ResMed Remote CPAP Setups

Intake

1. you use a billing management system, such as Brightree™, create a profile for the patient using the information from the referral source, following your standard process.

2. Call the patient to confirm patient qualification:

   • Phone required, recommend a video-enabled device.
   • Internet access for online support materials.
   • Patient willingness.
   • Any other internal requirements.

3. If the patient is qualified, confirm the shipping address and email.

   • Update patient record, including contact information, as needed.
   • If the patient does not qualify for home delivery and remote setup, follow standard processes.

4. A mask assessment will need to be completed if the mask is not prescribed.

   • If not prescribed, there are two options you can use to determine the right mask:
     Option 1
     The ResMed MaskSelector tool will automate your mask selection and sizing process.

   • Send the patient a unique link to have them complete this process.

   • See the ResMed MaskSelector module for more information.

   • Option 2
     Transfer to a clinician after the intake call OR schedule a follow-up call with a clinician to determine the mask.

   • You may have the scheduler collect initial mask information and transfer to a clinician for further assessment.

   • Guidance for remote selection/fitting is in the MaskSelector tool and resources module.

   • Documentation:

5. Patients need to sign all of your standard consents, as well as provide approval for outreach via additional modalities such as video, email and/or text message, if applicable. Many patients are being extra vigilant about scams. It’s best practice to send emails while you’re on the phone with the patient, so they can open them, as well as to confirm the sender, what information will be requested and what actions will be recommended.

   •   * Obtain credit card authorization for co-pays.

   • When you receive these documents, file them in your patient records per your standard practice.

6. Once the proper mask is determined and consent is received, let your team know the mask and device requirements.

Steps 1-5 MUST be completed before moving to step 6.

TIPS:

1. You can easily obtain patient consent remotely. There are companies that allow you to e-sign documents, forms and agreements online through a secure platform. They allow you to add your existing forms and utilize their tools to create entry fields for inputting information such as name, signature, etc. You’ll need the patient’s name and email address to send documents or request an e-signature.
   Note : Some companies may offer free trials. Please remember to always enable security features when using these technologies.
