Get Started: basics on sleep apnea

Sleep apnea is an abnormal breathing condition while asleep.  

It affects more than 20 million Americans.

The hallmark to the condition is you  have long pauses in your breathing pattern which causes your oxygen level to drop.

Often times people believe that it’s diagnosed with loud snoring, or maybe your sleeping partner hears you stop breathing for a period.

Sleep apnea is diagnosed during a “sleep study.”  While you sleep your oxygen level and breathing pattern is monitored.  

It used to be a complex test done in a doctors office type setting but now you can do it from home.

What are the best life insurance companies for sleep apnea

Buying life insurance is similar to buying car insurance.

 

Each company looks at rates/conditions differently and premiums can range across the board.  That’s why shopping around for the best rates and coverage is the way to go.

 

You may pay more for life insurance if you’re a smoker, or have heart disease just like if you have a bad driving record or DUI you pay more for car insurance.

 

But don’t let this scare you.

 

We have relationships with all the best life insurance companies such as; Prudential, Transamerica, and Pacific Life.  

After reviewing some of your basic health stats, we will guide you to 2-3 companies that can offer you the best rates and coverage.

Maybe this is you...

  • I have sleep apnea but I wear my CPAP everynight! In fact, I can’t sleep without it now.  ….GREAT!  This is the best way to get the best rates.
 
 
  • I have a CPAP machine but it’s broken. I need to repair it.  …..That’s ok!  We can go ahead and get the ball rolling and look at rates.  Get that machine fixed though, it’s important for your health!
 
 
  • I have a CPAP machine but never use it- I hate it!  We feel you.  Did you know that they offer lots of new mask options here in 2022? Maybe it’s as simple as getting refitted.
