Conference Tackles Current Issues in Health Policy and Advocacy

Join CHEST for a two-session Health Policy and Advocacy Conference chaired by Neil S. Freedman, MD, FCCP and Kathleen F. Sarmiento, MD. The free conference will provide an outstanding overview of current issues related to pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine.

Presentation topics include:

  • an overview of health care disparities in the management of sleep disorders and approaches to improve outcomes for at-risk groups.

Updates to relevant topics that affect our patients and practices will be covered, including:

  • coding and reimbursement;
  • changes in oxygen access, delivery, technology, and patient education;
  • multisociety efforts to improve access to home mechanical ventilation, noninvasive ventilation, and other PAP therapies for OSA and complex patients; and
