Include sleep study results and a prescription for an oral appliance. We verify insurance and contact the patient within 24-48 hours.

Why Refer to Solve Sleep Apnea?

When your patients cannot tolerate CPAP — or prefer an alternative for mild-to-moderate OSA — oral appliance therapy is the evidence-based solution recommended by the AASM. We make the referral process simple and keep you in the loop.

Credentialed Sleep Specialists

Our providers hold recognized credentials in dental sleep medicine, including Diplomate of the International Academy of Sleep (D-IAOS), AADSM Qualified Dentist designations, and board-certified ENT/Sleep Medicine specialists.

Objective Outcome Verification

Every patient receives a follow-up home sleep test to verify treatment efficacy. We share the results with you.

Complete Documentation

You receive a consultation report, treatment plan, and outcome data for your patient's medical record.

Our Coordinated Care Model

We treat oral appliance therapy as a collaborative process between the referring physician and the dental sleep medicine specialist. Your patient remains your patient — we provide the dental sleep medicine expertise and handle the appliance fabrication, titration, and follow-up.

You retain primary management of the patient's sleep apnea care
We send you a detailed consultation report after the initial evaluation
Treatment progress updates are provided at key milestones
A follow-up sleep study (HST) verifies appliance efficacy — results shared with you
We coordinate with you on any adjustments to the treatment plan
Annual follow-up documentation is sent for your records

The Referral Process

Referring a patient takes less than 2 minutes. We handle insurance verification, pre-authorization, and all administrative paperwork.

1

Send the Referral

Fax or submit an online referral with the patient's sleep study results, diagnosis, and a prescription for an oral appliance. If the patient does not yet have a sleep study, we can arrange a home sleep test.

2

We Verify Insurance & Schedule

Within 24-48 hours, we verify the patient's insurance benefits, obtain pre-authorization if required, and contact the patient to schedule their consultation. We inform both you and the patient of coverage details.

3

Treatment & Follow-Up

We evaluate the patient, fabricate their custom oral appliance, and titrate it over 4-8 weeks. A follow-up home sleep test confirms efficacy. You receive a complete outcome report including pre- and post-treatment AHI data.

Clinical Criteria for Referral

Per the 2015 AASM Clinical Practice Guideline, oral appliance therapy is indicated for the following patients:

Adults with mild-to-moderate OSA (AHI 5-29) who prefer OAT over CPAP
Adults with mild-to-moderate OSA as a first-line alternative to CPAP
Adults with severe OSA (AHI ≥30) who have failed CPAP or are intolerant of CPAP
Adults with primary snoring who do not respond to conservative measures
Patients with positional OSA who need combination therapy

Insurance note: Most medical insurance plans — including Medicare, TRICARE, and major PPO carriers — cover oral appliance therapy as durable medical equipment (DME). CPAP failure or intolerance documentation strengthens the approval for patients with severe OSA.
