Dental Sleep Medicine EHR Software for Oral Appliance Therapy
One patient record for every sleep apnea case: intake, medical eligibility, the sleep study, prior authorization, the scan, the appliance, the physician and the CMS-1500 claim. Built for dentists, usable by the physicians you co-manage with.

Where dental practice management software stops
A dental PMS charts teeth and submits CDT codes. Oral appliance therapy is a medical treatment with a medical payer, a physician's diagnosis and a months-long timeline. Running it in dental software means spreadsheets and paper folders. That works at five cases a year and fails at fifty.
| What a sleep case needs | General dental software | Appnea |
|---|---|---|
| Claim form and payer | ADA claim form with CDT codes to a dental payer | CMS-1500 to medical payers with ICD-10, CPT and HCPCS (E0486), CDT kept for dental services |
| Diagnosis source | Dentist diagnoses and treats | Physician's sleep study interpretation and order stored on the case, with physician access |
| Coverage documentation | Pre-treatment estimate | Medical eligibility, prior authorization, letter of medical necessity and proof of delivery tracked per case |
| Treatment timeline | Single procedure plus hygiene recall | Consult, scan, delivery, titration, follow-up testing and annual recall as one sequence |
| Outcome data | Chart notes | Baseline and follow-up AHI, RDI, ODI and Epworth scores side by side |
| Appliance fitting | Manual bite registration | MAD-FIT algorithm informs the therapeutic jaw position from patient-specific data |
Every step of a sleep case, in one record
Nine modules share one patient record, so a study received, an authorization approved or a scan uploaded is visible to everyone on the case.
From hygiene screening to a paid claim
Cases are lost in the hand-offs: screened but never referred, a study received but never acted on, an authorization that expired before delivery. Appnea makes every case visible at every step.
Screen
Hygiene-recall screening and questionnaires land in the record as structured scores, not scanned paper.
Refer and test
Send the referral, receive the interpreted sleep study, and store the diagnosis and order on the case.
Verify and authorize
Run medical eligibility, then track the prior authorization request, approval number and expiry.
Scan and fit
Review the STL in the viewer, let MAD-FIT inform the starting position, and send the order to the lab.
Deliver and titrate
Record delivery, schedule titration visits in person or by video, and document each adjustment.
Confirm and bill
Compare follow-up AHI to baseline, assemble the claim package, and submit the CMS-1500.
Software and a billing team, not one or the other
A billing service cannot fix documentation it never received, and software cannot chase a payer. Appnea does both: the platform structures the case so the claim package is complete, and Appnea's RCM team takes it from there.
- Medical eligibility and DME benefits checked before the impression, not after the delivery.
- Prior authorization requests, approval numbers and expiry dates tracked on the case.
- CMS-1500 claims generated from the record with ICD-10, CPT and HCPCS codes, E0486 included.
- Letters of medical necessity, CPAP history and proof of delivery assembled into the claim package.
- Appnea's Insurance and RCM team submits and follows the claim, so the practice needs no in-house medical biller.
