The Challenge
Diagnose and proactively manage sleep and respiratory conditions at home
Sleep is crucial to health and productivity. Approximately 70 million Americans suffer from sleep disorders. 80% of moderate and severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), the most common sleep disorder, goes undiagnosed.2 In addition to $150 billion of lost productivity and increased workplace incidences, with 55-70% comorbidity rate, the cost of untreated sleep apnea also increases the risk of costly health complications such as hypertension, heart disease, diabetes and depression. Diagnosis can require high cost sleep facilities, and even once diagnosed, fewer than 50% of members adhere to their sleep therapy. With current supply chain challenges, ensuring member access to equipment is more challenging than ever.
A comprehensive sleep therapy and respiratory management program benefits health plans by:
- Redirecting sleep tests to the home when clinically appropriate
- Increasing therapy adherence with daily monitoring and proactive member engagement
- Preventing unnecessary overutilization of sleep and respiratory supplies
- Ensuring on-time starts
Program Results
Our Approach
As the first sleep benefits manager in the industry, CareCentrix empowers the home with a whole person “diagnosis-to-therapy” approach that addresses four key issues impacting sleep therapy and respiratory management today — care setting, member adherence, and high supply cost and network management.
When appropriate, CareCentrix facilitates at-home sleep testing, closely managing members to follow-through, which greatly improves test completion rates and turnaround times for OSA diagnosis and access to therapy.
Our data-driven sleep management adherence program, iComply, has a team of respiratory therapists and sleep medicine physicians to monitor proper adherence and utilization, and applies real-time data from the member’s PAP device to validate usage, advancing treatment by collaborating with providers to improve therapy success. For members who may still struggle with compliance, we review our device pipeline to recommend alternative therapies and technology to support members in receiving a restful night sleep.
