NEUROLOGY, EPILEPSY & SLEEP SPECIALIST — TRICARE ACCEPTED
WHY REFER YOUR TRICARE PATIENTS TO US
​
Your TRICARE patients frequently present multiple issues ranging from concussion or TBI, to PTSD, sleep disorders, beyond the basics of sleep apnea. Many of these patients get LOST in the system, trying to get comprehensive care. Many of these patients need both neurologic and sleep evaluations — but most practices make them choose.
At CSMA we handle complex cases under one roof, reducing the referral chain and getting your patients answers faster, with proper treatment and follow-up. It is more than just testing. It’s about continuity of care from a team that understands the issues. Check out our credentials at www.csma.clinic/about-comprehensive-sleep-medicine-associates.
We are recognized nationally as a leading sleep institution in the field of sleep medicine.

​THE CONCUSSION-SLEEP CONNECTION
​
Up to 50% of patients with concussion or TBI develop sleep disturbances — insomnia, hypersomnia, or circadian disruption. These are often missed because neurology and sleep are separate referral pathways. Our physician's dual board certification means one referral covers the full picture:
-
Neurological evaluation of post-concussion symptoms
-
EEG if seizure activity or cortical dysfunction is suspected
-
Sleep study to identify sleep disorder as a complicating factor
-
Integrated report
-
Provide follow up care with our medical providers, making the treatment easy for the referring provider.
-
We handle all pre-auth documentation for diagnostic and treatment components of care.
