I have been using a cpap machine and supplies via Apria since July/August 2023. They informed me in 2024 that my insurance denied a claim from 2023 for $349. It was of no fault of mine. It was a paperwork error and by the time I was made aware of the issue and tried to appeal with ****, the time to appeal was up. Apria sent the $349 to collections which has hurt my credit. They refuse to order me new supplies until this amount is paid. I am using supplies that are almost a year old. They are certain to develop mold and contain bacteria.Business Response

Thank you for taking the time to bring your concerns to our attention. Upon review of your account, the general manager confirmed that the claims dated 7/14/2023 and 8/14/2023, were denied due to needing Medical records. The medical records that ********************** was in possession of were sent to the insurance, however the claims continued to be denied, and you were billed for those denials. As this is past timely for you to appeal with your insurance, as a courtesy, we have requested the recall of the balances ($349.86) from the collection agency. Please allow up to 30 business days for the Agency to update their records. Your Apria account will be updated to reflect the recall in 3-5 business days. Your account will then reflect a $0 balance.

I was a ********************* Advantage customer and was prescribed a CPAP machine which was fulfilled by Apria Healthcare. I never used it and attempted to return it to their Portland ****** office. The clerk told me I only had "one more month" due and I should keep it. So, I did. In January, I switched ****************** providers to United Healthcare. But the bills never stopped. So I called Apria's billing department and they said I had many more months due, that I had to keep the device for 10 months. The representative went on to say that when my insurance provider changed, Apria 'reset' the contract, imposing a new contract that erased the months of payments made while under ****** coverage.Business Response
Date: 06/05/2025
Thank you for taking the time to bring your concerns to our attention. Upon review of your account, the billing representative has confirmed that your previous insurance rented the equipment for 13 months and Apria received 9 payments for the rental. The purchase price was not met by the time your insurance termed, and a new insurance started on 1.1.25. Apria has received 4 payments from your new insurance, we have converted the rental equipment to purchase and requested the May claim be voided. As of today June 5, 2025, the equipment belongs to you. The balance on the account of ***** is for dates of service 3.29.25 & 4.29.25 which is your coinsurance and is valid.

Apria supplied oxygen (breathing) equipment to my wife in January of this year, including a tank, a plug in concentrator and a portable concentrator. My wife died on February 1st. A few days after I notified Apria of her death, one of their employees came to pick up the equipment. However, he wasn't told to pick up the portable concentrator. I asked him to take it with him anyway to turn it in with the other 2 items and he did.Sometime later Apria contacted me saying they needed to pick up the portable unit, and I informed them I had sent it back with the other equipment. When the unit was originally delivered to us their employee wrote down the serial number for their records, so I suggested they check to see if that unit had been reassigned to some other patient. Thinking that all they had to do was look for that serial number's current location.Some time went by and then the same man who had delivered it originally came to my house again, to see about it. He remembered picking it up with the other equipment. I suggested to him that the company check their inventory again for the location of the unit with that serial number and he ********** I've received a bill (copy uploaded) for $5,191.47 wanting me to pay for the portable concentrator.Apparently they have a communication problem between their various offices, problems keeping track of their inventory, etc.I am not responsible for equipment that was returned to them - equipment they lost or misplaced and don't want to pay for their mistake or lack of oversight.Business Response

This concern is regarding the reporter's wife. Can you ask him to provide her name and Apria ID if possible. We need to search for her in our system, as she was the patient. Unfortunately, she has passed away. Thank youCustomer Answer

MY WIFE'S NAME WAS ***** *** WHITE i DON'T KNOW THE APRIA ID NUMBER.
Surely Apria has a record of her as a patient who was located in ************, ************ The oxygen equipment was used by her in January of this year.
Her cell # was ************. Birth date **********
I simply want Apria to take responsibility for losing track of the portable concentrator that I returned to them and not bill me for equipment that they lost.
I also want notification from them stating that the issue has been resolved and that I'm not liable for said equipment.

Date: 05/30/2025
Thank you for taking the time to bring your concerns to our attention. Upon review of your account, the billing representative has confirmed that all open invoices are for dates of service prior to the return of the rental equipment, Apria bills based on possession and not usage. As a courtesy the General Manager from your local office has agreed to adjust off the open balance which will leave your account with a zero balance.
The agreement we believe the customer service representative is speaking of is the insurance requires the rental equipment to be used 70% of the time so that they will give authorization for the continued rental and pay the claims from the provider. We do not see where Apria continued to send supplies/equipment, the rental equipment was returned on 3.7.25 and the last supplies were sent on 2.4.25 and those supplies were shipped at no charge under manufacturer warranty as you initially received the wrong mask kit.
Please allow 30 days for the adjustment to be processed and cleared, please disregard any statements you may receive during that time, we have placed a permanent call removal on your account as well a do not use attribute on your account.

I requested a return of equipment apria to pick up. Finally after 4 failed pickup Apria finally picked up equipment 3/7/25.

Thank you for taking the time to bring your concerns to our attention. Upon review of your account, the billing representative has confirmed that your account has been adjusted leaving a zero balance. We reviewed the prescription received from your physician and Apria provided the equipment ordered specifically the rental equipment and supplies were sent based on the order received. No specification was made by your physician for the mask kit and when that didnt work Apria provided another one under the mask warranty at no charge even though it was after the 30-day warranty period. You called in on 2.10.25 and spoke with customer service stating you now have the correct equipment but have a cold and will start using it in about a week. Apria bills are based on possession, not usage and since the equipment was not used as required by your insurance a letter was sent to you on 3.3.25 requesting the equipment be returned or if not returned you could be charged for the equipment. Per comments we show different dates for the pickup of the equipment and Apria did not bill after 2.19.25 and equipment was returned on 3.7.25. As stated in our original response we have placed a Do Not Use and permanent call removal attribute on your account which can take up to 7-10 business days to cease all calls.

Apria *********** is a supplier of durable medical equipment. They have supplied me with a CPAP machine based on orders from my doctor. My doctor has determined that my CPAP machine (which I require on a nightly basis) is defective and must be repaired or replaced. My doctor has provided Apria with directions reflecting her instructions. Apria is IMPOSSIBLE to deal with - they have no person who can advise me when and how I will receive a replacement for this equipment. They have no information about a corporate office where I could register a complaint. An hour-long customer service call with a representative -- for whom English is not a native language -- resulted in ZERO useful information. Please note, that on ****, this company has 292 1-star reviews out of 320 total; they're awful.Business Response

I have been a customer of ********************** since Aug 2024. They routinely robo call me and do not tell me what they need on the message. When I call in to find out what they need the people I speak to are rude and unhelpful as well as uninformed (they don't know why I was called). Recently I started receiving weekly robo calls so I called an told them to stop. The person refused and when I asked for a manager to call me that did not happen. I called back and requested a manager but was argued with and hung up on my the ***resentative. I called back for a different *** who did the same. At that point I reached out to ***** in Ft Worth who I spoke to previously and requested a call back. I have left her multiple messages with the ***s in her office and have never received a call from her.
