Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a prevalent and serious sleep disorder that involves the airway becoming repeatedly blocked during sleep, leading to paused breathing and oxygen deprivation. Commonly caused by the collapse of throat tissues, it can result in loud snoring, choking noises and frequent awakenings, potentially contributing to health problems such as high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, diabetes and depression.

Ognomy Sleep has sleep specialists available in all 50 US States. We accept most insurances and verify coverage as part of the appointment setting process. You will not be charged until insurance is verified and any copay, coinsurance, or deductible is communicated to you.  
 
If you don’t have insurance, or if your insurance will not cover the costs, we offer self-pay options and can discuss those with you after your appointment is set.
 
You can cancel your appointment up to 24 hours in advance with no charge.

For the in-home test:   
If paying by insurance, your sleep test may be fully covered, or you may be required to pay a portion of the cost (coinsurance or copay). Patient responsibility usually runs between $25 and $70 and will be dependent on your coverage. If you have coinsurance for sleep studies, you will generally pay less for a home sleep study compared to an in-lab study.
  
For the telemedicine visit:  
Depending on your insurance you may have a specialist visit copay. Ognomy Sleep does not charge any fees other than your copay or coinsurance.
  
If you have a high-deductible plan or no health insurance at present, Ognomy Sleep offers a self-pay option that includes an initial sleep specialist consultation, a home sleep test, and follow-up consultation for $299.
  
You will never be charged a fee without your consent.  
 
For prescriptions or additional therapies:
There may be charges for medications or additional devices or therapies ordered according to your treatment plan. Your payment responsibility will be determined by your insurer as it is for any medication or treatment you receive from traditional healthcare services.  

The Ognomy Sleep team will assist with prior authorization support to help gain approval from your insurer in any way we can.

The Ognomy at-home sleep study is FDA approved and is shipped directly to your home. The test will monitor your oxygen, breathing levels, movements, and pulse rate.

Ognomy provides easy-to-follow instructions enabling you to self-administer the test from the comfort and convenience of home.  

You will wear the device for one night, or more if determined by your sleep specialist, then send it back to Ognomy Sleep if required. The study will be reviewed by a sleep technician to be sure the sleep test was successful, and then interpreted by your doctor, who will decide the best course of action depending on your results.  

This home testing option reduces the amount of time you would spend at numerous in-person appointments with a doctor, at a sleep center, or collecting and returning the equipment.

After your initial telemedicine appointment, you should be able to complete your home sleep study, review results with your sleep specialist, and decide on the best treatment for you - all within a couple of weeks.

Ognomy Sleep has sleep specialists licensed in all 50 US States.

Our sleep specialists are doctors and experienced nurse practitioners (NPs) and physician assistants (PAs) focused on sleep wellness and healthcare associated with sleep. They are passionate about helping patients achieve better sleep, better health, and a better quality of life.

Our clinicians join Ognomy Sleep for many of the same reasons as our patients. They find the platform to be user friendly, and it allows them to care for more individuals vs. solely utilizing traditional sleep study and treatment methods.   

When booking your appointment, you’ll be presented with key details about sleep specialists available in your state, including their background and training.

Depending on your clinical presentation and severity of Obstructive Sleep Apnea, you and your provider will discuss various treatment options including CPAP therapy, oral appliance therapy, various surgical interventions including Inspire® hypoglossal nerve stimulation therapy, as well as Zepbound® (tirzepatide), the only FDA approved medication for sleep apnea.

Zepbound is an injectable prescription medication that targets GIP and GLP-1 hormones to regulate appetite and metabolism. By reducing hunger and food intake, it addresses an underlying cause of excess weight.

The medication may improve moderate-to-severe OSA and aid in long-term weight loss for adults with obesity, when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and physical activity.  
 
FDA approval for the treatment of OSA by Zepbound® (tirzepatide) was based on this study.

The most common side effects of Zepbound include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, stomach (abdominal) pain, indigestion, injection site reactions, feeling tired, allergic reactions, belching, hair loss, and heartburn. These are not all the possible side effects of Zepbound. Talk to your healthcare provider about any side effect that bothers you or doesn’t go away.
