Watermark Medical Announces Agreement to Provide Home Sleep Testing Service to Coventry Health Care Members

Watermark Medical, Inc. ("Watermark"), the leader in Health Information Technology for managing chronic diseases, has signed a contract with Coventry Health Care ("Coventry") to provide home sleep testing service for the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Coventry Health Care is a registered trade name of Southern Health Services, Inc., a Virginia HMO. Under the agreement Watermark will provide home sleep testing service for the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The agreement expands Coventry's ability to deliver diagnostic testing to its members in a home-based environment while potentially reducing long-term costs (see also Obstructive Sleep Apnea).

Under the new multiyear agreement, Watermark will work directly with Coventry's physician network to diagnose members in the comfort and convenience of their own home at a fraction of the cost of a traditional in-lab sleep study. Watermark will deliver these services through its Mail-to-Patient division, which supports physicians who do not currently provide home sleep diagnostics for their patients. Physicians in Coventry's network can refer patients with symptoms of OSA to Watermark, and the company will ship their diagnostic test directly to the patient.

"Watermark's partnership with Coventry will provide a better, more convenient experience for their members at a lower cost than a traditional sleep lab," said Charlie Alvarez, President of Watermark Medical. He added, "Our Watermark SleepCare Platform ensures a simplified delivery platform for physicians that maintains the clinical integrity of a sleep lab and provides the board-certified results that are compliant with AASM regulations. We are thrilled Coventry can now offer this to their customers." About Watermark Medical: Watermark Medical, Inc.
