  • Effective immediately, this milestone achievement allows millions of Medicare beneficiaries coverage and reimbursement for allowable charges billable to Medicare.
  • “Prior to these latest developments, moderate to severe OSA patients on Medicare were relegated almost entirely to a lifetime of some form of CPAP—something most patients find undesirable.
  • Our CARE oral medical devices, on the other hand, can significantly improve and even resolve OSA in about 12 months, with no further intervention required in most cases,” said Kirk Huntsman, Vivos Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
  • “We are very pleased the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) recognizes and validates the benefits our FDA cleared devices can have on the lives of patients diagnosed with OSA.
