      I am diagnosed with sleep apnea and receive my supplies from Apria which are pjs for my insurance. Im sept oct of 2024 Apria started sent me a bill 1st for supplies then for the machine with two seperate amounts that did not correspond one was ****** for supplies the other was over 1 thousand dollars. When I called them they stated I had already been sent to collections and halted all supply orders. After several phone calls and long hours on the phone between my insurance company and Apria my insurance company informed me that **** had not received these bills and had verification **** had paid for the machine. On December 20 and 23, 2024 I paid a total of ****** to Apria *********** my insurance company asked me to not make anymore payments due to their plan to file a grievance. I was told that Apria is supposed to send bills directly to them. And that was not reflected in ther records Since that time I have started to recieved supplies and when I look at my Apria account there is no records of the ****** I paid or any refund. When I called **** said they saw the amount in my account history but that it could not be refunded because it was I paid to collections. I am thoroughly frustrated and I am ata a loss of what to do. Apria has bamboozled me, sent me to collections and kept my money even after being paid by my insurance company

      manager confirmed that as per conversation with a representative that the balances were recalled from the outside ***************** in January, and that your payment was posted in the system to those balance in error. As discussed with the representative on 4/17/2025, a refund request for the $349.52 was initiated. The refund check request is in process and can take ***** days for processing.

      I was diagnosed with sleep apnea in November 2024 and rented a **** machine through Apria. I only used the **** machine for a week because I needed a different mask. I called and spoke with *** several times to try to get a different mask. Apria failed to deliver a different mask, but continued to bill me for a **** machine that I could not use. After waiting for 2 months for the mask delivery, I decided to return the **** machine and all supplies. I returned the **** machine and all supplies via *** in January 2025. I figured that the rental charges from Apria would cease, but instead they have continued. Apria is still billing me for renting a **** machine that has been returned to them. I have spoken with several representatives about this issue and requested escalation to a supervisory level. My request was met with a disrespectful attitude. So, I researched Apria Healthcare. I find that millions of people have complained about Aprias purposeful delayed delivery of supplies and fraudulent billing for **** machines that have been returned. The representative I spoke with on Friday, April 11, 2025 failed to resolve this issue appropriately. In fact, she continued to state that the billing claims were valid and requested immediate payment several times. I was only able to use the **** machine for one week, so Im requesting a refund for Apria claims submitted in December 2024, January 2025, February 2025, and March 2025.

      On 7/18/2024 I had received notification from Apria Healthcare LLC that **** supplies were being sent to home address. I called their number *************) and directed to their resupply customer service, where I told them I did not request resupply. They said I did but were unwilling to provide me evidence. I told them to remove me from the auto supply list. They said they would, which then I asked for an email verification. They refused and said "rest assured" I was removed.On 1/7/2025 I had received another notification that **** supplies were being. I immediately called their resupply department (same number above). They told me supplies were sent, but they would provide a return label. They said I was on the auto supply list still. I told them to remove me, and give me an email verification. They refused to send verification and said "rest assured" it was done. Supplies were sent back and an email verified that April received the items.On 4/11/2025 I again was sent an email notification that supplies were being sent. After calling to the resupply department they refused my request to talk to a manager. They only gave me an employee ID: JEBORA. They told me I was removed but again refused to give me verification. They said they would issue a return label of the supplies I received (haven't seen one yet). I will be contacting my Insurance since it seems that according to **** that Apria keeps looking to charge my insurance. From my perspective this could be a form of harassment of unwanted or requested services. Maybe more if the insurance company is being hit with request to pay for unwanted shipped products.

      I was referred by my doctor to receive a sleep apnea machine , I was told the company would contact me , but instead I received the sleep machine in the mail , I never opened the box , never used the machine , I then sent the machine back and it was picked up by them .I get 3-4 phone calls a day from Apria , I have explained that I sent the machine back , which they have record of , after several more phone calls without anything resolved , (they said this money owed was for renting the machine ) which I was never told .Finally I asked to speak to a manager on a recent phone call , the girl put me on hold , she came back on , and said that they did not have a signed agreement with me , and that the Machine was sent back to them , so they was send it to the local branch and have the balance written off .So after this I received another call , when I told them what was said on the last call , they said , oh we sent everything to the office and they are not writing anything off for you .I told them i didnt want to receive anymore calls from them ..but they continue ************ they have sent part of the bill to a collection agency , I feel I do not owe this money , because I never used nor took it out of the box , and sent it back , I just cant get through to this company .

