The most common question we get at Lofta is, "Does my insurance cover this?" It's a great question and one we are eager to answer and explain.
Lofta was founded to simplify the process of getting diagnosed and treated for sleep apnea. We’ve found that insurance requirements can unnecessarily complicate an experience that should be simple.
