  • Veterans

    The most recent podcast on sleep disorders in military veterans was probably the most informative and helpful episode I’ve listened to (and I have listened to all of them).

  • Valuable for PAs in sleep

    I have enjoyed this podcast from the beginning. It provides timely updates related to sleep health and as a clinician in sleep for over a decade, I find it an important part of where I get updated work related info. I have recommended it to all the PAs and NPs who work with me in sleep.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Using Your Voice to Improve Reimbursement
Q: What is the Patients First Act?
It is a House bill that would tie physician fee schedule reimbursement more closely to inflation, replace MIPS with a patient outcome program, and more than double the Medicare budget neutrality threshold.
Using Your Voice to Improve Reimbursement
Q: Can you give us a high-level overview of CPT and RUC? What is all of this and how does it work?
CPT establishes how a medical service is described and reported. The RUC evaluates physician work, time, practice expenses, and liability costs, then sends recommendations to CMS, which determines the final Medicare payment policy.
Pediatric Sleep Medicine: Expanding your Practice
Q: Are there any FDA-approved hypnotics for children?
No, there are no FDA-approved hypnotics for use in children; most agents used are off-label and require pediatric sleep specialist oversight.
Pediatric Sleep Medicine: Expanding your Practice
Q: What is the current stance on melatonin dosing for kids?
Start with a small dose (0.5 mg) about an hour before bedtime, and avoid increasing the dose if sleep does not improve after trying 5 mg, since higher doses may not provide additional benefit and can raise safety concerns.
Pediatric Sleep Medicine: Expanding your Practice
Q: What is the first-line therapy for pediatric sleep apnea if surgery isn't immediately indicated?
PAP therapy is the first-line treatment after considering surgical options, with close follow-up to ensure adherence and to address insurance coverage and family dynamics.
