OSA Diagnosis Management with NovaSom Home Sleep Tests

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) diagnosis is a rapidly growing category of medical expense and utilization is increasing dramatically due to the increased awareness and prevalence of OSA and associated co-morbidities. Payers should consider implementing OSA diagnosis management programs to proactively manage this rising expense.

Employers are becoming increasingly aware of the burden of sleep disorders on productivity and healthcare costs and payers must be prepared to have answers. Working in conjunction with primary care physicians, Sleep Centers, PAP manufacturers and elightened therapy providers, NovaSom reduces the cost of OSA management for national and regional payers.

Home Sleep Testing with NovaSom allows payers to optimize site of service triage and achieve cost savings. NovaSom partners with major national and regional health insurers, covering more than 165 million American lives as of January 1, 2012. We align with payer-preferred therapy partners achieving superior cost and compliance outcomes, removing waste from the system. The coordination of diagnoses and therapy adherence is an important, measurable dimension of our value, given the savings associated with therapy adherence.

We do more than provide diagnostic tests to patients. We partner with health plans to better manage their OSA patients. An efficient Sleep Management Continuum of diagnosis and treatment yields better outcomes for both payers and their members.
