Aetna’s plan provides coverage for approximately 22 million members.
“We are very pleased to receive this positive coverage decision from Aetna.

These include a previous attempt at continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment and patient selection consistent with FDA approval guidelines.
Inspire therapy is an innovative, closed-loop, minimally invasive solution that provides comfort and convenience, resulting in high compliance for patients with moderate to severe OSA. The safety and efficacy of Inspire therapy is supported by a significant body of clinical data, which includes a publication in the New England Journal of Medicine and more than 50 peer-reviewed publications. Inspire obtained CE Mark for its Inspire therapy in 2010 and FDA approval in 2014. To date, physicians have treated more than 3,000 patients worldwide with Inspire therapy.
