ProblemSleep clinics diagnose apnea, but many patients still stall between diagnosis and machine setup because staff chase payer rules, DME forms, missing notes, and 90-day compliance traps. AMA says 95% of physicians see care delays from prior auth.
SolutionStartPAP gives sleep clinics a narrow work queue for the handoff after diagnosis: check documentation, route to the right DME, flag payer-specific gaps, and rescue cases before they miss setup or Medicare compliance windows.
Market opportunityAASM says OSA affects 29.4 million Americans and costs $149.6B when untreated. Sleep care still runs through fax-heavy DME workflows, while adjacent software already supports $49-$799 per provider monthly pricing and device markets keep growing.
