I registered with apria.com so I could order my CPAP supplies. When I try to log in I get authentication failed... So I tried the forgot password and when I entered my email address, it says it is not right. Then I tried to register with the same email address and it tells me that that email address is in use... Of course it is, it is my email address, but I can't log in, no matter what I do. What is up with your website... It is so frustrating. I am ready to find another source for my CPAP supplies.

Apria Healthcare is great right up until the time you find out that the supplies they automatically send you are not free nor were you told about them when you picked up your machine. It is not until you have received a couple of these deliveries before you see what they cost. I do not pay for anything I did not order! I am trying to return the BiPAP machine because I do not use it. The website tells you to make an appointment to return but they do not call you back. Then when you do get a hold of them they tell you that you cannot return without a doctor's consent letter. I do not use the machine and my insurance company nor myself are going to continue to pay for something not being used.
After I told them that I was not going to go to the doctor for permission to stop using the machine that I attempted to use for about a total of 3 weeks they told me to call back after 8:00 AM and that I would have to sign a letter in case something were to happen to me. Sorry folks. Scare tactics do not work for me! Find a company who is interested in helping people and not just fleecing them.

I rented a CPAP machine which my health insurance covered. When my health insurance ended due to my job loss APRIA waited for four months to bill me for four months of rental at $600 per month for a total of $2,400. I immediately returned the unit and paid the full amount due. APRIA told me this settled my account in full. After six months I now have received another bill for $1,200 for rental fees for months prior to my loss of health insurance that APRIA neglected to bill my health insurance company. It is too late for the health insurance company to pay the charges because the charges were for six months ago. APRIA should be prompt in billing for services instead of holding customers responsible.

OMG... In trying to arrange a medical necessity travel from Florida to Michigan for my father, I have lived 5 days of Bill Murray’s Groundhog’s Day movie!! Between the incompetence of Carecentrix and the rep Lauren from Apria, I have seriously doubted my faith in humanity. Automated phone purgatory, nonexistent faxes, promised return phones that never took place, reps that continually speak over you, everyday a new customer care advocate that promises to solve the issue and never does- even promises that the issue would be elevated to service department and manager attention still nothing resolved.
No POC, no end in sight, no more hope that today might be the day things get resolved...exasperation, frustration, hopelessness. Hard to believe these words would be the companies’ vision and goals- but they are the result of a team that talks a good game but does not literally deliver. Rest assured, all of these other folks that have described their experience are not exaggerating... I too heard many of the same assurances only to be severally disappointed in the outcome, and helpless to do anything but wait for resolution. The customers are real people, but reduced to account numbers...to all the others that are suffering through Groundhogs Day over and over, I am empathetic. -Sad.

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. What a disgrace, still waiting on processing for a portable oxygen concentrator, it’s been about 5 months, don’t they realize people NEED to breathe.

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.

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. I suggest you drop the word "care" from your company name.

Been trying to get a CPAP replaced after mine stopped working. Between Cigna, Care Centric and Apria they have wasted 4 weeks and I still don't know when I will get a CPAP. I have severe sleep apnea and am so frustrated that I am beside myself. They are not interested in my health but only their billing and insane approval process.

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!!!

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.

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. It is finally resolved but a lot of headaches, calls and time wasted. VERY VERY bad company to talk and work with. PLEASE DO NOT GIVE THEM access to your cards.

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.

Was supposed to receive a CPAP machine in July 2018 with Medicare and Blue Cross secondary... Despite repeated phone calls to Apria and my physician, the order wasn't completed until January 14, 2019... And the CPAP machine was missing the connection hose so totally unusable...and no local contact number available. I will be contacting Medicare to get this company removed as authorized 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. I called Blue Cross and they agreed to pay for full unit and did pay for full unit. Apria KEPT billing for the FULL price for another 12 months as if they were sending me a new unit each month!!!
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. I am contacting the District Attorney's office as well as the Better Business Bureau to file a complaint.

I was using a CPAP machine that was rented to me on a monthly basis following a prescription from my doctor which helped with my sleeping. That was the good news and now for the reality it was a well used machine when I received it and I used it for years being billed monthly but also unaware there was a change in my insurance company and they were not getting paid so for several months. 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. In closing I would recommend all customers to purchase and own their own equipment. It's easy and trust me a lot less headaches.

Apria Health care overcharged me $54.41 for 2017 for my wife’s equipment. I have the Blue Cross approved payment amounts and my credit card statements that prove this. 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."

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."

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.

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 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 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.

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. She was told it would be delivered on Monday, December 24th. By 3:30 it had not been delivered so we called the local Denver office to confirm it was still going to be delivered. 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. He told me the driver would call me but of course, that did not happen.
To make matters worse, my 81-year-old mother was tired and was afraid to go to sleep because she knew breathing would be difficult.

I have been waiting since Sept 24th for my portable oxygen concentrator. I call my daughter calls and I call again. They keep saying someone will call from processing or it can take up to 30 days. Well it’s been 90. I first applied in August. They kept saying not the right paperwork from the Dr. Finally Sept 24th they said everything was there and order is being processed. They said someone would call. Last week they said the order was sent to my local office. This week, you won’t believe it. They are trying to say I need more paperwork. I have arthritis in my knees and back and cannot carry around tanks. So I have been housebound since August unless I go with my daughter and she carries tank. Now they say someone will call on Wednesday. I am still waiting for a call since September.

For the second time in six months, after receiving just two shipments, I received a bill for a shipment for the same amount that I paid over two weeks ago. I called Apria Billing and asked what my current balance was. Reply from Billing was the same as shown on the bill I just received. I asked Billing for the date of my last payment, was given a date 9 months ago. I told the Billing Department rep that I was currently at their website, looking at my account page, where I see a payment date over two weeks ago. The Billing rep told me that because I used the online tool, with a credit card, the data will not show as a credit for my bill for approximately 4 weeks. Why can't Apria Billing see what I can see from my home? If this was 1999 that might be okay, but not in December of 2018.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Apria recently called me to inform me that my CPAP supply order would not be placed until I paid them $295 and some change as my deductible had not been met yet. I have an HRA account where after I pay the first $250 of my $3000 deductible Health Equity pays the rest of deductible cost, which is why I have never had to pay for supplies in the year that I have been receiving supplies from Apria. I met my $250 out of pocket part of the deductible back in July when my plan restarted and I have received supplies since then with no cost to me. After trying to explain this to the representative and getting nowhere, I asked to be sent a bill and I was told this would also not be possible.
I then called Health Equity which called Apria with me on the line to explain the situation and the process by which they pay the cost after the insurance has been billed and they received an explanation of benefits. They asked if the insurance had been billed yet and were informed that this has not even been done yet! I was informed that I would have to pay the $295 and then be reimbursed by Health Equity. I do not have $295 to pay up front and I don't understand why anything has changed on Apria's end. I also don't understand why the insurance was not billed beforehand. They don't have to send me the supplies until the bill has been paid in full and once the insurance has been billed Health Equity can pay the remainder and I can get my supplies.

