Physician and Dental Offices

 

  • When performing diagnostic or therapeutic procedures, office-based anesthesia allows you more freedom to concentrate on your task at hand.

  • At no cost to your office Providian can help relieve anxiety and discomfort for your patient. Light to moderate sedation is administered while monitoring all of the patient’s vital signs with equipment we provide.

  • We provide all the supplies, medications, and monitoring and emergency equipment necessary for anesthesia delivery. All anesthesia providers are ACLS certified, and PALS certified when providing care for children.

  • Providian uses only experienced anesthesia providers, no new graduates. Many of our providers bring years of specialty expertise with them in the areas of sedation for interventional pain, plastics, dental, urology, and ENT to name a few. All of our providers are experts in airway and patient management.

  • Patient safety is number one. Providian maintains current and safe guidelines for office based procedural sedation.

How It Works:

  • First, Providian will meet with you to learn:

    • What types of procedures are performed in your office? Will your patients’ sedation needs require any specific equipment or medications? Procedural sedation can definitely be tailored to maximize both yours and the patient’s procedural experience and results.

    • Will Providian bill the patient’s insurance, or will patients self-pay? We maintain payer contracts with most payers, and have an established credit payment system for self pay clients.

    • How often would your office like to use sedation services? Regardless of the number of procedure days a week you are considering, we can help establish an efficient, consolidated schedule.

    • Where will the patient receive care before, during, and after their procedure and sedation? Providian brings years of experience in laying out and setting up office space for procedures and sedation. We can help you figure the best way to utilize space for procedure days, and non-procedure days.

  • Once the office logistics are worked out we bring in the necessary supplies, equipment, monitors, and medications for:

    • Pre-procedural evaluation

    • Procedural sedation

    • Post procedural recovery

    • Emergency resuscitation.

    • Providian maintains all supply chain ordering for medications, oxygen, and supplies.

  • On procedure days a CRNA from Providian will:

    • Perform a standardized pre-anesthesia evaluation assessing the patient’s readiness as in accordance with ASA/AANA guidelines for elective procedures.

    • Provide sedation and monitoring for each patient as per ASA/AANA guidelines and standards.

    • Be onsite to ensure appropriate recovery prior to discharge.
