NovaSom introduces MediTrack OSA management platform

NovaSom, Inc., the leader in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) home testing and cost-containment solutions, announces the launch of its next generation MediTrack^® cloud-based CRM application. The MediTrack OSA management platform is designed to enable custom processing of payer-specific medical policy, billing, utilization management and therapy coordination requirements to efficiently manage home sleep testing, OSA diagnosis and recommended therapy.

NovaSom's proprietary MediTrack system allows physicians to order a NovaSom home sleep test online or by fax. The platform provides customizable information fields for easier physician entry of payer required data, leverages payer communication preferences, and incorporates payer-specific messaging into patient shipping and handling and device return logistics. The system also manages rapid upload of patient sleep data for interpretation by a Board Certified physician, and then promptly publishes the OSA study results for secure online and fax delivery to the ordering physician. Upon positive diagnosis, the MediTrack technology integrates assignment of payer-preferred therapy providers.

Richard Hassett, MD, CEO, NovaSom, Inc., said, "This significant technology investment allows NovaSom to provide a custom physician order workflow system that incorporates payer-specific medical policy, utilization management and therapy coordination. This end-to-end integration greatly reduces the administrative burden for physicians, payers and patients. The alignment with payer-designated therapy partners assures continuity between diagnosis and initiation of treatment."

Home sleep testing with NovaSom is a less expensive, convenient and clinically proven alternative to in-facility sleep testing, and appropriate for up to 80% of the undiagnosed OSA patient population. NovaSom is fully accredited by the Joint Commission as an Ambulatory Care Sleep Diagnostic Center and CMS approved as an Independent Diagnostic Testing Facility.