      Thank you for taking the time to bring your concerns to our attention. Upon review of your account, the general manager confirmed that the equipment is billed on possession not usage as you received the equipment on 5.29.2024 and did not return until 1.21.2025. The open invoices and balance that have been sent to collections were for dates of service prior to the equipment being returned. We do not see where you made any attempts to return the equipment prior to our calls made to get the rental equipment back in December 2024. Before those calls, we attempted to contact you to get updated insurance information, those calls were not returned. The current balance of $40.15 and the balance of ****** in collections is valid.

      Thank you for taking the time to bring your concerns to our attention. Upon review of your account, the general manager confirmed that even though we bill your insurance based on possession and not usage, we did not hear back from you when our representatives called and left messages for you, we only heard from you once you received a bill, but as a courtesy we will adjust the balance.

      I had a problem with your equipment CPAP since June of ***************************************************************************************************** I get a call at 4:15 pm to 4:30 Pm every time when I called back never an answer this went on for months and I leave a message this went on for months. I called and called same situation no answer was never told how to set the machine up properly which my ** told me Apria would and Apria said the same when they sent me the contract by email yet that never happened. The Cpap machine would throw water everywhere. I woke up after a few hrs the machine was ramping out more air then it should have felt like my lungs were going to explode. Then the machine stop putting out air all together. I was dealing with serious health issues most of 2023 and 2024 misdiagnosed went sepsis landed in the hospital for over a month had also had emergency surgery during this time. All I want is to return the machine and hardware and explain why 4 different credit agencies are sending me bills for the same thing? How can we best resolve the issue. I would like to return the equipment and get that off my credit report. Im on ******** my copay is $0. Yet insurance stopped paying due to non compliance of a malfunctioning machine and wrong size mask which was not my fault if the machine doesnt work how can I use it and on top of that I got the wrong size mask which leaked air when the machine did work briefly. If I have to go through a ******** advocate I will take that route. Since I tried Apria Customer support with no help I thought I would try this route to see if we can resolve this issue.

      Thank you for taking the time to bring your concerns to our attention. Upon review of your account, the billing representative has confirmed customer service had created an ** phone visit to contact you regarding issues you were having with your rental equipment. Based on comments the ** called on 8.2.23 no answer voicemail was left, 8.4.23, called again no answer voicemail left on 8.8.23 you returned the call from the **, message was left for the ** and the ** returned your call same day no answer another voicemail was left on 8.9.23 a letter was left to have you call back to discuss the issues with your issues with your rental equipment and your non-compliance with the equipment, no other calls were logged. Based on your insurance plan, if the insured is not compliant with the rental equipment the provider can bill the insured/patient. The balance is valid in collections and there is no current balance with Apria Healthcare.

      You may have called those days which I immediately called back as Soon as possible. I called over 30 times between 7/5/2023 and 9/16/2023 alone. I either had to leave a message which I did or either I was put on hold to get hung up on. I am enclosing a screen shot email to Apria support which in detail tells everything going wrong dated 9/23/2023. **** from support had someone call me again put on hold for 30 minutes and disconnected/hung up, I proceeded to call back and call numerous days same problems occurred either leave a message or left on hold only to get disconnected. I wanted to return the equipment but all I got was the run around. I got a bill from Apria for $28.00 this month as well as collections from 4 different agencies.

      Thank you for taking the time to bring your concerns to our attention. Upon review of your account, the general manager confirmed that the balance is valid as had possession of the equipment, and Apria bills based on possession and not usage. While you supplied an email you sent regarding to return the equipment, the equipment was never returned, nor is there a record of you reaching out to the local branch to return the equipment in the year and a half since the email. You ultimately would be responsible for returning the equipment to the branch.
      There were calls back and forth between you and the Respiratory Therapists to help resolve equipment trouble shooting, there was no follow up by you to return the equipment to the local branch. Apria received an order for supplies in December of 2023 and tried to reach you on 12/8/2023 and again was unable to reach you.
      Apria also attempted to call you concerning the open balances on your account and left voice messages on 12/26/2023, 6/10/2024, 7/30/2024, 12/16/2024, and 1/24/2025. There were no return calls to Apria concerning these messages to discuss the balance or request the return of the equipment.
      Due to possession of the equipment, the balance is valid.

