In a video statement on the AASM website, AASM President-Elect Timothy I. Morganthaler, MD provides a look at the AASM’s efforts to introduce quality outcomes measurements into the field of sleep. By treating sleep disorders and providing quality measures, sleep physicians can offer payers long-term cost savings by preventing costly health conditions such as heart disease or diabetes. This will ensure a future for sleep medicine coverage. Members are encouraged to view the video statement for a full explanation of these efforts.
More information is available to members in the Practice Management page of the AASM website. If you have questions regarding practice management issues, please submit your concerns to the AASM at coding@aasm.org.
