On my last doctor appointment, on February 4, 2019. I was told that I needed to start using oxygen. My doctor told me that they would call into someone to supply me with the necessary equipment. On February 7, 2019, I received a message from Apria Healthcare telling me that they needed to speak to me. I returned their call and was told that another representative would be calling to set up delivery of the equipment. I received a call back later that day telling me that the items had shipped and I would be getting a delivery on Monday, February 11, 2019. I explained at that time, that I would be out of town at my daughter’s residence in Colorado that day and that I did not have phone service at that location Victor, Colorado. I gave him the number for my sister who lives in Goodland, Kansas (where I live) and asked him to call her to set up delivery.
They never contacted my sister as I had requested. I called the person that I had previously spoken to and he informed me that they would send the stuff back out and that they would be giving me a call when they sent it. This was on February 13.
I had not heard back as of February 15, so I called their main number and talked to another representative. I was transferred to a number and sat on hold for a fairly long time (over 10 minutes). The representative got back on the phone and apologized for me for having to wait so long and told me that someone would call me back.
Almost 5 minutes later, I received a call from the same guy that I had previously been speaking to. He informed me that they were out of whatever they were sending. I sat kind of dumbfounded and finally asked if I needed to call my doctor back. He said yes and that was the end of the conversation. This is so frustrating. I still do not have any clue as to what was being sent, what procedures Apria was to perform, why they would schedule something for a time that I would not be at home and why they never contacted my sister when they did not reach me. And after almost two weeks, I still do not have any oxygen! I feel that I received very poor communication and am not being treated as a customer should be. Not a very good business practice!

Received several calls today. The first one was to say they needed a face to face evaluation from my doctor but that they had already requested it and just wanted to let me know. 2nd call the guy told me I owed them $60 which was my 20% co insurance amount. I told him I wanted to call my insurance company and verify because I had another company who never mentioned any payment. 2 hours later some lady from Apria called me, told me that I hadn't met any of my deductible (not true I'm pregnant with twins and believe me I've been to the doctor more than a couple times already) and that I actually would have to pay 100% of the breast pump cost myself. Something seems extremely fishy. I won't be giving them any of my information.

Apria refunded my money yesterday, and are working with my new insurance to get me re-approved. I am so grateful to Casey for making this happen! She was very courteous and helpful. When I received the check in the mail, I was overjoyed!

Updated on 03/02/2019: The PR woman called me, promised to sent me a paper check with my money, never did, sent me a bill instead. So I received a bill for $948.81, which they ALREADY TOOK, instead of my refund check. VERY UNHAPPY. Never ordering supplies from them again. They are dishonest.
Updated on 02/19/2019: I have phoned several times. You still haven't given me back my money. It is terrible customer service to take almost $1,000.00 from someone on a budget with children still at home. Your response was, "It's the customer's responsibility to notify us of insurance changes." That's a cop-out. It is bad customer service to ** my checking account without any communication. You have my email and my phone number. You could have communicated and asked if I had new insurance, or if I wanted to make payments.
What kind of a company takes everything from a family, who now cannot pay their bills? Would it have killed you to send an email about the problem? Could you have handled it another way, than just taking everything and putting me $800 in the hole and in trouble with my bank? Do you ** all families and people on fixed incomes this way? Bad dog, Apria. I will never order anything from you again. I WANT MY MONEY BACK, NOW!!!
Original Review: Apria agreed to $8 monthly payments. Then 2 days ago they took $948.81 out of my bank account without my authorization! I don't owe that, especially not all at once, and they never even contacted me. They have my email address. They took all my bill money, plus cost me an overdraft fee with the bank, and now I am sitting in the negative. This is VERY BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE! I Will never use them again.

I have been dealing with Apria since 2011. Around 2016 I switched insurance providers (not the first to fall victim of this I see). And continued to order supplies etc. Suddenly I get multiple pulls on my bank account and credit cards. Repeatedly I would get collection agency letters (but no actual bill). Every time I would call to place an order, I would complete the order and then the rep would say I have a balance and so of course I would add that payment to my order and assume things are good.
Of course, if you are reading this, you know full well it never stops. Multiple times in 2016 & 2017 and I tried to place orders and the same "mystery" "unpaid" bill (of different amounts) would appear. I took care of it and after a while I notice a pattern. I stop buying anything from Apria after 2017. Despite that I got calls and bills for 2017. It got so bad they created me a NEW ACCOUNT with "DNU" (Do Not Use) in the middle.
Did that stop them billing me? Nope. I get a collection letter for BCBS 45.61 from 2016. So I call and take care of it. Is that over? Nope. Last week, $240 is taken from my connected credit card. No invoice, no debt letter. Just "thanks, we have your money now". Wow. I immediately disconnected the autopay and then called Apria today. Turns out it's... yet another unpaid bill from 2016. Same reason given, yet striking how different the amount is. I spoke to people there in billing and was assured repeatedly I will never be bothered by this behavior.
I cannot recommend this company and would strongly urge you to find an alternate provider. The only way to deal with Apria is to have a personal recorder playing during any interaction with Apria, so you have proof. The soothing words of the billing people mean nothing when a few months later they stab you for $240 in the middle of the night. If APRIA wants to reach out to me, (as I have seen below), please provide a means to actually reach you. like, an email or phone number that is not generic.

Oh where to start? I received a tens unit through my insurance through CareCentrix who got the equipment from this company. You sent a bill of over 1600.00 to my credit report because you said my insurance wouldn’t cover it anymore. After months of fighting with you, my insurance, and CareCentrix I finally got the help I needed yesterday. Turns out you never got a preauthorization from my insurance for the tens unit before sending it to me. Now you are trying to do balance billing which is illegal! I called again today and you are once again trying to put it under review which can take up to 45 days!!! This company is an absolute joke! I see an attorney in my very near future!!!

Called and was on hold for a while. Got a rep that I couldn't understand and had to ask this rep 7 TIMES to transfer me to someone that I could understand because his accent was so heavy. Unbelievable!!! So they transferred me to a US representative and I was holding for 15 minutes and when they finally answered it was another person who I couldn't understand. Apparently the first person I talked to never transferred me to a US rep but instead put me back in the queue line. Are you serious!!! This happens every time I call so I try not to call if I don't have to. You need to seriously improve your customer service or you will continue to lose customers. I will make sure that I tell everyone I know about my horrible experience. Don't bother replying as it is obvious to me by all of the horrible reviews that you have received, that you really don't care!!

My husband was diagnosed with sleep apnea in 2008. Apria was the company our insurance chose to go with for his equipment. After almost dealing with this company for 10 years, we decided to go elsewhere because we had moved and didn't have an Apria office close to us. We drove an hour and 1/2 away to return the equipment. And thought that was the end of it. NO. 6 months after we returned it, we started getting bills from them. When my husband called, they said they show no record of us returning our equipment. It's been over a year that we returned it now. We no longer have the receipt showing the return. So now what? We're supposed to pay for it the rest of our lives??? After 11 years, shouldn't it be paid off anyways? Seriously ridiculous! I will never recommend this company.

