LONDON – Signifier Medical Technologies has announced that its eXciteOSA non-invasive therapy for obstructive sleep apnea is now covered under Georgia Medicaid policy 1320, expanding access to more than 1.5 million people who live in the state. “This decision underscores the critical importance of providing accessible, effective solutions for Georgians living with obstructive sleep apnea,” said Akhil Tripathi, director and founder of Signifier. “By including eXciteOSA in Medicaid coverage, Georgia is not only prioritizing patient outcomes but addressing a broader economic challenge by reducing the long-term costs associated with untreated or unmanaged sleep apnea.” eXciteOSA is a daytime therapy that strengthens airway muscles in just 20 minutes per day, with adherence rates of more than 80%, Signifier says. For Medicaid recipients, this offers a practical and effective path to better health, while reducing the systemic costs associated with untreated OSA, the company says. “As someone who has prescribed eXciteOSA, I’ve witnessed its effects firsthand,” said Dr. Hitendra Patel, a Georgia-based sleep specialist. “Many of my patients, including those who couldn’t tolerate CPAP machines, report significant improvements in sleep quality, energy levels, and overall well-being. With Medicaid coverage, even more individuals can now benefit from this life-changing therapy.”
