Hi all!
I'm a Polysomnographic Technologist with a question regarding ALS patients, BiPAP, and whether insurance companies require normal "qualification" (via a PSG study) for BiPAP with ALS patients.
Actually...That is the question...When a Dr decides to Rx BiPAP for an ALS Pt, does the Ins Co require a PSG to show "need" like they do for traditional PSG Pts, or are there different circumstances, given the degenerative nature of ALS?
Thanks!
