In the case of non-pathological snoring, health insurance companies will not cover the expenses of a MAD (as health insurance companies can only refund costs associated with the treatment of an illnesses). In the case of pathological snoring, especially obstructive sleep apnoea, the coverage will depend on the reimbursement method of the respective health insurance company. To be eligible for a refund, you must submit a pre-authorization application for compensation to the health insurance company prior to purchasing the MAD.
