Patients can now pay for CPAP alternative iNAP, an intermittent negative air pressure therapy, for $58 a month over 24 months. This new iNAP Essentials initiative removes one of the biggest barriers to treatment—cost, according to marketer Somnics Health.
“The OSA [obstructive sleep apnea] treatment landscape is no longer CPAP-only. iNAP is effective, comfortable, and discreet—and now, more affordable than ever,” says Olivier Lauzeral, general manager of Somnics Health, in a release. “With iNAP Essentials, we’re removing the affordability hurdle.”
iNAP is a Food and Drug Administration-cleared therapy that uses negative pressure to keep the airway open during sleep. It works by creating a light vacuum in the oral cavity, shifting soft tissues forward and preventing obstruction. The device has a rechargeable battery lasting up to 5 nights.
“Adherence is one of iNAP’s biggest strengths,” Lauzeral says. “When therapy fits into your life instead of disrupting it, patients stay with it—and that’s how we win against OSA.”
For $58/month for 24 months, iNAP Essentials includes:
- an iNAP Starter Kit;
- 3 months of supplies (mouthpiece, tubing);
- nationwide shipping;
- onboarding with a trained iNAP Sleep Coach; and
- access to the iNAP Sleep App for tracking progress and sharing data with providers.
After the initial supply period, patients can purchase refills from Somnics’ online store.
“We built this program with transparency and simplicity at its core,” Lauzeral says. “It’s everything you need to start treatment—nothing you don’t.”