      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. 

      In your first respond it was only two dates you called in 2023 now you have more dates all of sudden since I showed a screenshot of an email proving you wrong. I can provide call log too but all I get is the run around and lies. You stated my balance is zero in the first response yet I just got another bill from Apria and a collection agency as well. My question is would you pay for a product that doesnt not work as I stated in my September 2023 email. Secondly no one called to help me set it up aa you stated is a lie. My Sleep disorder ********** was told about this from the start and my cardiologist who referred me as well.  I used ResMed app and ******* to set it up myself.  Lets no forget this machine malfunctioned and could have killed me by ramping to much air in my lungs. I tried to return it to the location at ************************************************** in person was told I need to call for return approval they could not accept it . Well if I cant speak to someone nor return it with no code what can I do?? End of 2024 and 2024 I was deathly ill in the trauma unit of *******************. I had major surgery in 2024 actually two surgeries It is kind of hard to do something when you are deeply sick. I called over 30 times between June and September 2023. I tried again in 2024 after my surgeries it was constant phone tag and I did leave messages but your employees would call right about the time you would close every time so when I missed the call I would have to leave a message.  I want to know how you get rental bill on a heater hose and water tank that expired after 6 months which must be replaced yet you still charge a lease fee on something expired? I would love a break down of what ******** has already paid? Can you share with me the whole bill including what ******** has paid. I would also like to know why the rental agreement has no amount of time like months or years for the lease agreement to end?? I know the start date of the agreement when I signed but where is the break down of how long the contract is for? Seems like a shady business practice to not give some kind of  break down of the end lease date or how long the lease is for ?? Because there is nothing in that contract about the time frame or end date of said rental agreement ?? There is so many others complaining about the same situation as me thousands of reviews on ******, Yelp, and others all with very similar Problems dealing with Apria. I guess I can try arbitration next. I know one this is that I will never ever use Apria again. Hopefully you will answers some of my concerns this time around.

      On 8/15/2024, I ordered 3 items from Apria and I was billed $102.56. I called Regence, my insurance company, who sent me documentation of the 3 items billed, and it said that I owe Apria $41.02. I sent the paperwork into Apria on 2/17/25, and have received no response and no correction shows on my Apria account. I called ********************** on 3/6/25 and spoke to ***** who responded that "the account has been put on review and sent to the back office team". To date, I have received no corrected invoice, no response from Apria and I keep getting bills that I owe the same amount (minus what I've already paid to them). I need help getting a corrected response from Apria

      Thank you for taking the time to bring your concerns to our attention. Upon review of your account, the billing representative has confirmed that when the order was placed the representative had attached the wrong payor, that has been corrected and your coinsurance is *****, currently ***** has been paid leaving a balance of *****. Your insurance allows the provider to provide 90 days of supplies, but we must bill your insurance over a 90-day period, this is called a split claim, and the insured will receive an explanation of benefit over the 3 months for the supplies received in the initial order. This causes a lot of confusion for the patient/insured as our system shows one order for the supplies and not all representatives at the insurance company is aware of this as well. We do sincerely apologize for the frustration this has caused.

      Apria sent an outstanding bill to collections after neglecting to tell me about the collection and actually speaking to me on the phone multiple times. I asked Apria on 3 different occasions if I owed them any more money for anything at all and they said no. Months later I received a new bill with more charges I was unaware of. When I called about that bill I was Informed about an additional separate bill that was sent to collections. In my opinion these are very shady business practices.

      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. 