You will think the wheelchair is yours to keep, but upon looking at the contract you will see they are charging your insurance a ridiculous rental fee. If you change insurance you will be responsible for paying those rents. Get rid of it or get one online. Much cheaper and yours to keep as low as 100$ and you get it over with this big scam.

I was prescribed a wheelchair following a leg fracture that occurred June 2018. My insurance Aetna was billed every month since then. January 2019 our insurance changed but was still with Aetna. A week ago I got a call from someone overseas saying I had no insurance, I explained the change and gave him the new ID number. Today Saturday I checked my online account and Apria has debited $478. I was not informed of this and am very upset that this was done. I cannot contact anyone at my bank or the company until Monday. So the insurance has paid for 7-8 months and they want me to pay this??? I have read the other recent reviews and this company needs to get their act together fast. I am very upset and needed that money for other things, damn you can get a wheelchair at Walmart or on Amazon for $150. I want answers!!!

As a physician, I have had many complaints about Apria from patients over the years. Not until I became a patient, myself, did I see how bad this company really is. Phone calls go to India - poor understanding of language, culture and geography. Took me over 4 months to get correct supplies and many hours on the phone. When supplies did finally arrive they were the wrong ones. Many more hours on the phone and I received more of the wrong items. Impossible to get a hold of anyone in the US. Then, to make matters worse, I started to get collection calls (from India) over the billing that had already been paid. The only thing they did quickly was to bill my insurance company (again for supplies I had not received). I would strongly advise you to talk to your doctor or insurance company for another vendor. I know I am.

Be aware - they outsource all of their customer service overseas, the people I have been dealing with are either unable to comprehend simple English or just plain stupid. I think that is a criteria to work there. My husband was non compliant the first 3 months so Care Centrix stopped billing us and now Apria is billing us direct. Fine, no problem, called them for a payoff, they said NONE of the payments that I made to Care Centrix (over $500) would be applied towards the machine! Is this even legal? I'm returning the machine and buying it outright somewhere else so I never again have to deal with all the people involved with my husband to be able to sleep! This company needs to do a serious overhaul with their CS dept just like Comcast did a few years back, that was the top worst company to deal with. Now they are a lot better.

Unbelievable - would never do business with this company. I needed to order a CPAP machine in December and was told by my insurance company that it would be paid in full (my out of pocket for 2018 was met), as long as I use an in-network provider. I did a search for in-network providers and was given Apria Healthcare. I followed the link to their website from my insurance page and was directed to Apria.com. I called and spoke with a representative and was told that they didn't "deal with insurance" so I I would need to submit it to Aetna myself - not a problem since I knew that I would be reimbursed at 100%. She told me I could order over the phone or online. I was still on the Apria.com website with the Apria Healthcare logo and simply clicked on the "shop Apria Direct" tab to purchase my machine.
I then purchased my order and paid over $400.00. I received the machine, got the invoice and submitted to Aetna. Weeks later I was informed that it was NOT covered because it's "not in network". Today I spend over 90 minutes on the phone with Aetna, Apria Healthcare and Apria Direct. I was told that Apria HC and Direct are 2 separate entities and bill different from one rep. Then I was told that they are indeed one entity, but Apria Direct doesn't deal with insurance. All I know is I was under the understanding that Apria was Apria and that I would have to submit my invoice for reimbursement and be paid back at 100%. DID NOT HAPPEN and is NOT going to happen.
The people at Apria Direct were less than helpful and basically told me I could return the machine for a refund and then order a new machine through Apria Healthcare because they DO deal with insurance. How shady is it that as a member you think you ARE on Apria Healthcare site and then it redirects you to Apria Direct? I didn't even know Apria Direct existed... I literally thought the "Shop Apria Direct" mean I was shopping directly with Apria. NO explanation and even Aetna rep tried to explain over and over that it is VERY misleading. NEVER AGAIN! Why would I now return a machine, leave my husband without one and order another machine through Apria Healthcare so I can pay MORE with a new year and starting over with deductible. Beyond disgusted! Totally ripping people off!!!

My husband was referred to the Apria Roselle location by his doctor and because a participating provider of his insurance. During his appointment with respiratory therapist she rushed through the demonstration. She wouldn't let him ask question. Kept saying wait to the end. She gave him a mask and didn't let him see which worked best. She only turned machine on and off. Didn't wait a few minutes to see how he felt. She mentioned that we had thirty days. Then she said she had no time because she had another patient waiting. Needless to say my husband had problems right away. He felt congested, filled up with mucus and couldn't breathe right. I made several of them. Kept insisted these symptoms were impossible. Said to adjust humidity, ramp time and stated he wasn't giving enough time. I said he feels awful with it and can't leave on.
Finally spoke to his doctor who said symptoms indicated he was a mouth breather and needed full face mask. Called Apria and sent new mask. We had difficulty switching mask size as were given no instructions. Finally got it to work and it didn't work properly for him. Felt like sucking air. Called and spoke to therapist now. Said he needed a heated line and she would speak with us when we came in. At this point he had enough with this place and wanted to return machine before thirty days up. When we brought back said there was only thirty days to exchange mask. Not what we were told.
In addition we were told it would be $43.95 a month for ten months and tubing and mask separate. Now they say additional charge of $147 for humidifier which is built into CPAP. We insisted it wasn't right. Billing person spoke to someone. They said we had a choice they would remove humidifier from CPAP machine which was useless to me and then CPAP machine useless to them or they would speak to his insurance about how they billed it. So we said to look into charge. Haven't heard anything as I expected. They could adjust charges as he is responsible since his deductible isn't met. This is totally unfair. They didn't provide proper instructions, poor customer service and misrepresented return policy/cost. Another thing to note, The therapist said if we returned CPAP machine we would be back after my husband had a stroke. Unbelievable!

This is the worst company ever. We're being charged for stuff that we were told would be covered and was questionable if we even needed. It took them two weeks to deliver everything. Customer service reps could care less about resolving any issues. I was told there was nothing I could do. Pay the bill or let it go to collections. Really, a $22 dollar bill? OK, if that's your attitude. You can deal with that process instead of trying to correct this matter with the family. The worst part about this is they'll probably spends hundreds of dollars trying to collect the twenty and end up getting to write it all off. Talk about a screwed up system. No wonder they don't care about their customers.

