I ordered CPAP supplies from Apria Healthcare in May 2024. The order (0627-54098) included an air hose for my ResMed Airsense 10. I received the order in a timely fashion. Unfortunately, the air hose I received was for a Airsense 11, which is not compatible with my CPAP machine. I have made four phone calls in an attempt to rectify the mistake, the last two requesting that my complaint be elevated, all to no avail. Their complaint system is a 'catch twenty two', you are unable to talk to anyone. Now I'm receiving phone calls to pay my bill.Business Response

I contacted Apria inquiring about pricing for CPAP supplies to be ordered. I needed a new hose and a new mask. They advised me the full retail price was 190 for the two items but my insurance would cover 80 percent. I advised them to not send anything without sending me an invoice and getting my authorization after looking over pricing and details. They assured me I would not be receiving any products until i went over an invoice first and gave an authorization. Two weeks went by I had not received any emails or authorization so I called again. They assured me they saw the notes and would not send anything until I approved an invoice price and their billing department would be emailing shortly after. The next week I received supplies but after being assured that the most I would be charged was 190 but I called to confirm again. They assured me that the most I would see was 190 but they were going to take care of it. The *** also told me they were going to try to bill my old ******** which I said I no longer had and said that is fraud, they said they often bill both just to see if they will pay. I DID NOT AUTHORIZE THIS. Today I recieved an invoice from UMR stating they billed them 1486 and my responsibility was 243. I called Apria and their automated system now states I have a ****** outstanding bill for 4 items when I only inquired about ordering two items. They only sent two as well without my authorization, I did not receive 4. I never received an invoice they sent product to me without my authorization billed for items that I never inquired about nor did they even send and they are attempting to bill an insurance I haven't had for years after I ***eatedly told them I only had UMR and told them not to bill anyone until I approved an order which they did not follow. Now I have an outstanding bill, products I didnt authoriaze (2 items) and a bill for 4, 2 that they never even sent. I have not yet paid this bill. The amount below is the amount I owe,Customer Answer

I spoke with Apria today. They are stating now they only sent two items and they never sent 4. ************ was billed for 4 pieces of medical supply, they have no record of a 4th item and the 3rd item they are stating I received was never sent. They were unable to find me any records of me authorizing this order, no signature, no phone confirmation. They kept sending me back and fourth between their ordering team and their billing team. After two supervisors there is still no resolution. They cannot even provide me details of the 4th item billed to my insurance. They were unable to pull up my phone records from the other 3 times I called confirming the fact they were never suppose to send an order before telling me pricing. I very clearly said I do not authorize the shipment of any product until they can provide me billing details. They also confirmed with me they tried to ************* in addition to UMR. They tried to get this bill paid by two insurances even though the state insurance has not been something I have had for years and they knew I called to remove that. They flat out told me they wanted to see if ******** would still send a payment even if my account was no longer. This is not okay. This is fraud on the states healthcare system.Business Response

Thank you for taking the time to bring your concerns to our attention.Upon review of your account, the billing representative has confirmed that after speaking to the resupply team their records show that 4 items were shipped by the warehouse that ships out our supplies to our patients when we look at our system it shows a whole kit was shipped. The insurance requires that when their insured receives these supplies that the components be broken down and the billing codes be billed separately, that would account for 3 of the 4 items that were billed for. The other item we cannot explain why it was not shipped from our vendor again as we stated that their invoice shows the 4 items that were billed for were shipped to your address. We do sincerely apologize and as previously explained in your last complaint that we have adjusted off the invoice, we did not receive payment from your insurance or from you, we did not request that you return the supplies and gave you the supplies at no charge due our error. The secondary insurance has been removed and your account noted that the secondary payor is no longer active and not to be used. Again we do sincerely apologize for the frustration this has caused you.

Knowing how difficult it is to communicate with Apria Healthcare, I began requesting a replacement size Small nasal pillow three months prior to a planned Alaskan cruise (to have fresh supplies for travel). After receiving no response to phone and live chat requests, I used the online patient portal to order the replacement piece. Apria provides no order acknowledgment, no shipping notice, but after three calls I was able to confirm F&P [****** and Paykel brand] nasal kit was ordered. All orders since I began therapy were placed and billed directly with Apria. I finally received the replacement piece one day prior to our flight, however Apria had sent a Large nasal pillow. Not only did the mask not fit me for proper CPAP therapy, the plastic did not fit the headpiece and cut into my cheeks and chin. I began calling and emailing Apria July 23, 2024 about their mistake, with no response. Six contact attempts on July 24 received no response. On July 25 I tried contacting the supplier and 12 medical supply companies in the ******* area, hoping I could just buy the correct mask, but their requests to Apria for authorization were ignored. I called and emailed Apria 17 times between July 23 and July 27 and as of today have received no response. Apria destroyed our trip. I had abrasions all over the bottom half of my face from the plastic on the incorrect mask. Ten days without proper sleep is not healthy or enjoyable, and we were devastated as we had saved years for this trip, which we took instead of having a wedding. Why are there no legitimate order records or quality checks? Why do they not respond to any contact avenues? It is unacceptable for any medical company to act with such reckless negligence and I am seeking reimbursement of $8999.22 for our losses.Business Response