      As you can see, No where on the bill states anything about  a collections amount.  Also the collections amount I paid was $78.75 not the amount you stated.  Yes as of today all bills have been paid.  The entire bill has been in dispute for over 6 months due to device usage penalty the neither I nor my insurance company was aware of until a few days ago. Once I received confirmation that I did owe the amount of the bill I paid it. My biggest complaint is that I was told by Apria that I had paid all money owed to them and would not be billed again only to receive another bill and be notified by phone of an additional collection debt.  I am requesting all phone transcripts so I may further research and compile proof of what was discussed on the phone.  

      Regards,

      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. 

       

       

      Did you (Apria) even read the last response I submitted?

      I do not need you to reclass my balance back to me that I that you paid on 4.9.2025. I spoke to my insurance, They informed me I owe that amount and I paid it. 

      My complaint is you (Apria) stated the Collections details for an unpaid balance is printed on my statement which is false. I attached a copy of my statement to prove this. 

      Also, my original complaint was that in November of 2024 I paid what I thought was a final bill that was confirmed telephonically by Apria. A few months later I received a new bill for $189.00 (Which has been paid) and I was also notified of a collection amount for approximately $89.00. In your prior response you stated the collections balance was $15.00. So why did I pay approximately $89.00? Why not relay the fact I have a collections amount while speaking to me on the phone numerous times?

      This issue can be resolved by it not affecting my credit report/score and an apology.

      Thank you for taking the time to bring your concerns to our attention. Upon review of your account, the billing representative has confirmed that we advised you in our last response that we have reclassed the balance back to the insurance not you the patient, the open invoices had not been billed due to the con-compliance with the rental equipment. Based on your prior rebuttal you stated that you nor the insurance were aware that compliance was required so we sent the **************** & 6.23.24 dates of service to the insurance for review. Your insurance rents the equipment for 6 months and then it converts to sale belonging at that point to the insured, you received the equipment on 1.23.24 and the last bill date was 6.23.24. Based on the statement dated 1.21.25 it shows $15.75 was sent to collections, typically a balance of that amount does not usually affect your credit report. We have mailed copies of your statements to your address for your records. We are unsure why the representative you spoke with on 4.9.25 advised you that the balance in collections was $78.75 as that was incorrect, that is the charge for the monthly rental of your equipment. The balance in collections was paid when the payment of $189.00 was received and $173.25 is credit on your account. As stated in our previous response, if your insurance pays the above claims then Apria will issue a refund, minus any coinsurance you may be responsible for.
      We do sincerely apologize for any miscommunication you received and the frustration it has caused.

      In January of this year (2025) I received a cPAP unit from Apria for sleep apnea issues. Upon trying to set up the unit, I was receiving a "Error 1" message. This error made the unit inoperable. For the over a month and a half, I made countless calls to Apria, trying to get assistance with this error. No one, not a single person, knew what the error was, nor how to fix it. Finally, on March 24, I took the unit to my local Apria branch in ***********, ** to return the equipment and to ask for a refund of the $457.26, the amount I paid for this this defective cPap unit. Despite me asking to see a supervisor, the front desk lady accepted the unit and assured me my refund will be given to me on the credit card given to them by me for the purchase.15 days later, on April 8, I still have not received my refund. When I called today ( April 8), I was transferred 3 o4 times, was on hold for well over an hour, and when asked to speak to a supervisor, once again, I was refused. I was finally able to talk to *****, who said that "they" said they didn't get the return until the beginning of April, and that it will take 4 - 6 weeks to get my refund.

      Thank you for taking the time to bring your concerns to our attention. Upon review of your account, the billing representative confirmed that we have adjusted the open invoices leaving the account with zero balance. We reviewed the account looking for any payments received and do not see where a payment was received or applied to your account. We will need you to provide proof of payment so that we can research where the payment is. You may provide that information to your local office, to the following email ******************************* or respond to our BBB response. Until then we are unable to process a refund.

      Are you saying you provided the equipment to me free of charge? I highly doubt that! Also, why would your representative at the front desk verify the credit card used in the purchase, telling me that I would receive a refund 4-6 weeks? I will get written copy of my statement, as well as spread the word to all family and friends what a cowardly, distrustful, and down right dishonest company Apria is, as well as your employees!

