apZme's Expansion: Enhancing Access to Sleep Apnea Treatment for Veterans Nationwide

apZme, a prominent provider in dental sleep medicine, has made significant strides in offering improved access to sleep apnea treatments for veterans across the United States. As of April 13, 2025, the company has successfully credentialed nearly 100 clinics through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), marking a substantial expansion in their service.

This expansion is crucial for veterans who require alternatives to the traditional CPAP therapies that many find uncomfortable or difficult to use. apZme's clinics are approved to provide oral appliance therapy, a non-invasive and effective treatment for obstructive sleep apnea. Rani Ben-David, the Chairman and Founder of apZme, emphasized the company's dedication to serving those who have served the nation, stating, _“It’s an honor to serve the ones who served. This expansion shows our commitment to delivering life-changing sleep solutions to veterans across the country.”_

The advantages of oral appliance therapy compared to CPAP machines are clear. With oral appliances, veterans find comfort and portability that facilitate easier compliance with treatment. This is particularly important given that many veterans struggle with issues such as PTSD, depression, and anxiety that can be exacerbated by the use of traditional CPAP machines.

To enhance the accessibility of sleep care for veterans, apZme has partnered with Millennium Sleep Lab, a leader in home sleep testing. This collaboration offers veterans the opportunity to undergo sleep diagnostics from the comfort of their homes, eliminating the need for travel and reducing wait times for diagnoses and subsequent treatments. Jeff Scholtes, the CEO of Millennium Sleep Lab, highlighted the convenience of this approach: _“Our home testing lets veterans complete diagnostics without traveling far or facing long waits, connecting them directly to treatment through apZme clinics.”_

With each credentialed clinic receiving clinical education, billing assistance, and coordination with the VA, apZme is building a robust network that prioritizes patient care and long-term health outcomes. Dr. Tom Gotsis, a retired Colonel and a US Army veteran currently serving as apZme's Clinical Dental Director, explained the impact of this expansion on veterans’ health. _“Many veterans I treat have PTSD, depression, and anxiety. Wearing a CPAP often worsens these conditions. Expanding care brings real change for veterans with sleep apnea.”_

Veterans seeking oral appliance therapy for sleep apnea are encouraged to consult with their VA providers to receive referrals to credentialed apZme clinics. The company is not only committed to enhancing the health of veterans but also aims to further expand its network to several hundred VA-credentialed clinics by year-end.
