add a High-Margin Revenue Stream

Activate the DEEPdormir two-way referral relationship and begin building $5K–$20K/month in sleep and TMJ revenue inside your existing practice.

Built from 28 Years of Treating Real Patients

“I built this curriculum from the protocols we use every day across our 7 Long Island locations. There’s no theory here — every module is something we actually do. When your team completes this training, they will genuinely be able to identify patients who are suffering quietly, and they will know exactly what to do about it.”
