Inspire For Sleep Apnea Treatment
Do you suffer from sleep apnea and hate your current CPAP machine? The good news is that there may be a better treatment option. In the past, most of the sleep apnea treatments that worked effectively involved a cumbersome mouth guard or irritating CPAP machine. At Trinity ENT, we provide Inspire as an alternative treatment option for patients with moderate to severe sleep apnea.
How does Inspire for sleep apnea work?
Inspire offers an effective, FDA-approved alternative for some patients who find CPAP or oral appliances difficult to use. The Inspire device is implanted during an outpatient procedure involving three small incisions. Once the procedure is over, you will work with your doctor to fine-tune the device and make sure it's working correctly.
The device works by sending gentle impulses while you're sleeping to keep your tongue from obstructing your airway.
Will Inspire work for me?
If you want to swap out your cumbersome CPAP or irritating mouth guard, there are a few steps to qualifying for Inspire:
- You need a moderate to severe sleep apnea diagnosis
- You must be examined to make sure you have the proper BMI for the treatment
- You must undergo an airway exam
After these steps, your provider can determine if Inspire is an appropriate treatment option for you.
How much does Inspire cost?
Inspire has a dedicated team to help you through the insurance process, and it’s covered by most insurance companies. Inspire is covered by:
- Most private insurances
- Medicare
- Veterans and Military
After these steps, your provider can determine if Inspire is an appropriate treatment option for you.
At Trinity ENT, we believe everyone deserves restful sleep. Inspire therapy is an effective option for eligible patients with sleep apnea.
