I rented a sleep apnea machine from AdaptHealth. The machine was not working properly from day one. I called them numerous times to try and figure it out. However, they didn't do anything. After constant struggles I returned the machine, and was promised that they will stop charging me for the services. The machine was returned in July, but I am still getting charged as of 10/10/2023. I just received an email that another charge will follow in a few days.
They refuse to stop the charges, and refund my money since July. I do not use their services, not have any of their equipment. I was promised several times for the charges to stop, but it never happened. I do not have an account number, since it was never provided to me, but I have a phone number that I used to contact them - ************.
They have treated me extremely poorly, and they refused to take care of me and the problems I had with the equipment. I was never late for any of the payments. When I tried to get this resolved, they were rude and told me that there is nothing that it can be done and there is no way to stop the charges.
Thank you for your help.Business Response

The company is trying to charge us for supplies we did not order. I’ve been on the phone for the past two hours, talked to management, customer service reps, and the fulfillment center. I am being told that I ordered the supplies online and I don’t even have a account set up on line. I’ve asked for invoices, tracking numbers, and name of who approved the orders but was only emailed one tracking number so far. Talking to fulfillment I told them I didn’t receive a order in July they said I ordered. I was told they would reship the order. I told them the order isn’t needed because I am trying to get my new cpap machine I’ve been trying to get almost a year. I am unable to get my cpap because my account is put on hold. They put my health in jeopardy over a bill for $160 that I didn’t even order.Business Response

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:
The company just called and asked if they could clear up these charges by using the card of mine they have on file. I answered no. The man that called would not give his name when I asked for it. All their calls state they are recorded so they should be able to provide verbal proof from us of anything they say we’ve ordered. I don’t have an online account and they say I’ve ordered supplies online. I am rejecting this response because still to this day no proof of what they say I ordered has been emailed to me even though that is what I have asked for. I am still unable to get my new cpap because the account is still on hold.

I bought a ******* Stair lift from ********** Medical Equipment (***** Medical Supply) in June of 2022. My contract with them stated that within the first they would come out and check the stair lift to make sure that everything was okay with it. I contacted them in June of 2023 per our agreement. After numerous phone calls I was told they no longer service or repair this stair lift. They are in breach of our contract, and I was never notified that they were no longer servicing my chair lift.Business Response

10/07/2023 In the amount of $296.24.This charge amount was deducted from my Debit Card without my given permission and without my knowledge. When I contacted the company they told me it was an accident on their part and that it was in regards to a bill from January 2023. I was also informed that this bill was actually suspended back then because someone failed to run it through my health insurance. I was told that the person that took the money off the card was not even from their companies billing department and that he was going to escalate it to a higher department and they would call me back within an hour. I was not called back within a 3 hour timeframe so I called them back myself but was informed that I could not be transferred to escalation department and that the notes that they were reading in regards to the issue was going to take several business days for them to look over the matter and what had happened. All the while it does not solve my problem, a bill with someone else is due today by 5 and my service will be terminated if not paid, and its because this company took all the money I had left on my card. I live on a small SSI check from month to month and have no other way to get the money. This company has never before taken a payment without contacting me first until now.Business Response

I visited with them and they said they could order some diabetic shoes for me and they took all the necessary information and they would contact my insurance company. I paid $30.00. My insurance declined because they used a different company. I called my insurance company and they stated that adapt health never contacted them regarding the diabetic shoes. Now they are wanting me to pay $340.00. I have attempted return the shoes and they will not even talk to me anymore. The last time I spoke with adapt health they stated that they filed it wrong with a special code Location is at ******************************************, Springfield Mo. *****. I would like to return the shoes and I am willing to walk away from the $30.00 I can not pay $340.00. I am having great trouble getting ahold of someone to talk to.Business Response

I’ve been receiving financial assistance through AdaptHealth for ****** supplies for a few years. Each year I have to reapply, with proof of expenses and income. In Dec. 2022, I mailed application with documentation via USPS to AdaptHealth. I didn’t hear back and then received a bill early in 2023. I called and was told my application was not received. I sent a 2nd app., but with fewer receipts, since original paperwork was lost or in storage (I have been unhoused since mid-2022 and unable to keep all papers on-hand). This was also not received. A 3rd mailing in the spring was received, but was denied. I called during this entire process, explaining my situation, the difficulty of gathering all the papers over time and keep track of it, given my space was limited to my vehicle and been suffering from increasing cognitive/memory difficulties. I had an unpaid bill during this time, that I last spoke to them about in August, telling them I was in the process of accumulating all my receipts again, explaining my situation. I said I should have it all put together in a couple weeks, and asked if I need to worry about the bill going to collections during that time. The person I spoke with assured me I wouldn’t have to worry and that it would be noted that I was re-submitting the application and documentation. Last week, I sent the packet, but I also received a notice from a collection agency. I immediately called about it, but when I was transferred to billing and explained, they put me on hold for 20 minutes and never returned. This adversely affects my credit rating and my other aid, not to mention added stress-effects on my health. To make matters worse, AdaptHealth will not continue sending my needed ostomy products while this bill is disputed. When I run out of product, I have no way to stop the waste materials from spilling out all over. To say this is a nightmare is putting it mildly.Customer Answer

Since filing this complaint, I have received via postal mail, a reply to my recent re-application for financial assistance with this business. The reply stated that I qualified for 100% coverage of out-of-pocket medical expenses. This has been the case for some years, and would have also been the case at the start of this year, had they received my first application renewal that I sent December 2022. Given these facts, I am still asking that they retract the bill that was sent to credit collectors (in opposition to what they told me by phone), and that they retroactively apply this qualification for 100% coverage to that bill and all others this year.Business Response

