Philips Recall Pushed into 2023

Philips Respironics now expects to complete 90% of its replacements by the end of 2022, which will push the recall completion to 2023. The FDA recommended that they prioritize replacement based on patient vulnerability and that they also provide replacement status. Philips' website has now been updated to reflect both of these recommendations. This is where patients can check the status of their replacement: click here. As a dentist-owned practice, we cannot and do not diagnose or direct care. When patients have called our office to ask what they should do with a recalled unit, we reiterate that their first step needs to be that they register their unit so they can get in queue for a replacement once available. Once they do that, our second recommendation is that they talk with their primary care provider for direction on care. Here are the options we have provided to them to consider for that discussion: Continue to use the CPAP as-is. Consider getting an Rx for a travel CPAP, which can be purchased online. Consider an oral appliance. From what we have seen and heard, insurance companies are not covering a switch in treatment due to the recall, so we are offering an oral appliance that isn't quite as durable as a typical oral appliance we'd provide, but it is still custom-fit, FDA approved, comes with a 2 year warranty, and is tested for efficacy.   Please let us know how we can help your patients continue to receive treatment for their sleep apnea during this recall/shortage.

We Make It Easy To Partner Both diagnosed and non-diagnosed patients may be referred.  We are Omaha's first and only one-stop shop for sleep. We know how complicated treating sleep disorders can be for both providers and patients and it is our goal to streamline the entire process for everyone involved. With that in mind, we are able to offer or guide: 1) Home Sleep Testing 2) CPAPs, and 3) Oral Appliances. Along with our dedicated dental sleep team, we work with Sleep Physicians for direction on patient care. We want you to know that if you have a patient that you suspect has sleep apnea or has struggled with prescribed treatment, we will take great care of them.   Patients can be referred directly through our website, or you can fax a referral to us at 1-877-811-8129. If you'd like any paper screening tools, business cards from our office, or would like to coordinate a time to speak with one of our providers, please connect with Brea at brea@whywesnore.com or 402-996-0387.

** Know that we are in-network with medical insurance, including Medicare and Tricare. Those with Medicare supplement plans typically have low or no out-of-pocket costs. All patients know what their out of pockets costs will be before moving forward with treatment.