Today I got a call from Apria healthcare. They said they were coming to pick 2 pieces of equipment. One from 2016 and one from 2018. I did not know what they were talking about so I called. They said the equipment was being rented from my insurance company and since my husband died on December 29 they had to pick it up. I not knowing it was being rented gave it to Goodwill along with lots of others things of his. Now they are saying I have to pay for new equipment and they will not take credit for what the insurance company paid. REALLY!!!
The man is died. You want to try and make me pay for something the insurance company already paid for. WHY would you do that. I have no money to pay them. Why would you treat people like that. I never got a Bill for this? I never knew it was being rented. So unfair. I will never use this company again and will tell everyone I know to find another company. I am going contact every website I know to let them how just mean and unfeeling this company is.

Updated on 02/13/2019: Yes I was contacted and no progress was made. Apria insists insurance will not cover a home and portable oxygen unit. They claim they are duplicate machines. This is untrue since my pulmonologist said the portable concentrator is pulse activated NOT continuous flow. I guess Apria has a medical degree too! Worst customer service, unwilling to help, they all read from a script.
Original Review: Apria has the worst customer service I have ever encountered, besides the wait time for an agent they are incompetent, asking for a supervisor is another joke, they are by far more incompetent than the service reps. This company is a nightmare, they lack communication and knowledge, I can’t even give them one star.

Every single time I order my oxygen refill, I get told I will get a call the morning of delivery. The first call (recording) says delivery between 9 am - 1 pm, then 2 hours later another call (recording) comes saying delivery is changed to 1-5 pm. Then around 4 pm the third call (recording) comes saying the delivery time is now between 8:30-9:30 pm and subject to change. You can’t talk to anyone and if you call, you are told there’s nothing they can do and delivery can go till 1 am.
This is ridiculous! I know Apria is based overseas, but do they not care about their customers? The drivers say they have no customer contact info, so they can’t call to advise they are even coming and when they get here, half the time they are missing some of the order. Apria knows they have their customers stuck because of rules regarding oxygen suppliers and Medicare. I think it’s time they get looked into since it’s obvious they do not have the patients' best interest at hand. And not all of us oxygen users are in our 60s or 70s, so we can speak up for those who have no voice. And...isn’t there a law regarding contact after 9 pm? After all, setting up an oxygen delivery is done days in advance so there should be no reason to constantly change times and push the delivery late into the evening.

Updated on 04/02/2019: I initially posted a review regarding the lack of customer service on February 5, 2019. It was resolved (so I thought) on February 11, 2019 when I spoke to Amanda who authorized a 20% discount if I would pay the balance due that day. She was also the first person that could fully explain why I was billed at the amount I was along with assuring me that payments made by my former health insurance company had been applied.
Unfortunately, there was a $55 balance that had been referred to a collection agency and she could not discount that. Therefore, I provided a credit card and paid an agreed upon amount of $570.49 plus $55. Amanda advised that she needed to put through 2 separate charges as the $55 would be forwarded to the collection agency. She then advised that once these went through, she would call me back. But if she got busy, I could call her specific customer service center at (866) 505-6365. Well, on February 28, 2019 I called the service center as I had NEVER heard back from Amanda. I spoke with Jeric ** and he confirmed that my account was at $0. I asked him to send me an email as confirmation - which he did.
So fast forward to one week ago... I received a phone call from the collection agency asking for my $55 payment. I explained to them that I paid Apria and she stated she would check on it. I spoke to their office today (April 1) and they haven't heard from Apria (surprise surprise) and asked if I could forward a copy of my credit card statement showing the payment. I guess I will do this if I want any type of resolution. AGAIN - APRIA REALLY HAS SHOWN HOW DISORGANIZED THEIR BUSINESS IS!!!
Original Review: I was prescribed a CPAP machine which was purchased from Apria on October 23, 2017. Apria began billing my group carrier - Anthem BC/BS. I was advised by Apria in an email that the agreement was to rent for 10 months and it would be paid in full. Anthem paid a total of 7 $55.00 payments and my coverage with them ended due to my COBRA coverage ending. Immediately, I began to receive statements asking for payment of over $750.00. When I called, I was advised that a new machine would be billed at $629. I then asked what happened to the $385 paid to them by Anthem. The Customer Service Rep stated that Apria just gets to keep that money and I start over. So in essence, I'm paying double for a machine.
I have emailed the customer resolution department in TN and they advised me that since they are out of network with my new coverage, a claim will not be sent to them. I need this claim filed so that I can appeal it with my new carrier. While it's no guarantee that any payments would be made, I may be able to get 3 rental payments made - which would then total the 10 I was told would be needed.

This company does not and will not provide a local contact for direct support questions or assistance. After picking up the BiPAP machine for my wife, we had problems adjusting the full face mask the Dr. ordered. Instead of giving us help with the ordered mask, they shifted my wife to a nasal mask. They put the mask on her but never ran the machine (which I brought) so we were startled by the noise the nasal mask made. The doctor ordered a reduction in the pressures to help her adjust to wearing the mask.
Apria called and said that when the received the order they would let us know. I told them at that time we needed help adjusting the full mask the doctor ordered and they said I would be contacted. We were never contacted and now the Medicare dictated wear-it-or-lose-it period has expired so she will have to do without treatment for her severe obstructive and severe central apnea. All because local contact is forbidden by company policy. They refuse to appoint a local pulmonary therapist as a case manager. Thank you Apria.

My father has been dependent on Oxygen for a few years now and we've been annoyed with Apria since day ONE, mainly because delivery appointments are rarely kept, they are often missed, not just once, but multiple times. My father can be waiting up to 2 weeks for a delivery that should have happened 2-3 times. That is completely unprofessional, seeming that someone has to be home for the delivery people are arranging their lives for these deliveries.
My father is generally home, BUT he does have Dr. appointments often due to his health, so these delivery appointments are made around his medical appointments, so when a delivery appointment is missed, it creates an inconvenience and sometimes stressful situation because we're left trying to figure out a schedule for who can be home for the delivery, ONLY for the delivery to be a NO SHOW AGAIN. What makes all this even more annoying is that calling Apria Customer Service is a JOKE. They need to add an option for "delivery no shows" for one, but overall, the experience of calling Apria is horrible.
Just this morning I spent a full 50 minutes on a call just being bounced around from one person to the next and being sent into automated messaging hell. By the 5th time of being transferred into a full circle, I demanded to speak to an actual person. There is NO WAY a phone call to find out why 2 deliveries were no shows and when my ill father's oxygen tanks will actually be delivered should take a 50 min phone call and at that I still did NOT get the information I needed. I ended up having to hang up while on hold because I had an appointment myself to get to.
I am appalled at the level of customer service this company has and why they are still in business in the first place is beyond me. I will definitely be calling my father's insurance company to see who else we can use, because this is gross. An ill person should not have to deal with the stresses of getting their medical supplies. Apria should be making sick lives easier, NOT harder.

