Urgent: Medicare Review – Act Now!

This is the first time we have sent something outside our regularly scheduled programming…

Dental Sleep Medicine is at a crossroads.

For the first time in 13 years, Medicare is reviewing the coverage and reimbursement for oral appliances. This decision could redefine who can provide oral appliance therapy, how much they’re paid, and whether telehealth will remain an option.

We need you to act now.

This is more than just a Medicare issue. Private insurers often follow Medicare’s lead. If you're committed to the future of Dental Sleep Medicine, your voice must be heard. Whether you're a Medicare DME provider or not, this affects you.

What can you do?

  1. Take 5 minutes to submit your comments through the Medicare link.

  2. Download the template letter below, attach it to your submission, and personalize it if you wish.

  3. Submit by September 9th, 2024 to ensure your voice counts.

Thank you for your dedication to your patients and your practice.

Sincerely,
The More Than Teeth Team
