Re: irritated with my DME (Pulmonary Solutions)

the DME has responded to my complaints, and seems to be taking them under advisement, I'm hoping they will improve. So I'm going to give them a chance to make some changes and we shall see if they improve.

Re: irritated with my DME (Pulmonary Solutions)

the modem doesn't bother me as much, its the fact the DME doesn't use the data they are collecting. Im not sure my insurance would be so happy to know they are paying for a modem and then the DME doesn't use its data for compliance, but instead relies on calling the patient to collect the data. in a...

Re: irritated with my DME (Pulmonary Solutions)

my DME added a cellular modem to my machine, and they download all the compliance data daily, so they know I'm using the machine....

Re: CPAP Basics - 8 - Dealing With Difficult DME's

Ask (and check yourself) to see if your insurance allows you to pick any DME you want, or if you have an exclusive contract with a particular DME (BTW, an office sending you to a particular DME against your will and/or not allowing you make the choice can get them in BIG trouble). I'm new to this D...

Re: irritated with my DME (Pulmonary Solutions)

Have you asked them or discussed with them that you would like the check up calls to stop? Honestly, any good DME company should be doing these things. Yeah, the calls can be annoying but it is better than a DME you can't get a hold of and that won't return your messages when you need something. I ...

irritated with my DME (Pulmonary Solutions)

This provider was selected by my Doctor, and i was given no choice, however the DME has the worse customer service in the world. They call asking questions they know the answers to, like what kind of machine i have, or they call for compliance, but they have a modem on my CPAP and download its data ...