The nightmare with this company started over 2.5 years ago. I had to get a new hospital bed for my father. We had a semi electric standard bed. It was gifted to us by a family who recently lost their family member. My father used this bed for over 3 yrs. Started having a problem with the electrical system. Dad's palliative care nurse said that we could get a new bed so that's what we attempted to do. My father is a quadriplegic so we need the electric bed. He weighs 220 lbs and is 6'1". Between the insurance company Today's Options Medicare Advantage program and Apria the bed was approved.
We received a bed in May, 2016. They said the bed was a standard size bed. It was not!!! My father's head and feet both hung off the bed by 4 inches. His arms would fall off the sides. In order to care for my father I needed 2 people to assist me since if I rolled him over there was a 100% chance that he would fall off the bed since the bed was so small. After many arguments with Apria who kept insisting it was a standard sized bed. When it clearly wasn't. I sent pictures of my dad in the bed and I kept insisting... After 2 months of this crap the insurance company approved a bigger bed. They sent Dad a bariatric bed... SMH.
The insurance company paid for the rental of the bed. With Medicare if you have a bed for or appliance for over 13 months it becomes yours as it is usually paid for in full through the rental. We had to start a new insurance plan in 1/17. At that time the insurance company Fidelis would not pay for the rental of the bed. So Dad had to come out of pocket approximately $303.00 per month. We paid this from 1/17 - 11/17, when the insurance finally picked up the payments. The insurance stopped paying for the bed August/18.
Apria started billing my father's credit card without our knowledge for $8.00 a month then back up to over 165.00 per month with no notice that they were doing so. They did this for 2 months. I called and told them that we were not sending them another dime on this bed. And to stop using the credit card without permission. While speaking with them I also found out that they have no record of the bed being ordered in 2016 nor do they have the records of our out of pocket expenses. This company is a complete fraud and full of imbeciles. I am speaking with an atty and filing Medicare fraud against them. This bed has paid twice over... What a damn shame...

I currently have half of an "M" tank for emergency backup. Right now they're calling for anywhere from 3 to 6 inches of snow in my area, which may not sound like much, but we're not used to that much snow/ice on the roads. At any rate I called to arrange to get a FULL emergency tank delivered on Friday, a full two days out from the winter storm headed this way. Living here for 16 years, I KNOW that the power will go out, either from a driver who lost control or a tree that fell on the power lines. The "representative" with Apria told me that the best he could do was schedule a delivery on Wednesday of next week, but not on an "if" need!? There IS no "if" need when the weather reporters have it nailed down almost to the mile of where there will be snow and ice, or just rain.
I land in the snow and ice range, but to Apria, it made no difference. If you can, find another oxygen supplier because Apria doesn't care, period. The WORST oxygen supplier I've had, and fortunately in a few weeks I'll be able to go back to the first supplier I had that is only 15 minutes away vs an hour and a half! When the power DOES go out sometime Saturday, and I call Apria, I'll get a recorded message like I have before, that they aren't allowing their drivers on the road, period, the end! What do I do THEN???? The hospital won't take me in purely on an oxygen need.
I tried that before when two tropical storms came through and knocked the power out, and the VFD, or regular Fire Dept from 7 miles away isn't gonna help me unless I'm on oxygen 24/7, where right now I'm just on it when I sleep, but with heart issues I sleep a lot. "Healthcare" is the LAST business that Apria needs to be in!!!!

In August of 2018 around the 8th day of the month. My husband and I went into the Marietta/Allgood Road Branch to pick up a POC that was prescribed to him by his Physician. It was a used POC in a Ziploc bag with one battery Gene3. We took a vacation and planned to take the POC to avoid having to take so many tanks. The POC would not fully charge and would not stay charger for more than 30 minutes on 2 pulse. I made a call to my Humana Case Manager and she ordered tanks for us from the Miami Branch where we were vacationing and instructed me to return the POC when we returned and stated that we should not have been given a used one. Once we returned I called Apria 1-800 number and was told that I should take it into the branch and have the order him the correct machine. I did and I also picked up tanks on that same day.
It was around the Labor Day Holiday that I did. The Respiratory Therapist (Amy) who gave me the POC on 08-08-18 was there and was finishing up with a male patient. The front desk clerk was there (** young lady) and the Gentlemen that handles the oxygen tanks was there. I gave the POC to Amy and she said she would get it into the System and that she gave me the used one as a Loaner for our trip (I was not told that when I picked it up) but I was grateful that she tried to help. We made small talk about her new short haircut and my new braids.
She told me that the Branch Manager was out (I believe on vacation as it was around Labor Day). The gentlemen handling the Oxygen asked me to sign in and he got the work order for the oxygen then I met him around back to load the oxygen in the trunk with my husband in the car as well. Amy told me before I left the office that Billy would not get deliveries until the paperwork is completed for the return of the POC which she had in her hand. Around October we received a letter from Apria stating that Billy would be back on the recurring oxygen schedule on a monthly basis. I called the number on the letter because Billy had previously on a Bi-Weekly schedule and they told me that once he is back in rotation we could tweak the delivery dates; however, he never received a delivery to this day.
His delivery guy (very nice and caring person) called while I was hospitalized to ask why he was not getting delivery orders anymore and told him what I thought the problem was. Friday November 30th 2018 I called the 1_800 number for Apria Humana patients to order oxygen and inquire why Billy was not receiving deliveries anymore and I was told that he was not receiving deliveries because he had a POC. I explained to her that I had turned it in and she told me to hold let her further review her records.
Once she came back to me she said she saw notes that indicated that I had turned it in on September 07, 2018 and that she would connect me to the local branch manager (Christa); I then said to her that would not accomplish anything because the manager at that branch did not treat all of her patients with the same kindness or respect. I asked to speak to a Manager from the Corporate Office because they should be made aware that Apria is fraudulently charging Humana/Medicare for a POC that I personally turned in.
I also told her that this was the second time that this had happened at this branch. Amy had suggested this machine the NIV once that she said was much better for my husband. We begged the Physician to give us prescription for it although he thought it was not the proper machine for Billy. Amy (the Respiratory therapist) came out to our home with her husband in toe and set Billy up on this machine (NIV). We had it for about a month and we noticed that Billy oxygen saturation was low at night while on this machine so we contacted the doctor and he told us to return it and go back to his CPAP. We did but 9 months later we receive an invoice for copay of this machine so I contacted the office and just like this time I was told that I did not turn it in.
The difference then is there was an honest RT there by the name of Pam who was there on the exact day that I turned it in and she said yes she did turn it in I was here. Amy then said that I was being charged for the machine because the doctor did not send them orders that Mr. ** no longer needed the NIV. The lady from Apria 1-800 told me to that she would note my account that I wanted to talk to a manager but in the meantime I could go and to pick up tanks but she could not place a delivery order and being that my husband did not have any I agreed.
When I get to the Marietta/Allgood branch on Friday 11/30/2018 I don't sign is as I normally do and wait for the gentlemen to come out and tell me drive around to get the tanks instead the young lady at the front desk go into the office that is the Manager (Christa) and then she goes into the room whether the RT (Amy) is and then Christa comes out in a very aggressive manner to tell me that the reason Mr. ** will not be getting any tanks is because he had not turned in the POC so I began trying to explain to her that I did and she should check with Amy but instead she goes back into her office and pulls of this sheet of notes from the 1-800 Apria that she says prove I didn't.
There phone calls that I called in asking about the delivery of his oxygen that she says that I stated that I still had the POC and I told her that was a lie and then she goes on to say that my Humana case manager had called in asking about switching out the POC for a new one but the Humana Case worker knew we did not have the machine because I contacted her once we had turned in to let her know so she would have never said that we still had it. Humana was trying to find out if they were going to get us a brand new one for the one we returned. After about 10 minutes of Christa yelling over me and repeating that she is the Boss while I am trying to explain to her that this machine had been turned in on a day that she was not here; I yelled at her to shut up and get Amy because she was the one I returned it to.
Amy comes out and simply say, "Mrs. ** I do not recall you turning it in to me" so I start telling her things we talked about on the day I brought it in and the fact that she said Christa was on vacation or out but she stood in my face and lied and I know it is because everyone in that Branch is afraid of being fired my Christa. There have been several RT, Delivery guys, front desk and oxygen techs that have rotated out of this branch in the short time that she has been there.Christa threatens to call the police to have me escorted off of the property and she then states that Mr. ** won't ever be able to get Oxygen because she was going to call his doctor.
I left the facility as I have 2 nephews that are Cobb County Police officers and have been given strict instructions on how to handle myself if the police is called especially in this ERA of innocent deaths by police officers while being **. I left and went to the nearest QT to call 1-800 Apria for a Manager. After 45 minutes of explaining the situation to the Customer Care and requesting a manager several times; I was connected to James who said he was A Manager and explained all this to him and he was going to contact the Resolution Team or whomever to look not this and he would call me back.
This was around 3:30 PM and no one had call me back by 4:30 PM so I called back and was told no manager was available that someone would call me back on Monday. I called back on Monday Dec 04 and was told that they were still waiting on the resolution team to get back with them but also that Christa (Marietta/AllgoodBranch) had called Humana and Billy's Doctor and told them that Billy was discontinued service through Apria due to Safety concerns. I never once threaten Christa, curse her or gave her any reason to think I was going to harm her. I have never in my life threaten anyone or harmed anyone. Actually I was very light spirited when I first go to into the Branch until she met me with a horrible attitude.
Basic impression I got from her that day was that she was mad with me because apparently the 1-800 Apria had discussed with her the concerns that I had discussed with them. She repeatedly stated to me that she was THE BOSS. No I was not whispering when I was talking to her because she was yelling at me but I was never threatening to her. I told her that she should not be allowed to work around sick and elderly patients because she do not know how to talk people. I have now reported this with all evidence I have to Humana Office of Quality and Patient Care, The Joint Commission and I have contact Medicare to report repeated Medicare fraud from this branch and the mistreatment of a group of its patients.
I also plan to seek Legal Aid to represent Mr. ** for being denied his basic medical need of Oxygen by the Marietta Branch. I also plan to talk to the Head of the Pulmonary of Wellstar as my husband and I have been seeing him for almost 10 years and he is aware of the issues we have had over the years with Apria. I also plan to file a Racial Discrimination Lawsuit with Apria to Include Amy and Christa. Apria is a huge organization I know and Corporate cannot know all that goes on in a particular Branch but as the Owners and Operators of the Organization Patient Care and working with Patient"s Advocates should be priority and that has not been the case for my husband and I.
I have witnesses of former employees to confirm this. It is Corporate responsibility to look into these case none bias and resolve the issues. Instead Apria will contend to take the word of its own employees who depends on them for a job. To the lady at the front desk and the oxygen tech I know you wanted to say you remember that I brought this machine but it would make for an unpleasant work environment. I forgive you.

