> Sleep Therapy Effectiveness Program (STEP)

The Sleep Therapy Effectiveness Program (STEP) is made available to patients who have been diagnosed with Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB), and are at risk for developing significant comorbid health conditions if not properly treated. STEP can be useful in assuring that patients are receiving adequate breathing therapy during sleep. 

STEP uses technology to check in on your health between in-person doctor visits. Read more about STEP.

Consent Agreement for Enrollment in the Sleep Therapy Effectiveness Program (STEP)
for Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB)

By signing this, I consent to have Maimonides Sleep Arts & Sciences, Ltd., d.b.a. The Sleep Spot - Maimonides (TSSM; referred to as “Provider”) provide remote patient monitoring services (referred to as “Sleep Therapy Effectiveness Program” or “STEP”) as fully described herein.

STEP includes a monthly review of therapy efficacy available through a remote
monitoring system (usually ResMed’s AirView, Philips’ Care Orchestrator, or
other system depending on manufacturer of your PAP device).

Beneficiary Acknowledgement and Authorization:

By signing this Agreement, you agree to the following:

and/or other treating providers as part of coordination of your care.

during a calendar month.

you using technology that is capable of synchronous audio communications (i.e.
telephone). You acknowledge that failure to pick up the phone when TSSM calls
with your results OR calling us back to acknowledge receipt of your monthly
