Online DME..??

Post by The Texan » Tue Aug 17, 2010 1:44 pm

Is anyone familiar with, or use Americare Respiratory Services? The DME I have been with for the last 15 months has decided that I am not worth their time anymore, as the equipment is now paid for and all I am getting is new nasal pillows now and then. I was contacted by Americare Respiratory Services and they say they want my business, no matter how small it is. Just looking for feedback, as they are a California Co and I live in Idaho.

Shop the internet and then ask cpap.com to match any lower prices.

CPAP.com does not take Medicare/Tricare insurance and this company does. That is one reason I am looking elsewhere.

I have Liberty, Here is their Cpap #1-866-780-0628 They accept Tri-Care /Medicare
They are alright but at least they accept Obamacare/Tricare.

Good luck
