Apria and credit cards

Yep, they said it was backup funding since my machine will be on rental. I'll be checking out fine print when I go in.

If you haven't heard/read this enough times on the forum.......
Here's one more time.

DON'T GIVE THEM YOUR CREDIT CARD INFORMATION!!!

It's about 6 pages so get it a day or two early.

What ever happened to the issue raised in a recent thread about Apria losing their Medicare qualification? I checked it and it appears to be true, at least until they get re-certified at a future date. Come on, there's got to be lots of people on this forum that have worked or currently work in the offices of DMEs/doctors/insurance companies... they've got to know this stuff:

If you look again I think you will find that is regional.

They asked, and I gave. About a month later my card was compromised (Target, you know)
I cancelled the card and got a new one. Apria messed up on an order, and tried to run the canceled card.
--then they started nagging me for another card. I fired them in time to order my next supplies,
--from their competitor. Yessss! I got my nice new AS10 from the nice new place.

They pushed me for a credit card to keep on file. I told them no, they pushed a little harder and I pushed back. They eventually gave up and we moved forward without a credit card on file.

I've got a MasterCard that would be PERFECT for this...my son's jackwagon father is WAY behind in child support, so every month I get a whopping $25 added to this card...and probably will til my SON is old and gray...
Otherwise I agree with the idea of the prepaid card. Walmart sells the reloadable ones. That'd be enough to make someone pull out their hair.