This company is SOOO bad with customer service, unreliable deliveries, picking up DME (after I was told it was only a rental...never knew my $20 TENS unit was a rental.) (Hard to return something without a place to send it, a number to call or knowledge it was a rental.) They have scheduled the pick up for Tuesday and still on Friday...no one has come by!!! They charge outrageous fees (contractual with insurance companies). My TENS unit (mind you, the VERY EXACT same one) is $16.95 on the internet! Why then, do I not know it's a rental that you will charge my insurance company $28.00 a month for 10 months???
POOR POOR customer service, just pass the buck!!! What if I had donated this TENS unit when I was finished with it??? Guess I would have been charged for the balance, since I changed insurance companies Jan 1st! My advice is...stay away from this company!!! From other reviews I have since read, this is a nationwide problem with this company!! I'm in Central Florida!!! I don't know how they are still in business!!!

I had a CPAP machine from them, that was not functioning to my benefit. I tried multiple times to contact a customer service rep to help and could never get anyone on the line and left on hold forever. I returned the unit and cancelled my service. They contacted me 2 months later, saying that I have an open bill of $49. I paid them, just to get them out of my life. It is now 7 months later and they are trying to collect another $28 from me, saying that I still owe them money from March 2017. This is a scam company and I would never recommend them to anyone or trust a referral to their company. They are completely unorganized and a fraud.

I have had Apria just over a year and everything was fine for the first 6 1/2 months. In June 2018 I get a bill stating I owed 2 months payments of 33.64... I called BILLING and spoke to someone I could barely understand... The number I have is SUPPOSED to be the Minster, Ohio office but when I follow the menu I get someone in Indonesia or some overseas company that barely speak English and you have to KEEP repeating to them or asking them what they said... Long story short I paid my bill and there was a rate increase I was never notified of... My original bill was 24.81 per month went to $33.64 per month. They are claiming I OWE 2 months @ $33.68 per month... I paid what I thought was my bill of 24.81 so the way I figure I owe 2 months difference between $33.64 and $24.81 which is 2 months @ $8.83 not 2 months @ $33.64. You are the worse company I have ever dealt with... And I WAS in Customer Service for 30 years.

My doctor put in an order for CPAP machine and supplies on 1/9/19, today's is 1/29/19 and I still haven't received it. I have never received such poor customer service from any company as I have with Apria. Reps are hard to understand, they call me and say machine is ready to be delivered, they are all overseas, they keep saying, "Oh this one" as though we are talking about multiple orders and do not have any compassion for their patients. I have been lied to over and over again. I was promised an email of a contract I needed to electronically sign and send back before they could deliver machine.
I never received it, it was excuse after excuse and I am really frustrated in trying to get the CPAP and supplies delivered. I ask what the status is of my machine and can't ever get any information, only excuses. About the email she tried to run by me a bunch of excuses, and I said, "You simply mean nothing has been done right," she finally broke down and said yes.
I called back and canceled my doctor's order, I cant take Apria anymore, I will go somewhere else for the equipment I need. The reps won't let you speak to a supervisor, they don't know the number to corporate, they didn't know when my contract would be sent to me although yesterday the man say look out for it that day.

I have been attempting to order a CPAP machine, and I have never been so appalled in all my life. "Customer Service" is the worst I've ever experienced. Reps call me 3 times a week and ask for a return call. When I call back, they ask why I have called. I say "I don't know. You called me." Then they ask for my address and date of birth and then mumble and stammer things that no one could ever understand. Sometimes a call with them will end and a few minutes later I get another call from someone else, again to verify the information I just gave someone else. I ask what the status is of my machine and can't get any information.
Sometimes they think I already have the machine. This has been going on for weeks. Now it's questions about insurance and no one can tell me what the process is, how long it will take, how much I have to pay, whether or not I have to also buy supplies, etc. One person tells me I have to contact my insurance company to verify something or other (Did I mention the mumbling?) then someone else will tell me that I don't have to do that because it's already done. Now they want my credit card information. I don't think so!
I now know that there are other companies through which I can get a machine, and I'm so relieved! To Apria - Instead of commenting on my review for me to contact you about my complaint, listen to those "recorded lines" and hear it for yourself. All of these reviews say the same thing. Read these reviews for understanding and then do something besides asking people to contact you.

Apria is by far the worse company I have ever dealt with in my entire life. They have had numerous billing errors with my insurance company over the years and you can never connect to a representative in the US without being placed on hold for almost an hour each time. I had finally decided I had enough and told my doctor to switch medical supply providers. Apria continued to send me medical supplies I had NOT ordered and I was NOT on some auto fill plan either. They fraudulently charged my insurance company as well. After attempting today to resolve the issue one more time and spending another 1 hour plus on hold with various reps in the Philippines, I simply said screw them and threw my bill in the trash.

DO NOT give this company your debit or credit card number for anything. We had meet our out of pocket max with our insurance. I told them this day one but they would not deliver oxygen without a card on file. I told them not to bill my card, well they charged us. Then they did not post the entire payment with my insurance. Apria billed my card on 10/19/18. The charge was posted to my account on 10/27/18. Claim was sent to insurance on 11/27 with notation I paid $3.80 when they actually charged me $32.53. Insurance claim showed patient responsibility $0.00. My insurance returned the $3.80 to us. I called Apria at this time and told them we did not owe them. They needed to refund us since we meet our out of pocket. They say they needed to review with Blue Cross. Then on 12/18 we received a paper bill that we owed $6.76.
We paid this since Apria called us twice and my husband was having issues and I did not have time to deal with it. Let us jump to 1/20/19. We received 6 EOB statements reflecting patient responsibility was $0.00. Apria bill my credit card on 12/31/18 $29.66, 1/1/19 $25.86 and then again on 1/21/19 $25.86. I called billing and was told by “7” Apria employees this was my 20% co-insurance. I explained to each we had meet our out of pocket. They would not listen. Then we had a conference call with my insurance company and three different Apria employees, they still insisted I owed this. After 14 hrs, talking with 10 Apria employees and two conference calls with my insurance company they finally allowed us to speak to claims. This employee told my insurance that I had made no payments. However I had gotten an itemized bill from them the day before reflecting my payments.
Then she said I would be responsible for the 2019 billing. I asked why? 'It is a new year!!' Well my insurance year is from June 1, 2018 to May 31, 2019. EOBs sent to them reflecting zero patient responsibility for 2019 also. Just an FYI I had told Apria three times that they were not to bill my credit card and to remove this from the account, it took me having to talk with four people to get it removed, how do I know this because with my calls they would tell me I had a card on file that my 20% responsibility was being charged.

This is the most incompetent company I have ever had to work with.

Even though my insurance covered the pump at 100% I was still forced to give them my credit card info for the order and had to fight to choose my own brand of pump.
After a week of unusual silence from them I called to check the status of my order and found out they have no absolute record of me at all. NOTHING. So here I am 5 weeks from delivery and no breast pump order after dealing with them for 2-3 weeks. Who knows if I was even talking to the real Apria in the first place.

