Once diagnosed, and fitted with a CPAP, the medical provider instructs the patient to utilize the CPAP for at least 4 hours per night. Attaching the CPAP to an electronic digital application gives the clinic staff remote access to utilization information.
The provider now knows if the patient is wearing the CPAP for the prescribed 4 hours per night regardless of the location the rest is occurring. The risk of noncompliance (using CPAP less than 4 hour per night) involves the loss of public money (Medicare) as the pay source.
Utilization managers will review individual data and refuse to allocate funds from Medicare for up keep, supply, and maintenance of equipment not being used as provider ordered. This tightens the relationship between patient, payer, and provider. Risk and responsibility are being moved in to a more shared space.