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:The email response I received from the company simply said that they acknowledge my complaint and have resolved it. However, no one ever contacted me about my complaint, what I need in order to consider it resolved, nor what they think they did to resolve it.
Although I did receive a notice of approval for the last financial assistance application I sent in, I was not informed whether they were honoring it going back to previous bills, whether they still expect me to pay any previous bills from this year, or whether they have dealt with the one bill they sent to collections.
I also have not received a new order card for new supplies, and have had to use old supplies saved from some years ago, that are not as effective.
I have tried to contact them by phone, both calling the person listed on the vague email I was sent, and by trying to contact the billing department. I was unable to contact anyone.
I would like a phone call from the company (during the afternoon, PST) that all this can be discussed and resolved.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ******** and coupled with a prior call to the company, the issue has been resolved.I had finally been able to get in touch with the billing department and found that my bill had been cleared up and I could begin reordering supplies. The response is satisfactory, however, the effort and stress and time needed to accomplish it, was not. I am fine closing this complaint, and hope that I do not encounter this issue again.

September, 2023 ******** ****/********, an AdaptHealth company called, emailed and texted me MULTIPLE times throughout August and early September to get me to re-order my cpap supplies. I told them that I was waiting on a new cpap machine and did not want to order until I received the new machine. They continued to call, email and text regardless. My new machine was being ordered through AdaptHealth and I called them to make sure this was in my insurance network, since I was unfamiliar with that name. They reassured me they were a part of ******** ****, and coverage would be same. So when they called me AGAIN to order supplies for my current machine I went ahead and said yes since it looked like it might be awhile before receiving the new machine. I then received the notice from my insurance company, *****, that I would be billed for Out of Network Provider, since ******** **** was not in network. I would be responsible for around $361.00. Now, in order to not be billed for supplies received from ******** ****, who now admit they are Out of Network, I have to return unused supplies. This means I will have NO supplies for my cpap machine until I find an In Network provider and get supplies ordered and delivered. I do not want to be billed for ANY supplies from ******** **** and feel they should be held liable for the cost of the supplies sent due to their aggressive sales and deceptive practices. If I must return these supplies in order to not be billed, then I will not be able to use my medical device for Severe Sleep Apnea.I feel if a company is this aggressive in contacting people to order supplies then they should be aware first if they are even in the insurance company network. I believe they did know they were not In Network for ***** at this time because they know exactly which supplies I was even eligible to order due to coverage requirements.......Business Response

AdaptHealth contacted me on 8/21/23 to share the durable medical equipment ordered and delivery date. AdaptHealth told me to pay $270.04 on 8/21/23, and then told me to pay $104.04 on 8/24/23 before equipment was delivered. On 9/7/23, they also charged me $20.88. I asked why I was paying more than 20% which is my coinsurance before claims were submitted and why it was so much but could not receive an answer. I was also told the insurance companies do not normally cover the shower items and that I was responsible for paying for the transfer bench (*****). Please note I paid over $350 before any claims were submitted to my insurance. I was told I could be reimbursed once all of the claims and explanation of benefits (EoB) were processed. Therefore, I have been waiting for them to submit claims to my insurance. I have seen claims submitted to my insurance have processed and the claim for the left arm trough (*****) was rejected because it did not include authorization or certificate of medical necessity. I reached out to the rehab hospital, and they confirmed the medical necessity and referral was provided to AdaptHealth from them. I also have not yet seen a claim submitted for the transfer bench - the item that AdaptHealth told me to pay for as insurance companies don't normally pay for it. I have contacted AdaptHealth multiple times and received at least 3 reference #s where the representatives are trying to engage/escalate to the claims department. I have been told about the claims process could take 30 days but that is an AdaptHealth issue. The reason I say this is because I went to a medical provider on yesterday and they processed their claim the next day where I can see the EoB status via my insurance app. I need assistance with getting the claims submitted correctly for the left arm trough (***** - DOS: 8/25/23) and the transfer bench (***** - DOS: 8/24/23). I want a refund/reimbursement for what was paid out of pocket but was covered by insurance.Business Response

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because AdaptHealth is still submitting claims with missing information which creates denials. For example (attached), the claim for the transfer bench (***** - DOS: 08/24/2023) was submitted incorrectly which caused it to be denied by the insurance company due to "***: Appropriate modifiers are not submitted on the claim. Please submit a corrected claim with the correct DME modifiers." I have not yet received my follow-up call from the AdaptHealth escalations representative who mentioned she would be my point of contact. However, I left a voicemail message on her mailbox today. The left arm trough claim (***** - DOS: 8/25/2023) was processed successfully on 10/9/2023. As referenced earlier and attached as a screenshot, the claim for the transfer bench (***** - DOS: 08/24/2023) needs further attention by AdaptHealth's Claims to resubmit correctly. I am asking AdaptHealth to further assist to resolution. Thanks!

On, 11/15/23, I called *************** (******* East) to see if any claims have been submitted for the shower transfer bench (*****) after the denial on 10/5/23. As of today (11/15/23), the *************** representative stated a claim for the shower transfer bench (*****) with the correct DME modifiers has NOT yet been received. Please note the shower transfer bench (*****) is the last item that needs to be processed. This way we can see all that was covered by the insurance, and I can be refunded what I paid (out of pocket) before the insurance claims were ever submitted.Business Response
