Abstract:
Sleep medicine has been a rapidly growing field for the last 15 years. Medicare and private payer insurers continually examine testing and treatment closely to monitor potential fraudulent practices. In this article, we explore responses by some practitioners to adapt to policy changes. In addition, we offer advice to clinicians on how to review their customary office procedures and involve patients in overcoming administrative obstacles to the diagnostic and therapeutic course agreed upon by a doctor and patient.