Where do I start? First they sent me to a collection agency without sending me a bill. When I accessed my account online, I showed a balance of 0. The bill was 2 years old and was for only $52. Took me almost a year to get my credit score back from 685 to 815. I had to dispute the matter with the 3 credit bureaus. In the end, the bill was their fault. They did not send Blue Cross the proper information. Then they billed my debit card without first sending the charge to my insurance. They took $120 from my checking account without authorization. By the time I spoke to my insurance company, who helped a lot, Apria owed me $185. They think they are above the law. Beware!

I have a newborn on oxygen. From the get go, they have managed to screw up almost everything. We were sent home with incorrect parameters on our pulse ox monitor, resulting in the equipment not alarming us when her oxygen levels were too low. The Resp Therapist had no idea how to set up the monitor when I called them back to our house. I ended up watching a YouTube video and setting the parameters myself. They sent us home with the wrong supplies and had us order the incorrect supplies. It took me 3 weeks to get the supplies needed in order to provide life saving oxygen to my newborn. When we realized they had us order the incorrect supplies, I tried to send back and disputed the bill through CareCentrix. CareCentrix says that Apria never returned their calls and therefore I got stuck with a $1000 bill.
Called to complain to Apria - they told me “once insurance green lights it, there isn’t anything they can do about my bill.” So Cigna and I have to pay for their mistake?!?! They can’t get the right supplies out to save their lives. I’m repeatedly told it will be there next day or it has already delivered and yet haven’t received anything or received another patient's invoice and supplies with our info for the shipping label. I have received a Medicare patient who lives in Aurora, CO supplies, I have received ADULT nasal cannulas, etc and many times receive nothing at all. Today I received a pulse ox probe that was ordered 7 weeks ago. Because I wasn’t getting any, I had ordered them again and had already received what I need. I called Apria to send back and got transferred to 5 different people over the course of an hour and half and NO ONE seemed to know how I could send it back and ensure that I would not be charged.
I am calling CareCentrix to flag my account to not pay for any supplies through Apria moving forward as I refuse to continue to be billed for incorrect or extremely delayed supplies. WORST company I have ever dealt with - they are incompetent, inefficient, and unethical in their treatment of patients. I have escalated my issues up repeatedly to management and corporate contacts and can’t find a single person in their leadership team who actually cares about improving processes and their patient care. They are a dangerous company who somehow is allowed to continue staying in business providing life saving medical treatment.
Apria - I will not go away. I will continue to pursue this and make sure everyone knows how terrible you are. I will file a complaint to Joint Commission, contact the Attorney General, and news stations if I need to. Based on all your 1 star reviews on the internet - it’s not difficult to see that my experience is definitely not an isolated incident. Shame on you.

My health care savings card was charged $156 without my consent, I called and they said it was for the estimated charge and were waiting for the insurance company to let them know the true charge. I asked for a refund to the card as they would not provide a bill showing what the $156.00 charge was for. (Required by the IRS for health care savings accounts) They stated it would take 7-21 days. After 27 days I called back as the amount was not refunded and my other Credit card was charged $142 for the deductible amount I was responsible to pay (which they provided a bill for after the fact). The rep went to her supervisor and while they admit I was owed the $156 they are unwilling to refund it due to short payments from the ins company. (They are a preferred provider with my ins co and have negotiated rates.) This is not my responsibility to pay. To say I am frustrated is an understatement.

On top of it, I'm trying to get my machine processed as a purchase so that I can stop dealing with these problems and the billing representative says he can't process the purchase for one part of the equipment without insurance authorization, but I didn't need that for the other. At this point, I just want to be done dealing with Apria and would never recommend them to even my worst enemy.

From incorrect billing to being charged for items I did not purchase to them using my card that they keep on file without my permission to the most recent debacle that started 10 days ago. My wife has a breathing problem and it was determined that she needed a c-pap machine. The nurse called them from the doctors while we were standing there and get all the information they needed.
The customer service rep said she would expedite it. It is now 10 days later and still no machine. I call in and I am told they are verifying my insurance and I should be hearing something in 2 days. Why do you need to verify my insurance as it has not changed in the last 10 years and you bill my insurance monthly for equipment I rent.

My CPAP machine quit on me, and was told by my insurance company that they would pay 100% for a new one, so I contacted Apria about getting a new one. Was told they need a prescription for it from my doctor, my physician faxed it to Apria. Was told by Apria that they were processing order and it would take a few days. A week later nothing, called Apria again and they said it was still under review. I asked if they could expedite the process as I am not supposed to sleep without it for health reasons and was told they would try to speed up the process for me.
Four days later no call from them so I called back to get an update on progress. They told me they were trying to get approval from my insurance company on who was going to pay for it. I asked them why they had not contacted insurance company yet at 11 days in, was then told that they need a reference number from my insurance on coverage of equipment and wanted me to get it from my insurance company? These people are supposed to deal with my insurance company directly so why am I supposed to have to get info for them. To speed up the process I called my insurance and talked to them about this reference number and was told they did not need a number. This would be fully covered. Insurer said she would call them directly and try to figure what was going on and call me back.
20 minutes later she called me back and told me she had talked to several people there and they acted like they didn't know what she was talking about. She finally talked to one person and was able to get them to understand that everything would be paid by my insurance. This is info that I got from my insurance company in a 15 minute call previously, these people from Apria have been clueless, and every time I talk with them I had to explain the whole story again, they are supposed to have notes on file and on calls about case at hand! Not very professional. Seems that the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing there.
A week later still no call from Apria about status, called and talked to a rep about status. Was told it is pending, come to find out they had conflicting data on file. About insurance again. I explained my insurance had called and everything was approved and thought we had finally got things straight, and was told all was good. Was told it was being processed for delivery. Talked to supervisor there about whole situation and how poor the service had been with people not knowing information from previous calls and not updating status and was informed that she was expediting process again. Was told that it would take about two days and then they should call me about delivery, and was told new equipment should be already set up and ready to go on delivery.
Another week later no call about delivery, so I called them again and talked to a supervisor again, had to explain all over. They connected me to the delivery side and was told it is pending again, and they were trying to get info from my doctor on settings? This is like try to herd cats, no one knows what's going on and apparently they don't communicate with each other at all. I explained that all the info they needed was on my sleep test that was previously on file, and that everyone I talked to before said all was good and that info would be pre programmed into new machine. The person then told me that she would reprocess it and someone would call me about delivery time. This is the worst treatment that I have ever received from a company that is supposed to be there for health support and supply.
You would think that a company that is providing supplies and services for people with health conditions would care about the customer but apparently not. It has been over a month and nothing, no call, no equipment, and no sleep. Apria seems to not care for the customer, we are not important to them it seems. Please take your health care needs where it is appreciated and save yourself the hassle and stress. Does there have to be a class action lawsuit against them to get their attention? I will be calling soon to cancel order and take my health care needs elsewhere.