Weeks later, I hadn't received my money, so I called. They never processed a refund, they put it as a credit to my balance. That was NOT what we had agreed upon.

It did not arrive until the following morning at 6:30 a.m., May 9. I used the device for four weeks and returned it in good condition.

Never called or emailed me for more information.
Finally, on October 13, Apria charged my credit card for $955. I immediately called for an explanation. A person with poor English answered and said I had signed a document allowing them to charge my card, so that's what they did. It is now January 21, 2019, and with the help of some medical professionals, Humana finally paid Apria the $955 on 12/14/18. But has Apria refunded my money?? NOO!

Hi everyone! If your CPAP supplies come from Apria, I would suggest running. I had a prescription for CPAP supplies called in by my doctor on Dec. 20, 2018. They never arrived so I called Apria about two weeks later and was told that my account was put on hold for the rental fee of $16.50. The due date for the $16.50 was January 15, about two weeks in the future. The statement date was December 25, 5 days AFTER my prescription was called in. I finally got the bill so paid it on or around Jan 10. I made the mistake of assuming that my account would be taken off of hold and the supplies sent.
I called again today (Jan 21) because they still had not arrived. I was told that I needed to pay $33.00 before the supplies would be sent out. I never received a bill, phone call, text, smoke signal or candygram letting me know that I needed to pay this amount prior to shipping. I had no idea. I requested a bill be sent and was told that they could not do that. I was speaking with the billing department. THE BILLING DEPARTMENT. They suggested giving them a credit card but I am reluctant to give such an irresponsible company my credit card information over the phone and told them that; their solution was for me to give them my bank account information. I thought they were joking but unfortunately they were not. Do yourself a favor and find another supplier.

I was using a CPAP machine that was rented to me on a monthly basis following a prescription from my doctor. Apria billed for a month or two and then immediately billed for full payment.

Every time I called Apria it was escalated to a supervisor who NEVER called me back!!! Meanwhile the bills kept showing up... Finally I reached a billing person at Blue Cross and when he looked at the bills he was astonished. We conferenced on Apria and as usual they did not have a clue. Thank you to Blue Cross for their diligence in forcing Apria to correct their billing which they finally did. I thought we were finally done and I have told everyone I know NOT to use Apria for any supplies. Surprise - I just received a collection notice for various past due amounts over the past 2 years totaling 110.00... Apria how can I owe you anything??? I have spoken to Blue Cross and your collection department and they agreed to place this collection on hold until Apria can substantiate and show the bills.
It seem that in the Health Care world any company can submit a bill, legitimately or erroneously and demand payment. This is exactly why our health care system is in such crisis. If I were a older person I would have not remembered the details and just paid this collection. I assume that is what Apria is hoping for.

So when I went to correct it they said the bill was $5100. At this point I wanted to cut ties and I quickly gave back the machine and purchased another machine for $238 elsewhere which is newer and works great. I am going to have to claw my way out of this contract. The bad news is their customer service may not get the greatest reviews but the good news is their billing department is on point.

This problem occurred because I used automatic payments from my credit card and they could not get my wife’s insurance info. correct. Once I figured this out, I refused to pay them for their equipment they supplied in early 2018 until they resolved the 2017 accounting problems. Apria sent us to collections. I then paid Apria for the 2018 equipment minus the $54.41 they overcharged us in 2017. I also sent the collection agency and copied Apria a letter detailing the overcharges. I expected a response from them but nothing.
Apria did send me a dump of my wife’s account from their data base. However, I cannot figure out where the error is and a lot of the numbers do not match what I have. In September 2018 my wife needed some additional equipment and a test. Her Doctor set the orders to Apria. In late November I contacted the local Apria branch office and asked them to look into why we had not received the equipment or the test. The woman I talked to did send the test but they refused to send the equipment because we had not paid the $54.41. I informed them that I had paid the $54.41 and she should read my letter. I contacted her several times and she also talked to her contact in Apria billing.
The result was that we still owed Apria the $54.41. However the woman at the branch office said that she did not have the credit card receipts for 2017. So Just before Christmas I faxed them to her. I have tried to contact her every working day since then and have not been able to get her on the phone. The call just goes to someone else’s phone mail. I have also tried the local branch office’s number and it just rings 10 times and hangs up on me. My advice is if you have the ability to use another DME provider use them AND DO NOT USE APRIA! IT IS JUST TOO STRESSFUL!

I've been on an APAP since 2013 and my doctor's office informed me they could order me a new machine if I wanted. Nothing wrong with my old one, but I figured it's good to have a backup. I didn't specify a vendor so the clinic sent it to Apria. I received the 'new' machine as a rental or rent to own in September and only recently discovered that it has almost 3,000 hours of use on it. I've only put on a couple hundred, myself. I've contact my insurance and I plan on returning the machine and having my doc send the prescription elsewhere. This is one of those situations where it being a rental may come in handy.

I am a repeat Apria customer, without prior difficulties with the company. But I never had to call customer service for assistance. I placed two orders recently. I never received a tracking number for either item, even after calling numerous times. The second order arrived, but only one of two items were received. I called CS to advise them about the problem. We are going away so time is of the essence. I was told the missing item would ship expeditiously (?) and it would go by air shipment. I called back today, and was told they have no indication of shipment, and air shipment was not a possibility. Asked to speak to a supervisor, but was told no one was available. "In a meeting." Don't know who to talk with to get information and satisfaction. They seem to have competent people taking orders, but it stops there. I wouldn't deal with them again, but they are the vendor for Kaiser, of which we are members.

They bill insurance so they think they need to do nothing to prove their worth. I was referred by my Pulmonary specialist. I got a unit that I gave $200 down then was billed $70 per month for 6 months. A little research showed that the unit was worth retail about $350, so for 6 months I had paid $620 for a $350 unit. I returned the unit in October 2017 and purchased a used unit online for $150, that has functioned fine since.
I was then billed another $65 for "supplies you picked up in June of last year" in the following year. I paid it, glad to be out of their grasp. In December 2018, I got another bill for $75.00 with "imagine that" now explanation. I disputed the bill, and was "immediately" sent to collections. ONE BILL!!! I am 60 years old and basically debt free. I will fight this bill and collection (if I ever really receive a bill) to the death. I would not buy a roll of toilet paper from these people as I don't think they have the integrity to provide such an important product, they obviously do not have a handle on what they do "provide."

