What are the responsibilities and job description for the Polysomnographic Technologist position at Mid-West Center for Sleep Disorders?
Mid-West Center for Sleep Disorders (MWCSD) — a physician-owned,
AASM-accredited sleep medicine practice — is hiring a Daytime
Registered Polysomnographic Technologist for our Lansing lab and
clinic. This is a daytime role (Monday–Friday) focused on
diagnostic testing, CPAP management, Inspire programming, and
patient education — no overnight shifts required.
You will work directly with our Technical Director (RPSGT) and a
board-certified sleep medicine physician (Dr. Vishal Saini,
FAASM, D-ABSM). We are an independent, physician-owned practice —
not a hospital-system satellite — with a small, tight team and
direct access to the medical director for clinical questions.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Perform daytime diagnostic testing: Multiple Sleep Latency
Testing (MSLT), Maintenance of Wakefulness Testing (MWT),
and expanded EEG studies.
- Dispense, educate on, and troubleshoot home sleep testing
(HST) devices for appropriate patients.
- Run CPAP/BiPAP clinic — mask fitting, PAP setup, adherence
data review, device troubleshooting, and patient coaching.
- Program and adjust Inspire (hypoglossal nerve stimulator)
devices under physician supervision.
- Score overnight studies to AASM criteria for physician
interpretation.
- Prepare charts for upcoming studies and ensure patient
intake materials are complete.
- Document patient encounters accurately in Athena EHR.
- Support referring-provider follow-up and insurance
authorization workflows as needed.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Current RPSGT credential (BRPT) in good standing.
(RST, CPFT, RPFT, CRT, or RRT credentials also eligible per
LCD L36839 and may be considered.)
- Current BLS certification (or willingness to obtain within
30 days of hire).
- Minimum 1 year of sleep lab experience preferred; new
graduates with completed clinical rotations will be
considered.
- Comfort with scoring in Compumedics Profusion or similar
PSG software.
- Strong patient-education skills — much of the role is
coaching CPAP users through initial setup and compliance.
PREFERRED (NOT REQUIRED)
- Prior Inspire (hypoglossal nerve stimulator) programming
experience.
- Pediatric PSG experience.
- Experience with Athena EHR documentation.
- Michigan residence; reliable transportation.
COMPENSATION
- $28–$32 per hour, based on experience and credentials.
- FLSA overtime on any hours over 40 per week.
- Shift premium available for occasional weekend coverage
(MSLT scheduling).
BENEFITS (FULL-TIME)
- Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance (opt-in) —
eligibility begins the first of the month following 90 days
of employment.
- 12 days PTO in Year 1; 15 days Year 2 .
- Retention bonus at Year 1 and Year 2 anniversaries.
- CEU reimbursement, BRPT recertification support, and
in-practice training on advanced modalities (Inspire,
pediatric PSG, expanded EEG).
- Part-time positions receive prorated PTO at 20 hours/week
and a premium hourly rate; health benefits not included.