You can not speak to an American person and the person on the other end of the phone is difficult to understand. I was switched around to three persons today and the issue is not resolved.

My trips to NYC are my bus to bus and then a 7 block walk adding up to about 1 3/4 hours if traffic was fair. Then it’s to the doctor/test where one gets to wait 15 to 45 minutes to be seen. Add appointment time and we just exceeded the amount of time the tanks can deliver oxygen. Solution, get a portable oxygen concentrator, yeah sure.

This is why companies should never outsource overseas. It's like talking to a wall. They do not listen to you and they keep with the script. I'm tired of telling the same story over and over again every time I call. I'm going to my DR and I'm calling the BBB and I'm calling my ins company. They need to get their ** together because they are in business by ripping people off.

This is not the first company that involves Medicare or equipment. However I sent a complaint already to Apria because I did not know that paperwork and a credit card was supposed to be on file. I was told my equipment would come last week. I was told a representative would call about time. I've had to call a few times regarding my order from the doctor. That was over one week ago. I was given an appointment time and each time I had to call to see what happened to the representative that was to bring my equipment. I was told to call today. Then I was told to call later because the office was not yet open. I finally got an answer referring to paperwork and credit card. If this was told in the beginning I might have received my equipment a week earlier (I doubt it but I'm hoping I would be wrong). I have yet to see anything. I have called a few times and am really annoyed with this. My husband needed the equipment and has yet to get it.

Phone calls started from Apria mid October. Told me a couple of times they had received my order and were processing it. Then a representative called me Wednesday last week to tell me they wanted to set up an appointment. But for some reason they were going to call me back the next evening. That call didn't come until 5:15pm Friday evening. They would call me back Monday to set up delivery as they didn't know when they could get me in. Monday they called and told me they would be able to deliver on Tuesday. But couldn't give me a time. I work nights and told them I didn't want to be up all day.
I was assured it would be by noon. Noon came. No call, no delivery. I called them and their phone system asked for verification info, to which, it said my information was not in the system. I encountered this the next 5 times I called back in subsequent calls due to disconnections, misdirected phone calls and lack of people in the call center being able to communicate. Frustration setting in, I asked multiple times for a supervisor and kept getting the "let me look into this for you" and "my supervisor is in a meeting". Finally, I hung up on them after yelling in frustration I wanted my order cancelled.
At 4:50 on, I received a call from a delivery guy saying he was on his way to my house. Too bad for us both I was already at work. At 5:10 he left a note on my door saying he missed me. Apria Healthcare, you seriously need to rethink your business operations. 215 bad reviews has to say something. Some of us already have horrible sleep issues with needing CPAP; you deprive us of more sleep with horrible delivery options, frustration from dealing with your "customer service", and I am afraid to see what your product support will be like if I ever get it.

I have used an oxygen concentrator from Apria at night for 5 or 6 years, and have had problems from the beginning. Their billing stinks... sometimes statements arrive on time, sometimes they skip a few months. Their process for scheduling maintenance is horrible... I get an automated call telling me what day they're coming, and prompting me to acknowledge with a keypad entry. There is no person to talk to, just a robocall... and no indication of what time, not even a window. Do they think people don't have jobs??? The list goes on.
Why I've stayed with them so long is beyond me, really. But now I'm dealing with the worst problem ever. In short, they needed authorization from my doctor to process the insurance claim for rental... next thing I know, I get a bill for more than 10 times my copay. I got no explanation... just a whopping bill. I had to call them to find out why... afterward, I contacted my doctor and asked him to send the document they need. Thought it was done... until I got my next bill.
Called again today... took forever to get an explanation. Called my doctor again... according to his notes, he had tried several times to send the documents. I called Apria again, got a different person, had to go through the whole story again... all she could tell me is that they have to get the documents from the doctor. She couldn't tell me why they didn't get them the last several times he tried to send them. I hope they get them this time... as soon as this is cleared up, I'm walking away from Apria, and looking forward to never doing business with them again!

Before being discharged from the hospital they called to set up for delivery of oxygen supplies to be delivered to the house. After being told the driver was about 15 minutes away the waiting game began. 4 hours later she was discharged from the hospital with assurance from Apria that her supplies would be delivered to the house that night. Two hours later we called Apria to find out where her oxygen was and they said that they were expediting the delivery so they would be delivering later that night. After another two hours we called again to find out where they were and after talking to another person in another state we were once again told they were expecting her order. After waking up the next morning we called the after hours number for Apria to find out when that morning they might be delivering and we were then told they didn't have an order in her name for the previous day or the next.
What the hell is going on with this place? Do they realize that these people are depending on these supplies to stay alive in some cases? This has to be the most uncaring and unorganized company I've ever dealt with! Unfortunately her current insurance company only deals with this outfit. This is how this is starting out. Most times a company will put their best foot forward to at least make it look like they care about the customer but not this place.

My husband is on Medicare. He has an oxygen concentrator and has had it for several years. He is invoiced monthly for the rent of the concentrator. The invoice/statement is received by mail. Payment has been consistently made through Apria's online payment system of epay.apria.com. He received no statement from September with a due date in October. I found the statement online. It showed a balance of $0 or no payment due. Concentrator rental has been a consistent price of $22.40 per month. A debit/charge was processed through our checking account this month - October in the amount of $14.10. I've spoken with 2 billing representatives as to why a non-authorized card was used and what was the charge for. Neither can answer beyond saying that is the card on file and it was approved. The card had never been set-up to pay a monthly rent on the concentrator. The change in the rental amount can't be explained.
One representative said next month's billing will be another amount with again no explanation. The next representative said account is current and next month's billing hasn't been done. With the concentrator rental is supposed to come supplies and service. Service is haphazard and at the convenience of Apria. Supplies are promised but not provided. The type of Medicare that my husband has doesn't allow for the purchase of this equipment. He is also tied to Apria for services for 5 years. This isn't the way to treat your customers.

I was initially contacted by Apria Healthcare regarding an order for my CPAP machine which was prescribed by my doctor. Over a 2 week period they would call multiple times requesting that I return their call to complete the order, which I did every time they called, and it was the same routine - "We have you scheduled to speak with a technician that will call you, so they can meet with you to go over the machine and explain how it works." Me: "Ok great. But every time I call you, you keep telling me this technician is going to call me but they never do!" Them: "Ok sir, I have texted the technician, and they will call you today." (They NEVER called me).
After 2 weeks of this,(also including times they called, I'd answer, then they'd hang up) I finally got the same person who I always got when calling, and I said "look, what do I have to do to get you guys to send me a CPAP machine???" Then, for the first time she says, "Yes, we can mail you the machine via FedEx, it will come with a DVD, instructions, etc... Blah blah blah," and I'm like "What!!?? I thought a respiratory tech had to meet with me first???" "No sir, we can ship it to you and it has a DVD!!!"
Me: (trying to maintain composure) "Ok, just send me the ** please (I didn't actually say that), I'm sure I can figure it out, especially since it comes with one of them new fangled digital DVD discs!!" Long story short - If insurance wasn't paying for this, I would buy one outright. The communication, or rather the ability to understand the call center person was horrible, and I'm 40 years old. I can only imagine a much older person with impaired hearing trying to navigate the conversation with them...