      Thank you for taking the time to bring your concerns to our attention. Upon review of your account, the billing representative has confirmed that we did not charge anything to your credit card that we had on file for the rental of the equipment and purchase of supplies. The local office is not trained on the billing side of Apria, they will process orders and work with the patients regarding their equipment needs, we can only speculate that they verified your credit card information and advised you that a refund can take 4-6 weeks, to which the refund process is 7-10 business days. As we stated in our previous response, if you have proof that your credit card was charged, we require that proof to investigate the charges as again we do not see where your card was charged for the equipment Apria provided on 2.21.25. As we previously stated in our original response as a courtesy, we did adjust the open balance on the account leaving the account with a zero balance.

      Apria claims they don't hsve record of the $400 they charged me, yet, when I turned in the equipment, their front desk lady told me exactly what credit card was used in the transaction. If there was no transaction, how did she know my credit card? Also, does this mean Apria sent and lent me the equipment free of charge? I think not! Apria is a shifty, unethical businesd that people should be aware of. No business should steal frpm customers and that is exactly what ********************** did.

      Thank you for taking the time to bring your concerns to our attention. Upon review of your account, the billing representative has confirmed that in both of our previous responses we have requested you provide proof that payment was charged to your credit card, you have not provided that information to this point. The representative that you spoke with when you returned your equipment was able to give the credit card information as it is visible in your account, however that does not indicate that your card was used as again it has not been charged by any Apria representative. We billed your insurance for the equipment and your insurance denied our claims after the equipment was returned and we adjusted off the invoices as a courtesy as the equipment had been returned. No, we did not provide the equipment free of charge, we did bill your insurance, and not your credit card. Again, if you can provide the bank statement showing a charge to Apria Healthcare we will gladly investigate where that payment was made.

They are dishonest, greedy, and lie through their teeth when they say customers are of highest importance.

      This is a new claim for February 2025. I have filed two prior claims against this company for incorrect billing for dates prior to February 2025 but they keep billing incorrectly. They need to bill under tier 1 HMO, but bill under tier 2 PPO which causes me to incur fees. Both prior complaints resolved with Apria agreeing they were at fault and they zeroed my balance, but both times they immediately billed my improperly going forward. I want them to reverse the $18.85 charge for February 2025 and I want to terminate my service with them. I am tired of dealing with this over and over again. Last time they claimed they needed authorization from my insurance. My insurance sent authorization again (they'd previously authorized the service) but still they make billing mistakes.

      Thank you for taking the time to bring your concerns to our attention. Upon review of your account, the billing representative has confirmed that we have adjusted off the current balance on the account due to the billing error. Apria obtained authorization as required but in error a billing representative attached the wrong coinsurance to the invoice. We have converted the equipment to sale as the rental bills for 13 months and converted it to sale then belonging to the insured. We do sincerely apologize for the error that occurred.

      Dates of service 07/20/2023 to 3/30/25. Total denial claims $2320.76 bill owed and $884.80 in collections. $3205.56 is denied amount for total claims. This is for a cpap and oxygen concentrator. The company has not billed the claims using the correct primary diagnosis. End result is insurance denying all claims with reasoning being ************ is being denied because the manifestation diagnosis has been billed as primary." The primary diagnosis is G47.33. This code has been provided by myself and the insurance company to Apria on numerous occasions. I have made several calls myself and with three way calls with myself and insurance to try and resolve this matter. Each time being told that they will place a hold on billing and rebill claims. This has yet to be done. As of today I am still receiving calls from over seas billing trying to collect balance. I have since been turned over to collections in the amount of $884.80. I am just wanting resolution and all I'm asking is for Apria to bill claims correctly so they will receive payment. Once claim is processed and paid correctly, I have no issue in paying my portion.

      Thank you for taking the time to bring your concerns to our attention. Upon review of your account, the billing representative has confirmed that we have corrected the diagnosis codes on the invoices, corrected the insurance on the current invoices so the claims can be billed and recalled the balance from collections. The account currently has zero balance, but this could change based on the insurances review of the open claims due to any deductibles/out of pocket/coinsurance. Please allow the collection agency 30 days to remove the balance and to notify the ************* to update the credit report if reported, during this time please disregard any calls and or statements you may receive. We do sincerely apologize for any frustration this has caused.
