ProSomnus comments on insurance coverage policy update

ProSomnus welcomes the adoption of UnitedHealthcare’s updated medical policy for Obstructive and Central Sleep Apnea, effective March 1, 2024. The updated policy will establish oral appliance therapy, such as ProSomnus’s Precision OAT devices, as prerequisite therapy for Implantable Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation in adult patients with moderate to severe OSA. Specifically, the policy states, “Failure of adequate trial of Oral Appliance therapy,” as the new medical policy of UHC. “I am pleased to see this policy update acknowledging the role of oral appliances in the continuum of care for Obstructive Sleep Apnea,” commented Edward T. Sall, MD, DDS, MBA. “Recent research has demonstrated that modern, precision oral appliances are effective and safe. It is good medical practice to exhaust the available, non-invasive, reversible treatment options before moving to surgical options.”
