      Apria is billing me for $203.01 for a wheelchair rental for Jan 2023-Mar 2023. They have submitted billing to my insurance, ****************** with incorrect billing codes. I have told them this and have even had my insurance *** call them and tell them that they need to resubmit the bill with the correct billing codes. They were also provided with the correct billing codes. Apria's position is that it has exhausted all efforts to collect payment from the insurance and now they insist that I pay them. They have also referred this matter to a collection agency. This situation has been ongoing since August or September of 2023.

      Thank you for taking the time to bring your concerns to our attention,the billing representative has confirmed that the incorrect payor had been added to the account which caused several billing errors to occur. Due to the authorization requirements Apria cannot obtain authorization and bill the correct payor. Since this was our error, Apria has adjusted the open invoices and recalled the balance of $270.68 from collections. Please allow the collection agency 30 days to remove and notify the credit bureau to update the credit report if reported, please disregard any calls or statements you may receive during this time.  We sincerely apologize for the frustration this may have caused.
      If you require further assistance regarding your billing, please call ************.

      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.

      I had an account with **********************. I closed it in June, 2023. There was a zero balance on the account. A few days ago, I started receiving telephone calls from the foreign workers who handle Apria's client contact. The caller was screeching into the phone that I owed $70+. That is the amount of the cost of the monthly rental without applying my insurance which paid 80%. The amount I used to pay was $18+ or the remaining 20% of the cost. The caller continued her diatribe saying "RIGHT AWAY! RIGHT AWAY!" every few words. This was a frightening experience as I am terminally ill and elderly. I hung up on the caller. I am uploading a screenshot of my account showing a zero balance at the time of closing.

      Thank you for taking the time to bring your concerns to our attention,the billing representative has confirmed that your insurance was billed and denied the claim due to missing documentation per their guidelines. Several attempts were made to obtain the clinical documentation from your physician. Apria also notified you of the issues and that this documentation was needed in order to obtain authorization from your insurance. While attempts were made to obtain the authorization and appeals made to the insurance the balance was reclassed to the member. Although the membersbalance is valid as a courtesy the open balance of $74.88 was adjusted off,leaving the account with a zero balance. A review of the phone logs found one call that was made on 12.28.2023 regarding the open balance. A review of the conversation and if warranted the call will be used as a training opportunity.   If you require further assistance regarding your billing, please call ************.

      Apria did not adjust the account "as a courtesy". I paid the $74.88 on January 8th as I did not want Apria to damage my credit. Here is an excerpt from Apria's payment page:

      Payments Processed in 2024
      DATE AMOUNT ACCOUNT CONFIRMATION NUMBER

      Because Apria has a history of misrepresenting facts, I will wait to see if I do indeed receive an adjustment for $74.88. If I do receive a check for that amount, I will close my dispute with them. Thank you Better Business Bureau for your consumer advocacy.
