That's not what atxrr said - it looks like his DME is going to figure out a way to bill him for $2000spmccord wrote:Just remember....the $2000.00 is just the MSRP. The insurance company will allow a lower amount that the DME has to accept.
I just received a scrip for a CPAP machine with a 8 pressure. I have Cigna coverage and for DME they pay 80% but only after a $2,000 deductible. When i talked to the DME referred by my doc, they told me I only have the choice of 1 machine (a Resmed S9 autoset) for $2000 and change, including all hoses, humidifier, etc. I said it seemed suspicious that it's the same price as my deductible and she said that it's the contract rate from Cigna and that's all they have.
