Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a Serious and Chronic Disease OSA is Caused by a Blocked or Partially Blocked Airway  Blockage prevents airflow to the lungs  Results in repeated arousals and oxygen de-saturations  Severity of sleep apnea is measured by frequency of apnea or hypopnea events per hour, which is referred to as the Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI)  Normal range:  Moderate sleep apnea: AHI < 5 events per hour 15 ≤ AHI < 30 events per hour Airway obstruction  Mild sleep apnea:  Severe sleep apnea: during breathing 5 ≤ AHI < 15 events per hour AHI ≥ 30 events per hour Inspire’s Focus Most Patients Are Unaware of Their Condition… …and Untreated OSA Multiplies Serious Health Risks  High risk patients: obese, male or of advanced age 2x Increased Risk of Mortality (5)  Common first indicator: heavy snoring The risk for stroke (1)  Other indicators: 2x (2)  Lack of energy  Memory or concentration The risk for sudden cardiac death  Headaches problems 5x (3) % Surviving  Depression  Excessive daytime The risk for cardiovascular mortality sleepiness  Nighttime gasping 57% Increased risk for recurrence of  Dry mouth Atrial Fibrillation after ablation (4) Years of Follow-up ____________________ 5 Source: Company Website (4) Li et al, Europace 2014.

From this data, patients that matched UPPP (N=16) HNS (N=15) STAR trial inclusion criteria were selected (N=20) Pre Operative ESS Post Operative ESS “The present study compares outcomes of the most well established upper airway surgery with outcomes of upper airway stimulation therapy in patients with OSA. Compared to uvulopalatopharyngoplasty, hypoglossal nerve stimulation therapy provides significant objective improvement in outcome measures for select patients with moderate to severe OSA with inability to tolerate CPAP. Although Conclusion traditional upper airway surgery is effective in treating patients with OSA, our study suggests hypoglossal nerve stimulation is curative for many patients as it normalizes the AHI to < 5 and is an excellent option for second line therapy in select patients with OSA who are intolerant to CPAP.” 17 ____________________ Note: Hypoglossal nerve stimulation abbreviated at HNS.

Evidence Street Complete Positive Technical Assessment  Report summarized that the evidence is sufficient to determine that the Inspire therapy results in a meaningful improvement in the net health outcome for patients meeting the following selection criteria o Age ≥ 22 years in adults or adolescents with Down’s syndrome age 10 to 21; AND o Diagnosed moderate to severe OSA (with less than 25% central apneas); AND o CPAP failure or inability to tolerate CPAP; AND o Body mass index ≤ 35 kg/m2 in adults; AND o Favorable pattern of palatal collapse  NOTE: Adolescents with Down’s syndrome is not FDA approved and is currently in clinical trials  What does this mean??? o BCBS Evidence Street conducts many reviews annually (technical assessments) o Does not specifically write coverage policies for each of the 36 BCBS companies o However, it provides BCBS companies with evidence opinions they often use as an input into those coverage policy decisions.  Since receiving the positive assessment, eight BCBS plans have issued positive coverage policies of Inspire therapy. We expect many more of the regional BCBS payors will write policies in the next few quarters 25
