    I had a CPAP with Apria and was using it for a few months. After the machine was getting me sick I explained to Apria I needed new supplies or a new machine. I was never sent supplies or exchanged a machine, so I stopped using the CPAP in 4/2018 and I asked them for a return address or RMA to ship it back to them. They explained I own the machine now. I get a collection notice today on my credit bureau today from state collections from APRIA for a company I don't owe anything to. I have emails from APRIA stating I do not use them or owe them anything yet my credit was just ruined by their collection dept, or company.

    The worst experience I've ever had with a company. Bought CPAP at 15% off. Went 20% off a few days later. Wouldn't credit me 5% more. Required me to return it and reorder - very inefficient for both of us. Also to return it the return department has to approve your return which takes 3 - 5 days and you can't contact the return dept by phone. You can only email them - guess what? They don't respond promptly to emails. In the process of arguing with them I found the same machine $100 cheaper somewhere else so if they ever approve my return I will be returning only and not reordering.

    In September 2018 after a physical I was tested for sleep apnea. After being diagnosed I was contacted by Apria requesting information that the doctor had included with the prescription. I received several phone calls from Apria and made several to my doctor. I finally received the CPAP on February 13, 2019. I followed all the instructions to qualify for Medicare using the machine 4 or more hours every night and made a visit to my doctor on March 13, 2019 to discuss whether or not it was helping.

    On March 21, 2019 I get a recording telling me they would be picking it up on March 22, 2019. It was a recording giving no explanation of why. I called the customer service number, was on the phone around 30 minutes and still was not given an explanation that made any sense. They were picking it up and re-delivering it because of a problem with Medicare that “had been resolved.” If resolved why are they picking it up? They can keep it as far as I am concerned. It did benefit my sleep but not worth the trouble.

    Our experience started in 2007. My husband was prescribed a BiPAP portable gas system and concentrator. The 1st wk. the machine malfunctioned and the mask was no good. A salesman came to our house and replaced the mask and we asked him to remove the portable oxygen tanks. We helped him load them and that was the end of them. Through the years we had to constant call for service and they always left notes and never called back. My husband talked to his dr. and said he didn't really need the concentrator and the forced air BiPAP was fine. That was 2014 and they came by, serviced it and we tried to start using again, never made it a week. So they came back and picked up.

    2019 the BiPAP finally went down. We called and went to dr. and had new prescription sent and we were assured the new BiPAP would be here shortly or I could pick up locally. My husband had to live at his dad's while waiting to piggyback off his machine so he wouldn't die. Now I didn't mention to you since 2007 I had been fighting the billing on the oxygen tanks they had billing and every time I was assured it was taken care of, evidently it wasn't. I was assured that concentrator picked up in 2014 was also off billing--it wasn't.

    So while trying to get this new BiPAP we find out we are in collections for $3700.00 and I had another bill for $800 getting ready to go there. I gave them $75 for the $800 bill and set up payment just so I could get him his BiPAP. After 2 more weeks of non English speaking agents I find out we were never getting our BiPAP until $3700 we didn't owe was paid. I've been 2 months and finally gotten our $75 back and been told collections was cleared. We've asked for a letter for collections and have never received it--it has kept our credit score low and we want to solve this once and for all. I CONTACTED THE BBB AND 2 OTHER AGENCIES AND I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH PRO BONO LAWYER- I have asked them to offer me a settlement for all this fraudulent credit reporting and they never solve anything. I guess the best way is the legal way.

    I have dealt with Apria for a number of years because we have Humana insurance and they are the ones that we were directed to use. I placed an order yesterday and spoke with a very nice lady and ordered the supplies I needed. She took all my information down and repeated it all back to me. Now today I received a call from Apria and was told my insurance information was in two different cards and it wouldn't go through. So after giving out my information (AGAIN) they were using information that was from at least 10 years ago.