While I appreciate the call from an Apria representative on 8-12-24, the stock response to this note is an insult. The justifications provided for their destruction of my husband and my once-in-a-lifetime experience were: the computers were broken; the system was broken; the chat feature was broken; no one reads the order notes (where the equipment sizes/details are kept) and it didn't matter anyway because the ordering system was broken; the phones were broken; the messaging system was broken; and no one reads requests from customers or other ******************** entities because the emails and voice mails were broken too. She noted they are going through upgrades to try to prevent these things from happening anymore, but they never should have happened in the first place and the fact remains Apria has still never responded to me- they responded to the BBB representing me. Acting as if they are granting me an immense favor by replacing the incorrect item a month after the fact is shameful. Financial compensation is the only reasonable response to this disaster, though no amount of money could mitigate what Apria has taken from me and my family.

In January 2024 a box with a CPAP was delivered to my house with no accompanied paperwork or indication that this was a rented unit. At no point did I talk to anyone or receive any paperwork that I would be incurring a monthly fee. For medical reasons I was unable to use the machine. I contacted my doctor's ****** to discuss options. Every few days I received automated calls from Apria asking if I was using the ***** I selected "No" each time and received the response that someone would contact me, but that never happened. Roughly June 19 I received a call from a man that told me I owed a rental charge. I told him I needed to talk to customer service and he told me he wouldn't transfer me unless I paid first. After many failed attempts to reach someone I submitted an online form on July 8th telling them that I was never told it was a rental that would incur a monthly fee. On July 24 they responded that because it wasn't returned within 30 days they would not waive the fee THAT I WAS NEVER TOLD THERE WAS IN THE FIRST PLACE. I would have returned the unit immediately if I had known it was a rental and not a machine I now owned.Business Response

On Thursday August 1, 2024, i ordered a CPAP mask through Apria via telephone. I received my mask on Saturday August 3, 2024 and attempted to use it to sleep. The mask would not seal in order to effectively use CPAP. I contacted Apria on Monday August 5, 2024 and told them my situation. They said they will contact the return department and see what they can do. I received an email from Apria a short time later stating that they could not accept a return once a package was open and will not refund my money.Business Response

I keep receiving a bill that I have already paid. The bill is in the amount of $56.80. I have called Apria on July 2, 2024 to resolve this issue. They said to email ***************************** of which I did on the same day July 2, 2024. I have attached both the proof of payment and email in this complaint. I did not receive an email back and I received yet another past due bill dated July 24, 2024 for the same amount of $56.80. I reached out to Apria again on August 5, 2024 to resolve the issue via phone call. They once again said it was going to be referred to the revenue team to be reviewed. I also asked for a supervisor and was told no supervisor was available. During the call I stated that I ha proof of payment and I have sent an amil accordingly that Apria should have on record. I stated that I would like to have the issue resolved while on the phone since I have the proof and sent it as well. The person I spoke with would not move forward with this request and only said he would put a request in with the revenue team to review. I want to receive the credit I deserve for payment, and I do not want this to be reflected poorly on my credit. I would appreciate some assistance in resolving the issue of Apria not crediting me for my payment. Thank you,Business Response

Apria provides C-pap supplies. My dispute is ******** & supplemental insurance paid in full the ******** approved amount. Both insurances reflect we do not have any balance due; however, Apria continues after numerous phone calls to resolve the issue to bill us & is now threatening "further collection action". There is no reasoning with them. This issue needs to be resolved.Business Response

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined the response would not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.
After a 3-way call with Apria billing (***), our insurance & myself (********************* - wife) we do not believe this claim is due to a shortage. We have been told there was a price increase (following billing?). Apria was paid exactly what ******** approved and said was due. IF this is the result of a price increase or a shortage, the additional charge would need to be approved by ******** then sent to GTL. I was told the charge would be sent for review and the balance "for today". which was July 30, will show $0. *** could not give me any idea how long a review would take nor send me written confirmation of what she told me. 4 days later we received another call from Apria attempting to collect the $21.09 from us. They are simply going to continue calling us until they turn us over to collection. Our credit rating will prove we pay legitimate bills. IF Apria has a legal claim, they will need to file a revised claim with ******** first. I have called and requested to speak to a supervisor who was "on another line" and was suppose to call me back. *****, the supervisor, has not returned my call and I left the message last Friday. We have no reason to believe Apria is attempting to resolve this issue.We are requesting this complaint remain open.

Thank you for taking the time to bring your concerns to our attention.Upon review of your account, the billing representative has confirmed that Apria does not set the pricing for the supplies and or equipment our patients receive, pricing is based on the contracted rates set forth by the different insurance companies and Apria must bill according to the contracted rates, nor does Apria increase prices.
As stated in our previous response we had sent for a review to be done by the ****** who works your secondary insurance as your primary payor paid their 80% of their allowable, based on the balance of the claim the ****** did adjust the balance of ***** leaving the February date of service at 0.00.
At Apria Healthcare,our customers are an essential part of our business. Be assured that Apria Healthcare takes your concern very seriously. We want to stress that it is Aprias goal to be the first choice of patients and customers for their homecare needs.
Sincerely,
