Solutions That Enhance Your Primary Care Approach

Managing multiple chronic conditions is challenging — especially when undiagnosed sleep apnea silently drives hypertension, diabetes, weight gain, and exhaustion. Addressing sleep apnea is crucial for effective management of chronic disease, reducing fatigue, and enhancing patient compliance.

At Ognomy Sleep, we provide comprehensive treatment including PAP therapy, Zepbound for OSA, and other therapies, while coordinating care with you.

Untreated Sleep Apnea’s Ripple Effect on Primary Care Outcomes

  • Medication-resistant hypertension: affects about 65%* of treatment-resistant hypertension patients.
  • Weight gain: drives risk for poor metabolic health. 
  • Atrial fibrillation: increases AFib risk by 82%**
  • Stroke risk: doubles the risk of suffering a stroke
  • Hormonal dysfunction: disrupts leptin and ghrelin balance and increases cortisol levels, contributing to obesity.
  • Mental health: increases the risk of anxiety, depression, and cognitive impairment.

How Ognomy Sleep Supports Your Primary Care Practice

Traditionally, delivering professional sleep apnea care is difficult, time-consuming, and logistically constrained.

Ognomy Sleep reinvented the process, making it simple to deliver life-changing professional care, faster, leveraging modern technology at every turn.

And now, Ognomy Sleep is available in all 50 states and is in-network with over 200M patients across the country, helping to ensure your patients receive affordable care.
How Ognomy Sleep works for patients you refer
1
Select & Meet Sleep Medicine Specialist

Your patient will be guided to select their specialist and book a consultation with a few clicks.

A sleep medicine specialist will see your patient in a virtual consultation where both sleep and weight concerns will be reviewed. If appropriate, a sleep study device will be prescribed and shipped to your patient’s home, initiated all during the same virtual session.

2
Take The At-Home Test

Upon arrival, your patient will follow the simple step-by-step instructions to wear the device on their finger or wrist overnight.

Digital sleep results are paired with the sleep specialist's recommendation and sent to you for consideration and approval of the recommended treatment if you agree.

3
Discuss The Results, Get Treatment

A follow-up telehealth appointment will be scheduled with your patient. They’ll spend time understanding their results and, if appropriate, the therapy options you recommend. Prescriptions and orders will be placed immediately and shipped to your patient.

4
Feel Better, Stay Better

We’ll prompt and recommend scheduled check-ins with your patient to track progress, monitor compliance, and help your patient pivot to new approaches when needed.

Ognomy Sleep is your virtual sleep apnea network that helps you deliver high-quality sleep care to more patients. And it doesn’t cost you a dime.

Virtual Care Can Be Complete Care

Working with best-in-class partners, Ognomy Sleep combines simplicity, affordability, and complete care for your patients.

PAP (CPAP) Therapy

We proudly partner with Resmed and other PAP device makers to ensure our patients and yours have access to the most modern machines that offer the highest levels of personalization available today.

Dual Obesity and Sleep Treatment 
with Zepbound

In addition to PAP and other therapies, Ognomy sleep medicine specialists may also prescribe Zepbound for patients who qualify. While we do not provide comprehensive obesity care, the addition of Zepbound can augment our holistic OSA treatment plans, complementing the continued care that they continue to receive from your practice.

Oral Appliance Therapy

Some patients have tremendous success with oral appliances, and they appreciate the simplicity. We determine with the patient if this option might work best and help them find an AADSM-credentialed dentist with whom we will collaborate on treatment.

Inspire® Implant Therapy

For your patients who have tried and struggled with CPAP, we are pleased to offer them the mask-free solution from Inspire®. We help the patient connect with a local ENT if they don’t already have one.
