CONTENTS

 

In October 2019 both Blue Shield of CA (BSC), a health plan which covers approximately 3.7M lives and Blue Cross Blue Shield Federal, a health plan which covers approximately 5.1 million lives, updated their policies to include WatchPATTM based on the PAT technology with oximetry and actigraphy, as a covered home sleep apnea diagnostic test.

 

This inclusion of WatchPATTM and PAT technology follows an assessment of Diagnosis and Medical Management of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome recently released by Blue Cross Blue Shield Association (BCBS) Evidence Street. While the foregoing assessment and inclusions in policy may impact the further adoption of WatchPATTM and PAT technology by physicians and other care providers or additional health Plans, there is no assurance of such further adoption.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Form 6-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other applicable securities laws. Statements preceded by, followed by, or that otherwise include the words "believes", "expects", "anticipates", "intends", "estimates", "plans", and similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as "will", "should", "would", "may" and "could" are generally forward-looking in nature and not historical facts. For example, when we discuss the potential further adoption of WatchPATTM and PAT technology we are using forward-looking statements. Because such statements deal with future events, they are subject to various risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including events and circumstances out of the Company's control and actual results, expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, could differ materially from the Company's current expectations. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, risks, uncertainties and assumptions discussed from time to time by the Company in reports filed with, or furnished to, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the Israel Securities Authority (“ISA”), including the Company’s latest Form 20-F which is on file with the SEC and the ISA. Except as otherwise required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