My 92 year old grandmother had a stroke that left her unable to walk. We received a referral from her doctor for a wheelchair and were told that Apria would deliver it to our home. I contacted Apria to confirm that information. I was told we'd receive it that same day with a "100% assurance". I proceeded to have my grandmother discharged from the hospital based on the fact that we'd have a way to transport her from the car into the home. Was contacted later on by Nicole who proceeded to tell me that a wheelchair WOULD NOT be delivered that day and didn't know when it would be delivered.
I asked to talk to a supervisor and Pedro took the call. Kept me on hold for more than 30 mins total and still didnt have a resolution. Told me he would look into it and call me back. By then, we were already park in front of the house with no way of getting my grandmother in the house. Pedro called me back to tell me that there was a "Payer's Issue" and we wouldn't get the wheelchair on time. If they had said that to begin with, we wouldn't have had her discharged to our care.

Apria's horrible business practices make them an awful solution to acquiring important medical services to those in need. SO many times has my parent been on hold forever, only to finally speak to someone in another country, so far removed from the situation to be of any help. Deliveries are consistently late, and there have been times when "new" equipment has arrived but turns out to be malfunctioning. 24 hour On-Call service actually complained to my parent about having to "get dressed" and "drive a long way" to provide emergency service. In a business where lives are on the line, and the dignity of the elderly and the sick should be a priority, Apria comes in last. Unfortunately in some areas, Apria has the market cornered, and customers have few, if any other options. Definitely go elsewhere for real healthcare. Definitely.

They are by far the worst place ever to do business with. They took forever to send out the CPAP supplies, so long that I stopped ordering from them after only a couple of orders.

I have sent them proof, my insurance explanation of benefits that clearly shows it has been paid yet they keep sending me bills.
Phone calls only made things worse because all they say is it shows I have a balance and to have my insurance call them, they do not call insurance companies themselves??? And they want that phone call to be a conference call with me and the insurance company on the line! WHAT!

Updated on 01/03/2019: Once again, Apria Healthcare has charged my credit card for no reason. I contacted their billing department, and they cannot see why it was charged, just that it was. There were no supplies sent, no invoice sent, nothing. They just keep charging my credit card. If it wasn't for a recent charge I saw that was also a mistake, I would not have revealed they charged me last month as well. This is now 3 times they have illicitly charged me.
Original Review: This company is constantly charging my credit card, even though they've been reimbursed by my insurance company. I call them to dispute it, and they state it's their policy to charge this way, and apply a credit if they notice the discrepancy. There is no notification, I don't see a credit, and if I didn't get my credit card company involved, I would have overpaid again and again. I've been stuck with this provider as a selected in network provider by my insurance company, so I do not have an option to change to another fulfillment method.

However, it is still not fixed as of September 2018. They just keep blowing me off saying they will fix it in 48 hours. The money I paid in February still has not been credited to my deductible and it was over $200 that I paid out of pocket.

Paid it without asking what for. 9/24/2018 called APRIA because the machine was no longer working, found out there is another balance of $11.86 on my account. Why? Because the machine was a renting, not a purchase deal, so will became sale after 13 month of paying rent.

If I could rate this company 0 Stars, I totally would. First I'm going to say that when I contacted my hospital's sleep center with issues regarding the company that the CPAP machine came from, they asked which company I was assigned to. When I advised them that I was assigned to Apria Healthcare, the insurance specialist stated "I'm not sure why I set you up with them. They have a lot of issues and complaints."
I have contacted Apria's customer service maybe about 6 or 7 times, and only once have I gotten someone I actually understood. I signed up for auto-supply when I got my CPAP machine, took 8 months to get my new supplies. My biggest gripe with their customer service however is in billing. I got my CPAP machine in July 2017 and was told I would no longer be billed after 1 year which was standard. Come July and August 2018 I receive bills for high amounts. Contacted customer service, and the rep advised me "Oh something on your account was changed so your account was renewed in December [2017]." I asked why I wasn't notified of this, the rep said that it was the insurance fault because I "had a change in insurance companies."
FALSE, I've had the same insurance provider since 2016, no changes. I told the rep, that this was incorrect and he just kept repeating the same thing to me. I asked him, "from July 2017 to July 2018 how many months has it been?" He LITERALLY replies back to me "due to your insurance change your contract is now going on 8 months..." Apria needs to STOP outsourcing its call centers to wherever the hell they are because the reps ALL have heavy accents, speak fast, and make no effort to try to speak clearly to the customer or patient calling in.

My mom is on oxygen therapy for COPD, and of course Apria is the company she's had to work with to get her supplies. Our experience began in May when she couldn't be released from the hospital until Apria had delivered her oxygen to the home. Several calls were made by the medical staff and our family to get this scheduled. It took 4 hours before customer service was able to locate the medical order (which was sent over several times). When the associate finally arrived to set up the oxygen, no apology was made, and the proper mask wasn't even included. It then took another two weeks to get Apria back out to the house to deliver the proper mask and portable concentrator.
More recently, we've had another negative experience. Our doctor prescribed a BiPAP machine to help remove dangerous CO2 levels in mom's breathing. An order was sent to Apria, who claimed they couldn't find the order. After THREE MONTHS of follow-up to get this machine, we demanded that Apria find a local office that had the machine so we could get it. A customer service representative told us that a local office had it and they would prepare it for us. We drove out there only to find that they didn't have a machine, and wouldn't have one for another two days. We again demanded they find another location with a machine for us to pick up, NO ONE OFFERED AN APOLOGY FOR THE MISCOMMUNICATION, OR TO TRANSPORT THE MACHINE TO A CLOSER LOCATION FOR US TO PICKUP. Instead, we had to drive 45 minutes to get this machine so our mom could have relief.
I'm DISGUSTED with the lack of customer service, the lack of communication between the call center and the office locations, and the defensive attitude received in the office when you share your experience. People rely on this company to BREATHE, it's life and death. I can't say enough negative things about this company, and their unwillingness to be patient-focused.

I requested an invoice several times and never received one. I ended up paying blindly with no reference, hoping they would match up somehow. Needless to say, that was a nightmare in it self. Later I was told that they had me set in the system not to send me invoices. As of today, I am switching to another company. It took a lot, but I'm done. I voiced my displeasure with my insurance company. They will help me change providers.

I call the Apria phone number and someone from outside the U.S. answers, I can not understand them and they don't seem to be able to understand me. I have been trying for about 2 weeks to get 4 ML6 homefill tanks, first they sent two D tanks, of which I already had 2 and I had to send the back. Next they sent out an ML4 homefill tank, I don't know why, I called again today to find when my order will be here. No luck have to wait for a call back. I was an Apria patient several years ago and never had any issues with them. What the hell happened!!!

Apparently Apria uses a third party billing agent called Care Centrix. Nothing but a runaround from Apria and Care Centrix. Based on CPAP order placed in December 2017, I received a bill for $247.02 directly from Apria. I coordinated calls between my HC company, Apria and Care Centrix thinking everything was resolved. Here we are, August 2018 and not only did I receive another bill for $247.02 they charged my credit card - I do not recall giving auto pay authorization. I have sent documentation from my health insurance company indicating they paid Care Centrix back in Feb 2018 and I paid my part in January 2018. Tired of the billing reps constantly apologizing but it's hollow now since the issue is still not resolved 8-9 months later and counting. Not a happy customer and now I'm questioning why am I even using them as I would have thought the interface between Apria and Care Centrix would have been worked out.

