Inspire is an alternative to CPAP that works inside your body while you sleep. It’s a small device placed during a same-day, outpatient procedure. When you’re ready for bed, simply click the remote to turn Inspire on. While you sleep, Inspire opens your airway, allowing you to breathe normally and sleep peacefully.
Inspire sends mild stimulation to the motor nerve that controls your tongue, moving it out of the way. The stimulation is very gentle and designed to move the tongue forward without disturbing your sleep. It should not be painful or uncomfortable.
Assessment and Eligibility: An Inspire trained doctor will evaluate your overall health and sleep apnea history to decide if Inspire is right for you
Insurance Approval: Inspire is covered by most major insurance providers, including Medicare. Depending on your provider, insurance approval can take a few days or a few weeks
Sleeping With Inspire: Shortly after the procedure, head back to your doctor to turn Inspire on. After some fine-tuning, you’ll be ready to get the sleep you’ve been dreaming about
Inspire is placed under the skin, in a same-day, outpatient procedure that takes about two hours. Most patients take over-the-counter pain medication and resume non-strenuous activities within a few days, you can resume more strenuous activities within a couple of weeks