2 years in a row they have sent me the wrong CPAP Mask. They tell you someone will call with instructions on return and it never happens. UPS will just show up at your door with no warning. Noticed my Medicare insurance was charged both times and never saw a refund. I'm contacting Medicare. Talked to at least 8 different employees and just kept sending me in circles. They lied and said it would be here in 5 days numerous times. It was in transit but no tracking number. Insisted on tracking number, waited forever, told backlog at manufacture in California, hadn't even been shipped! Said I would get it soon.
Again, 3-4 weeks later, called today and admitted error. They will ship rush. I have asked to talk to someone in authority. I would want to know if my company was run this poorly. I was cut off from chat several times also. It is apparent certain depts do all they can so management is not aware of their incompetence and lack of ability to resolve a problem. Will not transfer you for a resolution or give you a name or address for a complaint. Will see how many days it takes from today's call. Told me I could lodge a complaint online, but did not find where on site. Go with a local company if you have a need, maybe they can resolve a problem if it arises.

My doctor's office had to switch me to Apria for my CPAP supplies due to me having Medicare as a secondary insurance. I was very nervous about the switch because I've been reading negative reviews. Keep reading... My experience with them has been great, however. Every resupply order for my CPAP masks, hoses and filters has arrived on time and has been accurate and they took care of working with the insurance company and Medicare. I only had one problem, the customer service person was soft-spoken and I had to ask him to repeat himself. Other than that my experience has been 100 percent positive so far. Every person's experience is unique, but mine has been positive. :)

I have dealt with this company for ten years for my sleep apnea supplies. The first six years, I’d call, place order, and my equipment was delivered the next day. I’d receive a bill in a few weeks for the balance that insurance didn’t cover and that was that, the end. For the past four years, it’s been a total nightmare. Ordering is a process which takes me having my SC BCBS do a three-way call twice each year to listen in and straighten out their inept phone customer service reps' lack of information and weeks to receive supplies. They (the customer service reps) seem to be trained to elude your every concern even though they are looking at the computer screen and see what you are telling them as correct. It took me two months and roughly 7 calls to receive my complete order this, my tenth and FINAL year.
They charged my credit card the incorrect amount, which I was telling them was incorrect the entire time BEFORE they would ship my supplies. I feel I was held hostage to paying them what they said, or I wouldn’t receive my desperately needed supplies. Now, my BCBS EO Benefits states that the amount that Apria charged me is $32.60 more than the amount we owe, which I already knew. We have filed a dispute with my credit card company, the SC Insurance Commissioner’s office, and SC BCB Shield. I am going to also file a complaint with the BBB on Monday. Although, SC BCBS has advocated for us in dealing with Apria for the past four years, it’s a shame that the insurance company has to get involved for a company to ship your potentially life threatening, required supplies. If you read through these customer complaints, you can see for yourself that they are not a reputable company.
I would advise you to find ANY OTHER COMPANY for your services. I feel that the treatment I’ve received is due in part to the fact that my insurance company will pay for a new sleep study once every ten years. So, once you sign on with Apria for your supplies, they understand that you have to undergo a lot of unnecessary wrangling to switch companies, including possibly having to pay for another sleep study out of your own pocket, which is expensive. They then have you trapped. They seem to think that you receiving your supplies is unimportant, as if you are ordering birthday gifts, etc.
This is a serious matter. I feel sorry for the elderly, etc, who may not have access to their online insurance info and the knowledge of what is and is not covered, etc. They are the ones potentially in a serious predicament if they choose this poorly managed company. AND, I couldn’t post this until I gave them one star. I otherwise would have given them a zero.

Apria does not even deserve one star, but one can't submit a review here without a star rating. They provide statements and contracts that make little sense. Things don't add up. I was told I would be billed a certain amount for 10 months - in addition to the payment I made when I picked up my BIPAP machine and the money this company got from my insurance company. They have billed me beyond those 10 monthly payments, and I can't figure out what is going on. The statements they provide don't include the actual amounts of the payments I've made in many cases. I have been unable to reach a live person or log into their terrible website even though I'm registered and have an account - it keeps telling me I'm locked out and I can't get through to someone to help me.
I've had a very hard time figuring out what I actually owe. They've left me many recorded messages that I've been unable to respond to because I can't get through to anyone when I try. They sent me to collections and I'm in the process of paying this off now just to get out of this mess, even though I'm not sure I owe what they're collecting. It all seems wrong and fraudulent. They did the same things to my husband. I'm going to contact my state attorney general's office to file a complaint. I'd encourage anyone else who's had difficulty with this company to do the same.

I had to deal with this company from 2009 when I had my sleep studies to 2016. Every review you see on here is perfectly true. I once took my CPAP to a local Apria office to ask why the settings did not seem right. I had had to trade in my old machine for a new one. The lady told me that the settings were correct per my prescription. I asked to see the prescription. She showed me what had been scanned into my file. It was somebody else’s!!! They had used somebody else’s settings!! Another major issue was that they kept billing me up to 2016. It was sporadic.
I finally had to come to a concrete conclusion with them in writing. The last lady recorded in their system that the last payment was indeed the last payment. I still have this information with me in case I get a bill. Listen. Use another company. Heed all these reviews. They are all true. In Decatur I had no choice but to use them.

My experience would take longer than I can write all of the details here. My primary care physician and my ENT offices both have told me terrible stories about Apria and they would never recommend this company. But unfortunately I had to use them for my insurance. I have had nothing but problems with Apria. I have made over 45 phone calls in three months to try resolve problems. For billing I gave them my credit card for a rental. I was forced to do by my insurance company and for supplies. For the initial order I had a duplicate billing and items were missing from the box. I have spent hours on the phone talking to various Representatives. Some don't speak very good English. Others will tell you erroneous information that conflicts with the information from the next person you talk to.
I don't know if they just don't understand or they get frustrated and just want to get off the phone with people by transferring you to someone else. They refuse to let you speak to a supervisor or someone who can audit your account. I had one item for nasal pillows that I was triple billed for. I had many surprises on my credit card statement and no one at Apria could tell me what they were for or how the account matched up with the credit card statements. In November I was to receive a refund. My December statement came with no refund but additional charges with nothing received. I've contacted my insurance company and my credit card company to try to get help to resolve this situation. I've had them remove my credit card from their system.
I was told I would get statements for future billings and that hasn't happened. And I contacted them today. They had closed the account and reopened it. They gave me a partial credit for what I was due. Unfortunately I feel lucky to get even half of what I should be getting back. This is the most frustrating company I have ever dealt with. I have other companies I called once and get it resolved. One set of billing problems I spoke with seven different people and took over 2 hours and still no resolution...only partial refund that took over 2 months to get.

The week before Christmas, my mother (81 years old) ordered a concentrated oxygen tank to be delivered to my sister's house so that she could spend Christmas Eve with her family and still get her treatment.

We confirmed the address and was told the oxygen would be delivered. I even asked if we should take one of the tanks from her home but was assured the delivery would take place. That was at 4:00 PM. I called again at 8:00 PM and was told by Sarah (who talked with logistics) that the delivery was still going to take place.
I called again at shortly before 10:00 PM and was told the delivery would be at 1:00 AM on the 25th. I was furious and asked to speak with the manager because I was getting the runaround and was told the manager, Shawn, was on the other line and would call me back in 15 minutes. I waited 20 minutes and called back at 10:20 PM. The person did not seem to know who Shawn was but then told me Shawn would call back. He transferred me to someone in logistics and the person there told me the driver was currently at a stop and that I was 3rd in line.