Apria's billing dept. has been extremely difficult to work with. Every time I call with a billing inquiry, I am given a different answer. No one seems to know what I truly owe. One person tells me I overpaid, another tells me I still owe over $200 (these calls happened within the same week). I am transferred multiple times and required to explain my situation/concern again and again. We had insurance 1 from April '17 to Aug '17. Insurance 2 from Sept. '17 to Nov. '17. Then, we went back to insurance 1 from Dec. '17 to now. I have bills dated with the correct dates of service and insurance info, yet the Billing Dept. has told me they NEVER got the updated insurance info and my claims were denied by insurance for "timely filing"- but again, I have invoices FROM APRIA dated for Dec. '17 with insurance 1 listed on the back.
So now, I am expected to pay for these services that would have been covered by insurance because Apria - despite having the correct insurance info-billed the wrong insurance. I have spent HOURS on the phone explaining this to various representatives and have made no progress in this issue. I cannot stress enough how difficult my experiences with them have been. I will NEVER use Apria again and I will be discouraging ALL of my friends & family from using their services.

I always confirm what my copay will be before placing an order. I ordered CPAP supplies early August, and was told my copay would be $48. My supplies arrived, and today my checking account was dinged for $247.00! I, like most people, am on a budget and this is very distressing. The charge just magically appeared! I called Apria first thing, a very rude c.s rep told me my insurance didn’t pay so I have to. That’s all well and good, but I should have been notified prior to this charge, especially since I did not sign up for autopay (I never do). I told her to close my account. She said she couldn’t do that. I told her to remove my debit card and she did so grudgingly. I WILL NEVER USE APRIA AGAIN.

They are the worst company. I had contacted the CEO of the company, and he responded but that still didn't change things. All of the employees I ever spoke with were not nice and didn't know much about what they were talking about. They have too many 1-800 numbers all over the United States. They never answer very often. I think everyone should never use them. They take advantage of patients and their reps of the company are liars to the doctors. Doctors or their staff believe it. They are so more expensive than other companies. I really think they rip off Medicare and patients that don't know what is going on. Nurses sign for things and they shouldn't be doing that at all. That is how Apria makes money.

I was with a company that had great service. The company closed and transferred clients to Apria. After the transfer, I spent a total of 4 hours trying to understand why I was being billed by Apria when I settled all my bills with the previous company. I still don’t understand. I asked to set up autopay for my monthly bill, then I started receiving voice messages about unpaid bills that would be transferred to a collection agency.
After another call, I “resolved” the issue and the customer service representative made “a note”. On the same call, I was transferred to another department, where that support agent immediately told me I have an outstanding balance. I explained that I just spent a half hour sorting this out and there should be a note in my account. Two weeks later, I receive another bill - so is the autopay working yet or not? I have to research another company - I don’t have this kind of time to repeatedly dealing with the same issues. This service is a waste of time for me.

Seems like customer service people ARE NOT educated about their products, or empowered to make any decisions to assist in problem solving. When a supervisor was requested, it was obvious that the rep. was concerned about negative feedback... I assured him that my concern was to have an order filled properly, and not to badmouth him, in fact gave him an "attaboy." Geez, if this is any indication of the pressure Cust.

On Aug. 7, 2018 my mother was fitted with a mask that was not appropriate for her. The mask she was issued covers her nose and mouth enabling the CPAP machine to deliver air throughout the time she is sleeping, without interruption. Unfortunately, although she tried her best, she was not able to tolerate the mask. I suggested that she call the tech and let her know that she was not happy and would need to try another system, specifically, the Nasal Pillows, which in fact, was what her doctor had discussed with us.
My mother called twice and left two voicemails asking for a return call. However, there were no returned calls and my mother has been forced to sleep without getting enough air! She suffers from congestive heart failure, sleep apnea and restless leg syndrome. She stops breathing during sleep many times during the night without realizing it and each time she stops breathing it harms her heart and her brain! I also tried calling on her behalf and I left a lengthy voice message asking for a return call, to no avail.
I instructed my mother to call me by 4:00 pm if she had not received a call from Apria. At 4:00 pm my mother called to inform me that no one had called her! I got on the phone, quite furious knowing that she was going to have to sleep without the CPAP yet another night. I spent 10 minutes giving the operator information then I asked to speak to a supervisor. The operator DEMANDED I tell her what this was about and I simply answered: "Terrible customer service!" Then she continued to badger me and again demanded I tell her what I wanted because she will tell the supervisor herself! I then asked for the corporate number and let her know that if she didnt give it me I would find it on the internet and report her to corporate as well!
At that point she asked if she could put me on hold and I said yes. About ten minutes later, she came back and told me the supervisors had all left and she would be happy to take the information and give it to a supervisor tomorrow! I became enraged and I told her that if this issue isn't resolved by Friday or if anything happens to my mother because of her, the techs, supervisors and anyone else involved who she is covering for, there will be an attorney knocking on Corporate's door!
She just continued talking and talking and just hung up! How dare this company treat patients without respect or concern or even a bit of empathy? My mother chose to join an HMO so, she is basically stuck having to use Apria because the HMO chose to contract with them. I fully intend on contacting the HMO and filing a complaint.

In January of 2018 I called the Springfield, IL office to see about getting my c-pap worked on as it was getting noisy. The gentleman {his name was Dave} that I talked to said that I might be able to get a new one and he would check to see if my insurance would cover it. I was told at that time that it would be covered 100 PERCENT. So with that information I decided to get a new since my insurance would cover it 100 PERCENT {or so I thought}. I get a new one and then he sells me a humidifier {WHICH I DON'T USE INSTEAD OF GETTING THE ADAPTER FOR THE MACHINE}.
The humidifier cost me approx. $279.00 which I didn't need. I received a bill in March of this year for the amount of 477.93 and tried to argue that I didn't owe because of what I was told. This has been nothing but a big sham in my opinion. I run a business and if I say a service is going to cost a certain dollar amount then I have to stand by it. I talked to someone in billing and set up a payment plan of $30.00 per month and have paid my payments as I should have. I look to maybe pay my account off and come to find out I've been charged twice for deductibles without my knowledge or consent.
I was also not told that I would be paying rent on this machine. If I would've known of all the HIDDEN CHARGES I would've stayed with my old c-pap as it was working just fine other than being noisy. I received a deductible charge on 4/8/18 for 85.50 and one on 7/8/18 for 68.40. I don't know what they are for and nor will not pay them. They are hidden charges and robbery. I have paid $120.00 toward my original bill of 477.93 lowering the amount I owe to 357.93 which I'm willing to pay. I will never do business with Apria Healthcare again.

My mother receives pulmonary medication, and oxygen from Apria. June 1, 2018 my mother's Pulmonary Dr. sent Apria all required paperwork for a portable oxygen concentrator. My mom was contacted by Apria approximately around June 8, 2018. She was told that Medicare wouldn't cover a one time fee of $220.00 for the concentrator, so she paid it in full at that time. Weeks went by, and we hadn't heard anything from Apria. June 30, 2018 I called Apria, and was told a delivery date of July 7, 2018. 20 phone calls later, and we're now over 90 days since the pulmonary Dr sent the order to Apria, and my mom paid the one time fee. We have been told the portable concentrator is on back order, etc.
Now my last phone call with Apria I selected the extension that is for physicians, because speaking with regular customer service reps, & supervisors aren't doing their jobs. My last conversation I was told everything the pulmonary Dr sent Apria on June 1, 2018 has expired. I have to take my mom back to the pulmonary Dr, and we're basically starting the process over again. The next available appt. with the pulmonary Dr is in November!!!

