Hey there, folks! It’s time to chat about Payer Advocacy and how we can all get involved to make a difference in the world of sleep medicine. Your voices matter, and we want to rally together to represent the interests of sleep facilities and providers. Check out our current collection of template letters designed for reaching out to payers and other key stakeholders.
Get Involved!
We encourage you to take action! Explore the letters sent to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for advocacy purposes and in response to their rulemaking process. We also have letters directed at private insurers that highlight our advocacy efforts.
Wondering how payer policies stack up against clinical guidelines? Our Payer Policy Scorecards provide a comprehensive look at how well payers align with recommended practices. Plus, if you’re interested in hypopnea scoring, our Hypopnea Scoring Alignment tracker shows which payers have adopted our scoring criteria.

We’ve been actively advocating for improvements on Prior Authorization requirements, so you can stay informed about what’s happening in that space.
In recent news, CMS has published a national coverage memo regarding noninvasive ventilation for chronic respiratory failure due to COPD. This is a big deal! Also, there have been updates to the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System that you won’t want to miss. And, there’s been a congressional bill passed to extend telehealth flexibilities, which is great for us all!
