Aetna sued for systematically denying care to patients
10 October 2018 - Suit filed by Respiratory Sleep Solutions alleges Aetna is violating established coding standards and denying at-risk patients access to affordable neurodiagnostic testing.
Respiratory Sleep Solutions (RSS), has filed suit against Aetna seeking a declaratory judgment that restores patient access to needed in-home neurodiagnostic testing. The suit alleges that Aetna has systematically violated standard coding practices for RSS-provided in-home video electroencephalogram testing, effectively preventing patients from accessing in-home neurological testing for epilepsy and other disorders.
"Aetna is lining its pockets by denying patients neurodiagnostic testing that is affordable, accessible, convenient and effective," said Conor Butts, Chief Operating Officer of RSS.