I told them initially I needed a full face mask as my nose is always jammed - despite surgery 1 year ago - still working on it. Unfortunately, they shipped the unit with three nasal masks (I obviously can't use them.). I called them Monday 7-23 (the Philippines) and explained the problem and asked for full face mask... They said I would get it Wednesday 7-25. On Tuesday 7-24, they emailed me a form-letter stating (among other things)... "The team at Apria Healthcare noticed that you missed your goal for therapy usage over the last several days." You see, the insurance companies monitor whether you were using it for 4 hours every night, or they won't pay the bill (nice - thanks big brother). I emailed them back with the info above - and asked them not to mess up my insurance. I received no response.
I called someone in the Philippines this AM Aug 1st. She had a record of my initial call nine days ago, and said that I was supposed to receive replacement face masks, but informed me that nothing was shipped. I called back this afternoon. I had a customer support number with an area code in my state, but again was transferred to the Philippines. I tried to confirm my order and was sent from one department to another. Must've talk to 4 or 5 different people while doing the standard... waiting on hold, sloshing through number menus, entering my ten-digit birthday over and over... You know standard bad customer service stuff - like your cable company.
Supposedly it is shipping today - I am not holding my breath - except involuntarily because the CPAP machine doesn't help me at all with the wrong equipment and terrible customer service.

Who would know if the wheelchair is bigger? The patient and caregiver. Deliveries are NEVER on time. One time it was 2am, this is a true statement. The next to last delivery was left at the door.
The last delivery a woman and man came in and the woman stated that some guy in this area keeps calling to complain. Each time I call I complain. So now my brother is supposed to be stuck with a squeaky dirty chair because he got intimated by morons. Next time I will be present and I will NOT tolerate those inconsiderate, rude and moronic individuals. I call and am told, there are no wheelchairs in the warehouse, but then a driver show up with the dirty, rusty chair. When I call I ask to have my call recorded.
When I call back there are no notes of the conversation that occurred, instead its all misinformation. Give me a break. Apria management, get a clue. You have a broken inventory system, you have people who have too much power and no respect for people in need or their jobs. Shame on you.

Finally they "clarified" that the order showed "complete" in the system, but had not actually shipped. They promised to contact the shipping department and try to make sure it went out quickly.
Over the following month, further calls revealed that it hadn't in fact "shipped," but the order was "complete" and would be shipping any day. They claimed to be unable to find a phone number for the shipper, but would email them - they refused to give me any contact information at all for the shipper, refused to allow me to speak with a manager/supervisor, and continued to feed me lies.
Now, a month after my credit card was charged, and after my insurance was billed and paid their amount, still nothing received, so I called yet again. This time, I was told my order had been "ended" (canceled). They could not determine why. No refunds were issued to me or my insurance - they kept the money, but had I not called again, they would never have sent the supplies. That is literally theft. I have now been told that a new order has been submitted, and promised that I will not be charged again, and once again promised that the order will be "escalated." I have to say I don't believe a word of it after my experiences the past month. Any company who will outright lie to you that your order has shipped, keep your money, and cancel your order instead, does not deserve to be in business.
For the record, customer support is outsourced to India, and they will never allow you to talk to an actual supervisor, never transfer you to a "tier 2" support or native English speaker, and will use all manner of excuses to give you the runaround, leaving you on hold for exorbitant amounts of time, all to give you absolutely no usable information or assistance at all. Apria Healthcare is absolutely one of the worst companies I have ever dealt with in my life, and I find multiple complaints online that exactly mirror my own experience. This is not a trustworthy company, and I would recommend you look for literally any alternative option.

Where do I begin? Have had this company for about 6 yrs. Why I have stuck with them is beyond me? This week drew the last straw. Received a invoice for 3 different dates and 3 different items. I have Medicare and a great insurance company. First they tell me invoices were submitted but not paid? Call insurance they say they never received these invoices so they call them, and are told sent to collection agency. So this morning I looked at the invoices again and didn't make since because I have 3 items through them. Why would insurance pay for two items off that invoice but not the other? They have been paying so all of a sudden insurance choices what they are going to pay?
So called again today. This guy had no clue. Put me on hold for 30 minutes. Finally I hung up. Called insurance they had me online. Called them lady kept saying it was turned into collection for 2016. These bills were for 2018 then after explaining again she left came back and said, "Oh insurance never responded," really day before I was told they denied the claim. Lady on other line from insurance told her we never received the bill? Now Apria lady says, "Oh we resubmitted the bills July 14th or something like that..." Now you tell me what is going on. Not first time I have had dealings with them. I never received a bill and same invoice shows they sent 10.95 to collection agency and I owe $21.00 but she had no clue what it was for? I never receive a bill from them. They send it when they already sent into collection agency? I will be switching today already contacted Medicare.

If anyone requests you use Apria Healthcare for anything RUN. This is the worse company I've dealt with in my entire life. They have been processing an order for equipment for 5 months. Every time I call to find out the status of my order I get a different answer. Very frustrating that a simple order can take 5 months. I am going to talk to my Doctor about getting my O2 and CPAP equipment elsewhere.

This company gets worse and worse. First the hold period on the phone, the incompetency of the workers and the faulty equipment. Well all of that is bad enough but if that's not bad enough now they have hacked into my bank account and kept charging me money, I call, get placed on hold, finally speak to an individual whose English is not understandable. He agrees he sees they are taking money from my account. He sees that I have called on this before. Now he tells me but we don't know what it is for. I asked to speak to someone that could tell me and he sends me up to someone else and after being on hold for over an hour and half I hang up.

Apria Healthcare has committed FRAUD. They have made unauthorized charges to my credit card. They have sent me faulty equipment, incorrect supplies. Their customer service is simply RIDICULOUS. I have been lied to about how to handle all these issues by people who had basically no training with the products they represent. You cannot understand the people to whom you speak. This is a shame, because this company deals with life and death issues. There should be and has to be some kind of ACCOUNTABILITY for this equipment and supplies. I have sleep apnea and I am returning my machine and doing without because of their incompetence. I pray something is done about this unprofessional, incompetent company.

I have to call them about every 3 months due to the fact the unit that fills my portable tanks will not fill them. They have to come out and sometimes fix it on the first try. I have called 3 times in a row to order tubing and did not receive it till the 3rd try. The Customer Service has been terrible since they shipped the call center to the Philippines. Half the time you can not understand them and the other half they can't understand you. And most of the time the order is wrong. The billing department also leaves a lot to be desired.

It is very surreal to be reading such critical reviews, because my story is so similar to many. Ask your doctor for a different company. I am appalled at the reviews, and my experience of runarounds, accusations, and outright lies. I finally got my CPAP, but they keep telling me I did not, and want to send another. Difficult to understand representatives do not help the situation. I wrote the CEO, I urge other to as well. An aside, it looks as though they treat their employees as badly as their customers. I will ask my doctor if I can somehow transfer my account, but, I'll bet I cannot. I can't wait for the long term problems I'm reading about.

I ordered some crutches after foot surgery. Apria told me they will be delivered in the afternoon. Next morning, still no crutches. I called back Apria. I was told they were on the truck for delivery. Still no crutches by mid afternoon. I called back and I was told the crutches will be on the truck as soon as they receive them at their warehouse... drum roll... in KANSAS CITY. Then they will be shipped to local branch in Miramar, South Florida. Timeline was unknown. WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? WHEN? WHEN? WHEN? WHEN? Come on Apria. Get out of business.

Apria sent a new CPAP quickly. Unfortunately, the setting was incorrect. I have called 5 times in the last 2 weeks and have yet to have a call from a technician. I have talked to 2 different supervisors, and had them escalate my concern to urgent. Still no response 2 weeks later. How many times should I call? The return of a CPAP is prohibitive and will only be accepted if defective item. It isn't defective, I just need someone to fix the setting.

My doctor referred Apria to me when he put me on nebulizer treatments 2 yrs ago for COPD. Right from the get go there were issues. Every time I called for the medicine cups, or the filters for the nebulizer machine or even the tubing it was clear the person on the other end did not understand the request. It might help if the people taking the orders spoke better English and understood the products being ordered but that is not the case.
In 2 yrs of doing business with them I have yet to give an order that I did not have to describe in detail several times during the order process and I learned to follow up with a phone call the next day to confirm the order is actually being processed. Today I called to find out why the order I made 2 weeks ago for the medicine cups I need hasn't arrived and was advised they were sent a week ago but couldn't provide a tracking number. I asked to speak to a supervisor about the matter and was advised a supervisor could not help me with this issue. That was my last straw. I've had enough. It's very clear the customer service reps are incompetent to handle even the smallest of tasks. The customer service at Apria is horrible and I have canceled my prescription.

