BiPAP Therapy
Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure provides separate inspiratory and expiratory pressure levels for patients who need more complex pressure support.
Advanced respiratory support
Non-invasive ventilation built around more complex breathing needs.
VeroHealth supports BiPAP, AVAPS, and ASV therapy for patients who need more advanced respiratory assistance than traditional CPAP can provide.
More than pressure support alone.
NIV therapy may use dual pressure, target-volume support, or adaptive breathing algorithms depending on the prescribed therapy.
Advanced support

Respiratory support without an invasive airway.
NIV is used when patients need more ventilatory assistance while continuing therapy through a mask-based interface.
Understanding NIV
Advanced breathing support, matched to the prescribed therapy.
Non-invasive ventilation provides respiratory support without invasive procedures such as a tracheostomy. It can be appropriate for patients who require more assistance than traditional CPAP therapy offers.
VeroHealth supports BiPAP, AVAPS, and ASV therapy, each designed around different respiratory patterns and clinical needs.
Chronic Respiratory Failure
Long-term breathing difficulties requiring ongoing mechanical support.
Neuromuscular Disorders
Conditions such as ALS and muscular dystrophy that can affect breathing muscles.
Spinal Cord Injuries
High-level spinal injuries that can affect respiratory function.
Central Sleep Apnea
Severe cases that may require more advanced ventilatory support.
NIV technology
Three therapy approaches for different patterns of respiratory support.
The prescribed device and mode depend on the patient’s condition, breathing pattern, ventilation needs, and clinician-directed settings.
AVAPS Therapy
Average Volume Assured Pressure Support adjusts pressure to help maintain a target tidal volume as the patient’s ventilation needs change.
ASV Therapy
Adaptive Servo-Ventilation monitors breathing patterns and varies support in response to irregular breathing, including certain central sleep apnea patterns.
How support changes
NIV can respond to more than one breathing variable.
The therapy mode determines what the device is designed to support—from separate inspiratory and expiratory pressures to target-volume assistance or adaptive stabilization of irregular breathing patterns.
Pressure Support
BiPAP uses separate pressure levels for inhalation and exhalation to provide more breathing assistance than a single fixed pressure.
Volume Targeting
AVAPS can vary pressure support over time in an effort to maintain a prescribed target tidal volume.
Adaptive Stabilization
ASV monitors the breathing pattern and adjusts support dynamically when breathing becomes irregular.
Patient support
Technology matters. So does everything around it.
VeroHealth pairs NIV equipment with the setup, education, monitoring, mask support, and supply coordination needed to keep therapy practical at home.

Certified respiratory therapists evaluate the prescribed therapy needs and help align equipment support with the clinical plan.
In-Home Setup & Training
Professional setup and hands-on education on equipment use, routine care, and day-to-day therapy basics.
Therapy Monitoring
Ongoing data review and therapy support coordinated with the patient’s physician as appropriate.
Clinical Support
Access to respiratory support for therapy-related questions, equipment troubleshooting, and guidance.
Mask Fitting & Comfort
Personalized fitting and comfort adjustments to help maintain effective mask-based ventilation therapy.
Supply Management
Support for essential replacement items such as masks, tubing, filters, and other therapy supplies.
Starting therapy
A coordinated path from evaluation to ongoing support.
NIV therapy typically involves more clinical coordination than standard PAP therapy, so the process is built around evaluation, prescription, authorization, setup, and follow-up.
Clinician-directed therapy mode and settings
Insurance verification and authorization support
Equipment setup, education, and follow-up
Medical Evaluation
Your physician evaluates your respiratory condition, which may include sleep studies or pulmonary function testing, to determine whether NIV is appropriate.
Therapy Prescription
Your clinician prescribes the NIV therapy mode—such as BiPAP, AVAPS, or ASV—and the settings appropriate for your needs.
Insurance Authorization
VeroHealth works with the insurance provider to verify benefits and help coordinate required authorization for equipment and supplies.
Equipment Setup & Training
A respiratory therapist sets up the NIV equipment and provides practical education on use, mask fit, and routine maintenance.
Ongoing Support
Follow-up may include therapy monitoring, equipment maintenance, resupply coordination, and continued respiratory support.
Common questions
Frequently asked questions about NIV therapy.
These answers provide general guidance. Your physician’s prescription and clinical recommendations should guide your specific therapy.
NIV provides more advanced support with variable pressure levels and therapy modes that can adapt to breathing needs, while CPAP provides a single continuous pressure. NIV is generally used for more complex respiratory conditions.
The duration of therapy depends on the underlying condition. Some patients use NIV temporarily during recovery, while others with chronic conditions may need longer-term support. Your physician determines the appropriate duration.
Many insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid, may cover medically necessary NIV therapy. VeroHealth can verify benefits and help coordinate authorization requirements.
Many NIV devices are designed to be transportable. VeroHealth can provide guidance on travel considerations and equipment planning for longer trips.
Follow-up schedules vary according to the condition and response to therapy. Monitoring may be more frequent early in treatment and can change as therapy stabilizes.
Issues such as mask discomfort or dry mouth may sometimes improve with fitting, comfort, humidification, or equipment adjustments. Contact the care team if therapy is uncomfortable or you have concerns.
