Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) devices are a key treatment for obstructive sleep apnea, and Medicare outlines specific requirements that must be met before coverage is approved. Strong documentation is essential for achieving favorable outcomes and helping suppliers avoid common errors. Required records include standard written order (SWO), sleep study results, practitioner notes, adherence downloads, refill requirements, and proof of delivery for equipment and supplies. These foundational elements ensure that beneficiaries receive appropriate therapy while suppliers remain compliant with Medicare policy.

Because PAP therapy is one of the most frequently audited DME categories, resources play an important role in helping suppliers stay compliant. Noridian webinars, FAQs, and policy updates offer practical support for navigating coverage criteria, documentation expectations, and billing requirements. By using these tools, suppliers can reduce denials, improve claim accuracy, and ensure beneficiaries receive the therapy they need.
