Home Sleep Testing Overview
In 2008, Medicare made a landmark decision to approve coverage for unattended Home Sleep Testing (HST) to qualify patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome for CPAP therapy. Other large commercial insurers such as Aetna quickly adopted similar policies, and many others now allow HST for patients with a suspicion of OSA based on a physician assessment. With some estimates at 43,000,000 Americans with sleep disordered breathing and more than 80% of those estimated to be undiagnosed, there is a huge population of suffering patients looking for relief via CPAP or other treatments. Take a look at your profitability now, and get ready to watch it explode when you take advantage of this huge market opportunity with IDS Sleep.

Here the supplier name will be suppressed from all IDS/physician correspondence, marketing pieces, forms and test reports. However, your name will still be visible to patients and presented on a medical release form which still gives you visibility to test reports as soon as the signed form is processed.