I have been an Apria customer for many yrs, this is my insurance company's preferred provider for cpap supplies. RUN from this company if you can. Customer service and billing plays the Abbott and Costello game of who's on 1st. I spoke to Customer service 4 times and Billing 3 times this morning, both referred me to the other, and long hold times between each other. This is a little about them. In 2017 I told Apria that I had paid my insurance deductible, but I wanted them to check my ins. to verify my coverage and what the out of pocket or copay would be for the supplies I needed. Apria was told they were not to ship supplies until they called me with an estimate of what my out of pocket expense was going to be unless the insurance was paying at 100%.
They mailed the supplies and are now billing me 14 months later for supplies that they still haven't gotten filed correctly with my insurance company. 2018 My husband was offered a new mask to try. The trial was free if you didn't like it and returned it within 30 days. I contacted the local Apria office less than 2 weeks later and told the office it didn't work for him. He drove to the office and he tried to return it. He visited the therapist about it. The therapist shows he came in before the 30 days but didn't show he tried to return the mask in his notes. There is more to all this but you get the point. In 2016 they billed my credit card on file without my permission and it took multiple calls and 7 months to get a refund. I removed my card from my account.

Out of the blue, I received a box from Apria. In it was a CPAP facemask. Since I hadn't ordered one, and my doctor had not ordered one, that meant that Apria had decided, on their own, to choose a mask for me, ship it to me and bill me! I had to call them to get an RMA and credit. The receptionist transferred me to "the right place," and after being on hold for a long time, they hung up on me! I called back, and it took 3 call transfers to find the right person. They gave me an RMA and said they would credit my account. I shipped it back the same day. A month later I receive a BILL in the mail for that same product. AGAIN, I had to call back. "Carrie" said she adjusted it off of my account. We'll see. A TERRIBLE experience, with a similar one happening a year or so earlier. I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY CAN STILL BE IN BUSINESS!! VERY frustrated! VERY unhappy.

They keep you on hold for as long as 30 minutes at a time. If you ask them to spell their names they will say "Mam you are breaking up I can't hear you and hang up." If you get to speak with a supervisor she will not help you. I contacted a supervisor in the States and she was no help either. They monitor calls but doubtful that they listen to them because if you talk to another Customer service Rep. They have no clue. And they must not read the reviews about them or don't care.

Customer service is of poor quality. The level of care for patients and quality of care is sub-par. When calling, you get multiple different stories and along with being told that it will take 7-10 days for a CPAP machine to be delivered. To my surprise, they never called the insurance company to verify the benefits until I made them aware of this. Will file a formal complaint to CMS and JCAHO. Their concern for patient safety is Unacceptable.

It's taken Apria three weeks since my doctor put me in for a new CPAP machine to contact me. I just spent 28 1/2 minutes (REALLY!) on the phone. Why? Because they insist that the INCORRECT information they have on me is correct! They insisted I had secondary coverage. I do not. And the myriad of empty apologies do not placate me, they infuriate me. GET IT RIGHT and there is NO NEED to apologize!

I spent 2 1/2 hours on the phone with Apria for one simple question. When the call was complete I knew no more than I did before the call. I was directed to five different departments and nobody could give me a answer. It seems to me that there are no people there that know how to conduct a decent conversation with customers.
I've also been charged for services that my insurance had already paid for and they (Apria) insist that I owe money that my insurance says I don't. They refused to contact my insurance company to inquire about my concerns because they told me it wasn't their job to contact them. My insurance company contacted them a month ago but that did no good either. I will never order anything else from these rip off artist. I also recommend that anyone who needs CPAP supplies to find some other company to get them from. You will be a lot happier and you won't have to go through a bunch of B.S. every time you place an order!

Sleep study institute prescribed a CPAP machine. I had two providers in my area, and unfortunately I chose Apria. I would say that Apria is an outright joke if it wasn't such a shameful nightmare. My review is long, so I putting the conclusion up front as well: Do not walk, run, Run, RUN away. Do not even let them get your contact information, or you will end up fighting fraudulent billing for years!!! My story: My insurance is setup for a CPAP rental of 10 months and after the 10th payment it is converted to owned. After my last payment, I started receiving additional monthly charges. Apria contends that I must pay 15 months. I called my insurance about the discrepancy, they confirmed that no I am on 10 months, and assumed those two would resolve without a need for my intervention.
I have now spent 14 months trying to resolve this. The local Apria store phone number is unlisted and I had to get their local number from an inside source. This store told me several times that it was being resolved. Twice they told me it had been converted to owned. Both times the billing stopped from Apria for a couple of months, then suddenly, they started billing me again.
After 10 months and two failed ownership conversions, I started putting pressure on the local store to resolve once and for all. Also, I had called the 800 number about 10 times during this period but stopped calling because each and every time it was answered by someone from India that could barely speak English, worked solely off an answer card, had no clue about my problem, and had no understanding, authority, or intentions of resolving my dispute. As a matter of fact, their mantra from the cue card was "you have to pay 5 months more, period". Now, to save the hassle, I would have just paid the last 5 months of patient portion, but Apria wanted the full payment including the insurance company's portion, which insurance refused. So here I am stuck in the middle.
All during this time, the local Apria store assured me that I would not be billed for anything past the contract timeframe in dispute (max 15 months patient portion) while we tried to resolve the 5 months in dispute. After a year, I was very aggressive with the local representatives to get it concluded. They finally said that Apria corporate would not listen to them nor resolve anything, so I had to call the 800 number. (Now if they do not listen to their own employees, what chance does the patient have especially when we are redirected to India to listen to a cue card!) Gearing up for a fight, I then requested the local office to provide a copy of all activity on my account (billing; payments; communications; account notes; etc). They refused and said I was not allowed to see the information on my account; by then they were mad AT ME, and said do not call here again!
So, I then had to move to the insurance to apply pressure. They have spent 4 months trying to get through with Apria, and Apria refuses to budge on the 15 months (and this is talking to representatives in the US that have the understanding and authority to adequately resolve). In the meantime, I just got two new bills from Apria for almost $5,000! This would put the total patient portion at about 32 months on a 15 month contract (that actually should have been 10 months). During this time, they sent one invalid charge to collections, so I had to pay it just to preserve my credit.
I think my insurance is going to resolve their Apria problems by paying their portion of the 5 months in dispute and billing the patent their portion. My insurance is so fed up with Apria that they indicated to me that they have already notified Apria that they are dropping them from any coverage provided by Apria and are in the process of moving hundreds of current participants to other providers. They told me that they had over 40 participants that had the same problem as me and Apria will not reasonably solve (which means they are probably eating 80% of 5 months on 40 people - and 40 people now have to pay 5 months they should not have to pay).
The insurance also warned me to not purchase supplies from them as well, as they have had many complaints that Apria will then start shipping and charging supplies indiscriminately and will not work with the participant nor insurance to resolve nor stop the unauthorized shipments/charges. And Apria will simply send charges to collections if you refuse to pay. Do not walk, run, Run, RUN away from Apria. DO NOT USE THEM. Do not give them on one piece of personal information. They are nightmare and will NOT GO AWAY. Apria will haunt me for years to come simply over a CPAP machine.

There is not one department that I have spoken to in 15 years that is competent and helpful. They send you wrong supplies then won't refund them. You have to repeat your information to them ad nauseam because they don't listen the first 3 times. They keep sending bills to you when you have paid. It used to be there were few companies you could work with and they had minimal competition, so you were forced to use them, unfortunately. There are other choices out there, FINALLY, so you do not have to use Apria! Yahoo!! They say "Thank you for being the best part of Apria" - they aren't kidding! You really are the best part - because nothing Apria does is "the best". Run, do not walk, to find another company to work with for your medical supplies.
