People with Sleep Apnea Disproportionately Admitted to Hospital for COVID-19 - Sleep Review

• Buy now! California Exemptee Training Certification Course.
• California Exemptee Training - online training certification course for home medical device retailers (HMDR). This online training certification course: 1) offers a course completion certificate for your application, 2) satisfies Exemptee license application requirements, and 3) is also appropriate for those responsible for overseeing prescription devices (e.g., business owners, managers, etc.).

Read the full article:  People with Sleep Apnea Disproportionately Admitted to Hospital for COVID-19 - Sleep Review

According to the article:

"The comparison of the register information revealed that 29% of the patients admitted to hospital care had already been diagnosed with sleep apnea. The number is significant, as only 3.1% of the population of Southwest Finland is getting treatment for sleep apnea. Even though the total number of patients in the study was low, the share of sleep apnea patients was high. The extent of sleep apnea among the patients cannot only be explained by the obesity often met in sleep apnea patients, being one of the already known risk factors for severe COVID-19.

“The finding was strong enough to justify the question of sleep apnea as a risk factor for COVID-19. In principle, a patient may need hospital care when they have a COVID-19 infection if they also have sleep apnea. Sleep apnea anticipates a severe form of COVID-19,” Feuth says."

This should interest wholesalers specializing or involved in drug repackaging.

According to the article:

"Unlike drugmakers that make their meds in-house, a cottage industry of repackagers exists to resell premade drugs with shiny new labels. But what happens when one of those companies fails at its primary job: safely repackaging drugs? A California firm has just found out, courtesy of the FDA. 

Newport Beach, California-based Calvin Scott & Co., a wholesaler specializing in drug repackaging, failed to adequately address quality issues at its New Mexico plant that may have compromised the listed expiration date on one of its drugs, according to a warning letter posted online this week."

Using Medicare Accreditation To Make A Difference With Private Pay Insurance: HME-Business

•  California Exemptee Training Certification - for home medical device retailers.  If you are applying for a California Exemptee license, you'll need to include proof of required training in your application. Take this online course to earn a course completion certificate for your license application.

In a nutshell:

Providers need accreditation to bill Medicare, but it's critical in HME businesses' overall market strategy for working with private payers, as well. What do providers need to keep in mind?

According to the article:

• "After years of largely accepting the accreditation requirement, private payers have begun to scrutinize what product categories providers are accredited for when making decisions about valuable contracts.
• As the HME industry weathers the storm of the COVID-19 pandemic, demonstrating compliance and emergency preparedness policies to private payers will become more crucial in standing out in the marketplace.
• Accrediting organizations have created programs specifically targeted at proving expertise in product categories such as oxygen, home infusion, pharmacy and more."

According to the article:

The Department is also committed to preventing hoarding and price gouging for critical supplies during this crisis.  To combat this misconduct, the President issued an Executive Order pursuant to section 102 of the Defense Production Act, which prohibits hoarding of designated items, and Attorney General Barr has now created the COVID-19 Hoarding and Price Gouging Task Force.  In a memo to U.S. Attorneys, Attorney General Barr said, “we will aggressively pursue bad actors who amass critical supplies either far beyond what they could use or for the purpose of profiteering. Scarce medical supplies need to be going to hospitals for immediate use in care, not to warehouses for later overcharging.”
