Sleep fitness - A Fit solution

Treating sleep apnoea implies direct costs of equipment and healthcare personnel. On the other hand, there are other and possibly far greater cost implications in not treating the condition or not complying to treatment.

Low compliance can generate short-term costs to the payer in terms of equipment used only temporarily and then disposed of or wasted. In the long run, untreated sleep apnoea brings the risk of major complications and serious co-morbidities.

Getting patients to start, adapt to and continue therapy can depend on a number of issues such as education, proper equipment, training and follow up as well as support network availability. LISA™ is designed with these challenges in mind. We provide a broad selection of treatment devices, masks and accessories from major brands including but not limited to ResMed, Philips / Respironics, DeVilbiss, Fisher & Paykel, Covidien and GE / Breas as well as a full range of patient interactive services through home care or care centers.

For the payer, LISA™’s active involvement through home care or care centers helps to enable better compliance to treatment as well as monitoring of progress that can provide better transparency in identifying issues in therapy and consequent corrective action.

Linde Healthcare recognises the important role of accurate treatment and coverage. We provide locally approved sleep apnoea therapy programmes. This includes compliance with applicable regulations, regulatory audits and internal billing.
