Summary
Health Net has issued new guidance encouraging providers to screen and treat sleep apnea disorders using specific screening tools and diagnostic criteria. This is primarily educational guidance about sleep apnea risk factors, screening methods, and treatment options rather than a billing or coverage policy change.
Action Required
Immediately: Providers should review sleep apnea screening protocols and consider implementing STOP-Bang questionnaire, Berlin Questionnaire, or Sleep Apnea Clinical Score (SACS) during routine health exams for at-risk patients. Contact Health Net Provider Services within 60 days if questions arise about this guidance.
