17
Q

ASV

Adaptive servo ventilation

A

18
Q

Coverage period’s

A

Initial coverage. First three months of therapy. Continued coverage. Be on the first three months

19
Q

F2F requirements

A

F2F Prior to ss. C/O OSA sx
Duration of symptoms.

A

Greater than or equal to five and less than equal to 14 events per hour. Minimum of 10 events. EDS. Impaired cognition, Mood disorders, insomnia, HTN, ischemic heart disease, or history of stroke

23
Q

Bi- level w/o back up rate

A

CPAP tried and failed or proven ineffective. Physician documents proper mask. Appropriate pressure setting. Lower pressure fail to control improve or reduce AHI

24
Q

Continuing coverage of pap therapy

A

Reevaluate between 31 to 90 days of initial therapy. Documentation of clinical benefits of therapy i.e. down low. Symptoms of OSA improved. 4+hrs, 70% of consecutive 30 days within first three months

25
Q

A

New F2F. Repeat SS. Diagnostic ,titration, or split night

26
Q

PAP to Bi- level

A

Call find reasons CPAP tried found and effective. CPAP used for 3+ months and change to buy level will start a three month trial again
