The Problem

Too Many OSA Patients Fall Through the Cracks

Millions of patients are diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea yet never complete effective treatment. CPAP intolerance, limited dental referral options, insurance confusion, and poor follow-up leave physicians without a reliable pathway.

CPAP Intolerance

Up to 50% of patients abandon CPAP within 12 months with no clear next step.

No Reliable Dental Referral

Physicians lack a trusted, standardized OAT referral pathway they can rely on.

High Cash-Pay Barriers

Many dental practices don't accept medical insurance, leaving patients with unaffordable fees.

Limited Insurance Support

Complex prior authorization and billing requirements go unnavigated by most practices.

Poor Physician Communication

Physicians rarely receive updates after referring patients for OAT.

Inconsistent Follow-Up

No standardized titration or outcome verification protocol exists in most markets.

Patients Lost After Referral

Without coordination, patients simply disappear after the referral note.

No National Workflow

There is no standardized, scalable OAT pathway available across markets.

In-Person Care

We Come to Your Patient, Or Your Patient Comes to Us.

Dentulu Sleep is not a remote-only or mail-order service. Every patient in our network receives hands-on, face-to-face dental care from a licensed sleep dentist at every stage of treatment.

In-Office Evaluation

Network dentist conducts a full oral and airway assessment in person evaluating jaw range of motion, bite analysis, TMJ health, and structural alignment.

Digital Scan at the Dental Chair

Precision intraoral digital scan taken chairside. No mail-in impression kits. Better fit, faster fabrication, better outcomes.

In-Person Fitting & Titration

Appliance is fitted in person. Titration, the gradual adjustment of jaw position is managed by the dentist across follow-up visits.

Ongoing Relationship, Not a Transaction

Patients have a named dentist throughout their care journey, not a rotating call center or anonymous prescription system.

Patient Visit Journey

Initial Consultation Visit

30–45 min. Oral exam, airway assessment, medical history review, and patient education on OAT.

Digital Scan Appointment

15–20 min. Intraoral scan taken chairside. Appliance selection confirmed and order placed.

Appliance Delivery & Fitting

30 min. Custom appliance delivered and fitted. Patient trained on insertion, removal, and cleaning.

Titration Follow-Up Visits

2–3 visits. Dentist adjusts mandibular position to optimize therapeutic effect and comfort.

Outcome Verification

Follow-up sleep study scheduled to verify AHI improvement. Results reported to physician.

Multiple Appliance Options

Not One-Size-Fits-All. The Right Appliance for Each Patient.

Every patient's anatomy, diagnosis severity, bite, jaw range, and clinical needs are different. Dentulu Sleep supports multiple FDA-cleared oral appliance options, dentist-selected for each individual patient.

Dentulu's clinical approach: Appliance selection is always determined by the treating dentist based on individual patient evaluation, never a one-size protocol. The right device for the right patient, every time.

Medical Billing & Patient Access

Built for Medical Billing, Reimbursement, and Patient Access

OAT through medical insurance is possible but navigating benefits, prior authorizations, and claims is complex. Dentulu handles it. And for patients with gaps in coverage, we offer financing and payment plan options.

Benefit Verification

We verify every patient's medical insurance eligibility for OAT before treatment begins to confirm coverage, payer requirements, and patient cost share.

Prior Authorization Management

Dentulu's billing team handles prior authorization submissions, appeals, and payer documentation requirements across all major medical insurance plans.

Medical Payer Support

We work with Medicare, Medicare Advantage, Aetna, Cigna, BCBS, United Healthcare, Humana, and other major commercial payers where applicable.

Patient Payment Plans

For patients with high deductibles, coverage gaps, or cash-pay situations, Dentulu offers flexible financing and payment plan options so cost is never the to a barrier to treatment.

Claims Submission & Follow-Up

Complete claims submission, remittance tracking, and denial management are handled by Dentulu's specialized OAT billing team, so dentists don't carry that burden.

RPM/CCM-Ready Infrastructure

Dentulu's platform is being built toward RPM and CCM integration, enabling future remote patient monitoring and chronic care management billing pathways for eligible patients.

Dentulu Sleep supports medical billing workflows where applicable. Coverage depends on patient benefits, payer requirements, documentation, and clinical eligibility. Dentulu does not guarantee coverage, reimbursement, or payment.