Let me preface this with the fact that I've never written a bad review on **, but this is ridiculous! If I could give negative stars, I would! Short version: My son was diagnosed with Pneumonia and required a nebulizer. My insurance was accepted by Apria and the doctor requested the order from there to get us the nebulizer as quickly as possible. After 3 calls to Apria about when we could expect this and their repeated response of it would be the same day and that someone would call, they finally told us that they had not called our insurance company in time to get the necessary information to get the nebulizer delivered. My 2 year old son was sitting at home, miserable, with pneumonia! Do NOT use this company.
*More information.* My wife called at 10 AM to check on the order of the nebulizer, the agent told her someone would call. 1 PM, my wife calls to check on the order, the agent told her someone would call. 3 PM, my wife calls to check on the order. The agent told her someone would call. 6PM, my wife calls again and is told no one had contacted our insurance and that we could expect the nebulizer the following day. I call directly after and inquire why this hasn't been taken care of, and they escalate the ticket to highest priority. Meanwhile, my wife in on the phone with our doctor and a nurse practitioner to have a prescription for a nebulizer sent to a Walgreens near our home. They get the proper information, send the prescription, and my wife picks it up at 8:30 PM the same day.
From 10AM-6PM, nothing was done by Apria! NOTHING! Between 6 PM and 8:30 PM, we do the job Apria could not and get a prescription sent to Walgreens, pay out of pocket (insurance not accepted at Walgreens), and finally get my son the treatment and medication he needs. Additionally, my wife calls Apria this morning at 10:30 AM (still have not heard from Apria; 24 hours of no contact or update on when the nebulizer order would be processed and delivered) to cancel the order. The agent was real quick to cancel that order.
Do NOT use this business. I am SO mad at this company. A 2 year old with pneumonia is not a simple thing or something that can wait. This should have been a high priority form the very beginning and Apria did not care enough to help a child in need. I thank God for my wife's persistence, the doctor and nurse practitioner that were so kind and caring to help, and to ** for allowing me to try to save other families the anxiety that came from dealing with this atrocious company while my poor son sat in misery for 10.5 hours.

In September 2017 I received a new BIPAP machine and mask with hose. I received the bill after my well known and highly reviewed Insurance company mailed an EOB (explanation of benefits) letter outlining my share of the cost. Initially, Apria sent me a much lower bill, but the bill I'm referring to above was their final bill which was significantly higher. I contacted Apria and my Insurance company about the confusing billings and after months and literally hours and hours on the phone with various Apria employees, I was given the correct total and final amount I owed Apria and agreed upon by my insurance company.
In addition, I was offered a 25% discount (well over $200 off) if I immediately provided a credit card number that same day to pay Apria. I declined because after being a customer of Apria for over 25+ years and experiencing sheer H_ll and frustration with them over everything; in addition to reading all the nightmare billing reviews for years regarding illicit credit card charges, refusing to refund their confirmed errors in favor of in-house credits towards future purchases, I opted to send them a check for the full amount owed. I was willing to lose money in order to not be trapped in their hellish system of frustration, pain and agony.
Fast forward to December 2018, I receive a bill from Apria for the original mask and hose supplies I picked up the new BiPAP machine in 09/2017 purchased and paid for in full with verified billings and checks!! Just to be sure, I pulled out my filed Apria billing statements and cleared check statements and confirmed that I paid for the supplies I received with my new BIPAP machine in full!! Upon further research I find a much later bill that they show among other debits/credits that my payments for the exact supplies I'm now being double billed were "misapplied payments", but I owe nothing. In addition, I have the later final Apria and Insurance Provider mutually agreed bill and higher amount bill and my cleared check confirming full payment.
I have NOT ordered ANYTHING from APRIA since 09/2017 since the day I received a new BiPAP machine, mask and hose!! Nothing, nada, zero!!! I have not received a bill from Apria stating I was delinquent or owed them money until this month when they sent me a bill saying I've owed them since 09/2017 for the same supplies I received in their local office when I picked up the new machine!! I have paid them already!! Apria is a fraudulent corporation that is double billing!!! They are crooked and immoral. We must now band together and contact our states Attorney General, Insurance Commissioner, Congressional Representatives, and a good Consumer Protection attorney.
On top of all this within the last two months I received a collection notice for less than $30 tied to Apria! Totally Bogus! Apria hadn't even billed me for the amount the Collection Agency stated I owed..ever, never! I had to send that Texas based Collection Agency a certified letter with copies of relevant billings and payments to prove this was incorrect. Two weeks later they responded and corroborated that I OWED Apria nothing and that the Credit Reporting Agencies would be notified. What?! How could Apria send a bogus amount to a collection agency without even billing me?!! I told the collection agency if my credit is in anyway damaged because of this fraudulent company, I will sue everybody!! I'm tired of Apria and hate hearing their name!
Run from this company, don't walk! Order supplies online from other suppliers because they do exist and have brand new certified equipment without all the headache. After 25+ years plus with Apria, I'm finished. They aren't the same company they were 25+ years ago. They are running a scam and we must expose and stop them. They are a straight Mafia organization! Pure Gangsters!! They would rob Santa if they could catch him!

Right up there- splitting hairs at this point. My sleep condition doctor's staff stated they were 1 of 4 vendors covered under my insurance for a CPAP device. First, you can't talk to a local rep-all inquiries are directed to their offshore in the Philippines location where all of the reps BARELY speak any English whatsoever. Unbelievably troublesome. All I wanted was a quote. That took forever for this person to understand. Finally, a day later I was e-mailed a quote. I reviewed it but DID NOT SIGN FOR ANYTHING.
Lo and behold, about a week or so later a box arrived from them with CPAP equipment. WTF?! This set off about 2-3 months of non-stop calls to them and the local office manager (who never returned my calls BTW even I was told he would and I had his name) as well as figuring out how to dial into their system in the US by posing as a doctor in order to get a live American on the phone. They kept billing my insurance so I had to call my carrier about it to get the claims denied. It took over a month for them to come and pick up the box-and this was after they RUDELY sent me a message that said I had to be home all day on a Thursday to be able to sign to give it back even though I never ordered it!
I was able to again waste my personal time and reach a US contact who arranged a local pick up the evening on a Wed. Then, GET THIS, two days later at the end of the business day on a Friday, another truck of theirs showed up to pick it up even though they had already gotten it back! Unreal. Frankly, this company is a organized crime enterprise that rips off insurance companies and their policy holders-management needs to be Federally prosecuted for ongoing fraud and ultimately jailed and the company put out of business.

