Financial viability

What to expect in 2027.

Under the CY2027 proposed rule, the codes that have carried almost all home sleep testing in the U.S. are retired on January 1, and six replace them across three complexity tiers. For the first time, what a study pays depends on what it actually measures.

Operational efficiency

Nine touchpoints became two.

A sleep program's capacity is set by its devices and its staff, not by demand. One regional academic health system roughly tripled its volume without adding a clinician.

Clinical reliability

Device design decides reliability at home.

Published failure rates for unattended home studies range from about 9 percent to more than 30 percent, a wider spread than the gap between home and lab. The evidence points to how a device is built, not where the test happens.
