MediCare Rental is 13 Months Even With Replacement Machine

Is Apria making money?

Market price:

ResMed S9 Elite CPAP with humidifier = $1,012

PR System One REMstar BiPAP AutoSV Advanced with humidifier =$3,700

Total market price = $4,712

Aprea Billed MediCare $331.52 and MediCare paid $92.94 -- For THREE months

Aprea Billed MediCare $1,890.56 and MediCare paid $535.71 -- For TEN months



p.s. I was in a similar situation in the same time frame. But I wanted to replace my original S9 Elite (on rental from Medicare) with S9 Autoset. But b/c the Elite and the Autoset have the same ID code it did not go and I had to pay for it from my pockets $830 (for the Autoset's flow generator only). So I have now two S9 machines with one humidifier.
