Humana to cover sleep apnea screening, therapy

Humana has contracted with SleepQuest to expand access to affordable obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) screening, diagnostic, therapy, and compliance services for the insurer's PPO and Medicare members.

Of particular importance to SleepQuest will be its ability to provide a comprehensive program of patient monitoring and compliance services extending far beyond the traditional initiation of therapy, the company noted in a press release. Employing telehealth services, SleepQuest's proprietary protocols of education, motivation, and intervention allow the company to proactively manage and optimize the patient's adherence to a sleep therapy program.

Both new and existing Humana patients will be able to take advantage of MySleepQuest.com, which provides screening and educational tools, therapy selection, and an opportunity to discuss sleep apnea with a sleep care specialist.
