The DME did it again!!!

I turned my machine in about 2 months ago, and if you remember they tried to charge me for a humidifier which was integrated into my machine, for a total bill of around $1100.00 (for one month use). I finally got it down to $239.00.

Well, today I got a past due bill from them, and guess what -- they charged me for the machine and humidifier use for the last two months.

Like I said before -- if I was some little old lady, not quite capable of understanding all of this, they would have probably gotten a payment from me.

Instead, they got a very irate phone call.

I am glad I purchased my own equipment, because I cannot deal with those inept people any longer!!!

Take care

Skittles...I have the same integrated machine. When my DME (Apria) billed Medicare for a humidifier, I called Medicare to object to the billing. Medicare told me that they automatically approve a separate humidifier billing with every CPAP...EVEN IF IT IS INTIGRATED. This is why Medicare is in such a mess. Larry
