The AASM reports that Trailblazer, the Medicare carrier for Texas and surrounding states (not Mississippi) has decided reimbursement rates for home testing for OSA:
G0399: Home Sleep Testing, Type III portable monitor; minimum 4 channels - $125.00 - $85 is recognized for the Professional Component - $35 is recognized for the Technical Component
With a low reimbursement like this, home testing is not going to quickly become widespread.
Somnus Sleep Clinic is trying out its Type III home testing device tonight. I should be able to let you know next week how it worked out.
