A Dentist's Nightmare

You see a new patient who is experiencing bruxism and you know they will need a sleep test and probably oral appliance therapy. You try to book a sleep test for them, at the only sleep clinic for miles. You finally get an appointment for them in 5 month’s time.

The test is finally complete. The sleep doctor reviews the results with the patient. But, they send the patient directly to CPAP and don’t communicate with you. You don’t know if you will ever hear from the patient again.

One day the patient returns to you suddenly for oral appliance therapy with no documentation from the sleep doctor (no letter of medical necessity, no sleep study results, no prescription). You don’t have the data you need for billing purposes or to care for the patient efficiently

You call the sleep clinic in vain, they can’t find the patient’s information, no one has communicated anything to you at this point.

You experience stress, headaches and even more delays, and you realize you’re living a real life nightmare.

A Dentist's Dream!

You easily, electronically refer your patient to Ognomy. They schedule a video consult with a board-certified sleep doctor in less than 2 weeks. The home sleep test is mailed out immediately to the patient’s home

As the data is sent straight to the Ognomy platform, the sleep doctor interprets the results immediately, and the results are sent to your office. The same doctor has a follow-up call with the patient to review the results and discuss their dental treatment options.

The doctor then uploads any patient documentation required for billing (e.g. MRD/OAT prescription, HST results, letter of medical necessity) which is available to you on the Ognomy platform or can be sent directly to your office.

After on-going communication and information exchange with you, the patient returns to your office to begin OAT/ MAD.

Ognomy continues to follow-up with you as required for your patients’ on-going sleep care. You are happy, carefree, and you finally feel like you’re living the dream!
