Clear Chronic Care Expands into Sleep Medicine with Medicare-Focused Platform

Nashville-based Clear Chronic Care is expanding its remote patient monitoring (RPM) and chronic care management (CCM) platform to include sleep medicine, aiming to improve care for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and related conditions while streamlining Medicare reimbursement for providers. This expansion comes as Medicare increasingly prioritizes longitudinal care and quality outcomes.

Addressing the Growing Need for Chronic Sleep Care

Sleep medicine is increasingly recognized as a critical component of chronic care, particularly in managing OSA. Clear Chronic Care’s platform is designed to address the challenges physician practices face in delivering sustained patient engagement between office visits without increasing operational burdens. The company positions itself as an infrastructure partner, offering a comprehensive solution for value-based reimbursement.

How the Platform Works

Clear Chronic Care’s integrated infrastructure combines several key features:

• Remote Patient Monitoring: Utilizing cellular-enabled physiologic monitoring devices to track patient health data remotely.
• Structured Chronic Care Planning: Developing individualized care plans based on diagnosis and patient needs.
• Preventive Gap Identification: Identifying and addressing gaps in preventive care.
• CMS-Aligned Documentation: Automating documentation to ensure compliance with Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) standards.
• Personal Care Advocates (PCAs): Dedicated PCAs provide patient support and ensure continuity of care.
• Perfect Care™: A framework for structured quality and preventive care.
• Care Plan Now™: A personalized, diagnosis-driven chronic care planning engine.

Focus on OSA and Cardiometabolic Conditions

The platform enables specialists to remotely monitor oxygen saturation and cardiometabolic indicators, reinforcing CPAP adherence through structured care plans. It as well tracks risk factors for hypertension and diabetes associated with OSA and identifies preventive care gaps within Medicare populations. Medicare currently covers Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy for adult patients with moderate or severe OSA [1].

Benefits for Providers

Clear Chronic Care aims to help providers:

• Capture recurring revenue for longitudinal care.
• Improve audit readiness.
• Scale operations responsibly.
• Enhance both patient outcomes and financial stability.

A Scalable Operating System for Medicare Chronic Care

“We built Clear to function as infrastructure, not as a point solution,” said Doug Pace, Co-Founder and Chief Commercial Officer of Clear Chronic Care. “When monitoring, care planning, quality performance, and patient engagement operate together, practices can scale responsibly while improving both outcomes and financial stability.”
