Need new cpap equipment supplier

Post by Hurricane » Sun Nov 23, 2014 4:01 pm

I live in northern NJ, and I'm looking for a new supplier of my cpap equipment because my present supplier no longer takes medicare. I was thinking Apria they are near me, another name I was given by medicare was Linscar. Any feed back is appreciated. I 'm going for a sleep study in a couple of weeks and I'm looking to get a new machine when I find out what kind I need, like cpap, bipap,etc.My present machine is eight years old so you can see its time to update.

Neither have a good reputation on this board. Best thing to do is personally go into their office and talk to them. Search both on this board and read what their users have to say about them.

Some folks report good results with both Apria and Lincare.

Others have had nothing but grief.
So, be very careful, ask lots of questions, and DON'T give your credit card number to either. Pay by check instead.
