RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Teleflex Medical announced today that, effective July 1, 2007, CMS has issued a new fee schedule and HCPC reimbursement codes for the Hybrid CPAP Mask. The Hybrid is a revolutionary interface for use with sleep therapy systems in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. Consisting of an oral cushion that covers the mouth and two nasal pillows that fit into the nostrils, the Hybrid design simultaneously addresses two common concerns with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy: patient comfort and oral leaks. By eliminating the pressure points across the bridge of the nose and on the forehead, the Hybrid delivers a more comfortable sleep experience, culminating in better therapy and a more compliant patient.