I'd highly recommend consumers choose any other company to provide their needed medical equipment. My mother was supposed to receive portable oxygen since April 2018 but we never knew about it and Apria didn't bother to fulfill the order. Fast forward to December and my mom is in the hospital and we ask about portable oxygen and that's when we find out she should have had it. Requested a smaller tank and kit to refill it; still waiting on that. My mom receives a call regarding a delivery but since her memory isn't that great I call to confirm - no one in their Philippines call center can tell me what the status is but, "Oh by the way please tell her doctor to complete the forms we've been waiting for."

On Saturday, 12/8/18, Apria withdrew $723.00 from my checking account. When I called to ask why, they stated the insurance company was taking too long to pay. (I was also told they don't issue invoices to their clients). When I called the insurance company they stated that they paid all the invoices they had on file. They provided me with dates/check numbers/claim numbers/etc. My insurance company indicated they had just received the November invoice and that it was in the process of being paid. Mike at Apria said they spoke with Cindy at my insurance company, on December 7th, and asked about the 10/20 invoice and was told the invoice was pending review. At that point Apria decided to withdraw $723 from my checking account because they were unwilling to wait any longer for what they considered an overdue invoice.
There is nothing here to indicate the payment would be delayed or that Apria shouldn’t expect payment. Also, I don’t have any financial responsibility as I have met my out of pocket deductible for the year. There is no reason for Apria charge my checking account. When asked for a refund, I was told it would be 2-3 weeks before they could do anything and that if Apria felt a refund was due a client, it would only refund as a credit toward future expenses. When I asked to speak to a supervisor and was told they were unavailable. I gave my phone number and have not yet heard from them. I call twice in two days. And again I was told they were unavailable. It's been over a week and no one from Apria has called me to discuss this. My insurance company contacted Apria and was told on two separate occasions that Apria would not refund my money.
I am contacting the Colorado State Attorney General's office to file a formal complaint. According to the Apria website I can't return the ASV (bi-PAP) machine to get out of the contract. I think Apria took this money because they receive less than the contract amount from the insurance (due to negotiated payments) company and now they will have a couple of months in place when the year changes over and I am again responsible for payment. Apria stole this money out of my account and basically told me too bad, so sad.

I have paid my bill every when I received it. Received nasty phone call that I missed a payment. Check all my canceled checks and made a payment every month on time. I called to explain that I had not missed a payment. Ended up talking to some person who could hardly speak English. Guess they send their work to other countries instead of keeping it here.
Said they would let go to collections if I didn't pay. Didn't even want to see my canceled checks. I told him if that's the way they operate I'll send him the Christmas bonus and to send someone to get their junk out my house or it's going out in the front yard. Somebody will be here today to pick it up. To all that are thinking of going with Apria Healthcare don't. There are plenty of good companies out there where you can speak with someone who speaks English and willing to work with you if you have a problem. I have already gave my review to the Better Business Bureau in hopes to save people some problems.

Dealing with Apria has been a nightmare from the start. The person who leaves the messages is unintelligible. It would seem like an important part of leaving a message would be the ability to communicate in an understandable manner. I had three different people trying to help me decipher what was said, to no avail. This was on more than one message. This has played out over a four week period of trying to get my CPAP machine delivered. Two weeks ago, "oh we had wrong insurance number".
Today, "we need to see the sleep study results." When I asked "the doctor obviously ordered the CPAP through you. Why wouldn't you have asked him for what you needed?" No response. So now I get to contact the Doctor. Finally, I was only able to contact Apria by calling customer service from the website. This was due to the fact that the person who left me the message to call them left this number - 888 264-774. And you guessed it, that number is one digit short. Good times.

I ordered C-Pap supplies from this company in August. On October 20 they billed me for 172.20 because my deductible wasn't met. They didn't send me a bill or nothing saying they would take the money from my checking account. That was two months later. That takes us to today 12/18/18. I check my checking account today and they took another 67.85. I called them and asked them why and they said I still had a balance due. I asked them why they didn't send me a bill or a statement saying I still owe them. Their reply was, "We don't do that here." That since I was set up with auto pay that they don't send statements out. I asked how they justify this and their answer was, "We just don't do it." I will never purchase another thing off of these crooks. I feel sorry for that elderly person living on a fixed income.

I would give 0 stars if that was an option. First of all, the billing office does not submit claims within timely filing, they bill the patient for their mistakes, they take your money when is it not owed to them then will not refund it. We have been back and forth with Apria for over 10 months and given the runaround so many times. I just learned today the VP of Revenue Cycle denied our refund - yep the corruption starts at the top and flows downhill. Perhaps if the VP spent time training or hiring staff that understands medical billing and best practices rather than denying people refunds owed to them then their reviews might be a little better.

First let me start off by saying that I would give 0 stars if I was able to. I have had multiple issues with Apria taking money from my account. Back on 11/12/18, I asked for my bank account information to be taken off file due to an unauthorized transaction of $160.16. At that moment, I was advised that my account information would be removed, and that the transaction would be reversed back to me. A whole month later, I still don't have my money and even after being told that my account information had been removed, I have another unauthorized transaction for $74.28 that was taken from my account on 12/15/18. I was advised that this was stealing since no one notified me.of this transaction, and I asked for my card information to be removed. The customer service representative that I initially spoke to about the first unauthorized transaction was rude. I'm anxious to hear what they are going to say this time.

I have been ordering CPAP supplies from Apria for years simply because I don’t know where else to get them. The customer service and knowledge of associates is severely lacking at times. What should be a simple phone call can take over an hour. For instance I was supplied with masks that were not the correct size. I was told by a rep that he would send me the correct size AND that someone would call me about picking up the wrong size. None of those things happened. So two weeks later I called back, inquiring. I found out that no one had ever ordered the new supplies. I also got incorrect information on the return and how to make it. I kept getting transferred after sitting on hold for 15 to 20 minutes, and three times the transfer didn’t work with one rep repeating, “hello? Hello?” like they could not hear me and then hung up.
You’d think since they are disconnecting, and they have my name and order up on their screen that they would have the common courtesy to phone me back so that I’m not sitting on hold another 15-20 minutes. But they do not. It’s your loss. So here I am paying them money for a service and they are wasting my time, completely inconsiderate. Finally on my fourth callback I asked for a supervisor. That took almost twenty minutes on hold to find one. When she wanted to put me on hold, this time I said no. I said that I’d had enough of my time taken and suggested instead that she call me back once she had a resolution (honestly, why do I have to sit on hold again when she has to contact another department?). So that’s what finally happened, and it took about an hour to get that callback.
It should be simple. Order supplies, submit another call ticket to pick up the previous items shipped. Why it takes 7 people and over an hour is really beyond me. I was so frustrated, so much of my afternoon wasted on something that should have taken about three to five minutes. Honestly I will be looking elsewhere for supplies.