    I use my CPAP every night and get it replaced as often as I should so I have kept my information updated. So when this woman called, and had me totally confused, she didn't seem to know much about what the heck was going on either. Then when she mentioned the doctor's name that I had over 10 years ago I couldn't believe it was that information she was using to bill my insurance with. This is just the latest dealings I have had with this company for the past 10 years. I have read the other complaints and a number of them sound like what I have dealt with also. With all the bad things being said about this company I would think that they would try to do a better job so there weren't so many complaints.

    I called to order CPAP supplies, they said insurance would cover it. Find out after they shipped the supplies that they don't cover any of it! I asked Apria if I could return it, they said no! Charged me over $$600 for 2 masks and a tube! Are you kidding me! Then I pay and 3 months later they say I owe an additional $170.06. Worst ever! #neveragain.

    I have been using them for between 3 and 4 years for my mother's oxygen needs (24/7). In the last year or 2 they have become absolutely horrible to work/deal with. You used to be able to easily talk to a person and set up delivery for oxygen. Now it is a threatening automated call/message telling you what day you are scheduled for, and if you don't call and confirm you will not get a delivery for another 6 weeks or whatever your normal term is. Absolutely no way to reschedule for a different day. I have had many other negative experience with them lately, including trying to get somebody to check out what turned out to be a defective oxygen generator. Stay as far away from this company as you can, if at all possible.

    Worse company I've had to deal with in all my health issues. I'm having to use oxygen at night and was called by Apria on Friday to deliver. I told them I wouldn't be home from work until 6pm and even though they deliver up to 9pm, it was decided it would be better for them to come on Saturday. First mistake! I get a prerecorded call at 8:30am telling me my delivery would be here between 9:15am and 1:15pm...so I thought ok...that's only half of my only day off wasted waiting around for them. Then at 11am...I get another prerecorded call stating my delivery time has changed and now it would be between 1:15pm and 5:15pm. I'm not happy but understand that something must of come up.

    At 5pm I call Apria and after pressing 7 different options to get to their customer service dept...I'm told my driver didn't start work until 1pm and I was pushed up to be next in line for delivery. At 6:00pm I get yet another prerecorded phone message stating my delivery has changed AGAIN and delivery would be from 6:45pm - 9:30pm. REALLY??? What a crock of crap. Not sure how this company stays in business.

    So again I make another phone call to the company and after asking the person 5 times to speak to a supervisor she finally puts me through. He tells me my driver just finished lunch at 5:30...really...when he just started work at 1pm??? And of course I'm the next in line...still they are not here! I wasted my only day off work sitting around literally 10 hrs now for them to deliver. What a joke for a company! I will definitely be shopping around for other companies that will deliver or I can go pick up my own oxygen. Never will I wait on them again! Do yourselves a favor and stay away from this company at all cost!!!

    Had a home sleep study conducted with this company in January of last year. Received my CPAP in March of that same year. I should've known right away that it was going to be a terrible experience because the lady who instructed me on how to use my CPAP had no idea what she was doing, she had to read the instruction manual to show me. The contract was long and full of legal jargon and would be extremely hard to understand (thankfully, I work in the legal field), but I signed it because I had no choice, I needed to sleep. At first the lady told me she would have to charge me $50. As I left, she ran out after me to my car and said that "Oh, sorry it was actually $150!" Alright...

    Over the next few months, they billed me the monthly cost for the equipment rent-to-own. They never billed on the same day so you never knew when they were going to deduct money from your bank account. And then in July of that year, I had an insurance change which I notified them about. Nope. Instead of billing my new insurance, they started to bill me $80 a month with no notification, even though their own contract said that any change in billing required that they notify you!

    So after being billed $80 three times, I said enough is enough. I contacted their support and asked them what was going on, why they weren't using my new insurance. As it so happens, my new insurance won't work with this company because they have a history of fraudulent and deceptive billing practices. Came as quite a shock to me, right? No. But instead of notifying me that my insurance denied the claim, they just decided to start charging me out of pocket.

    So at this point it is October and they have ran my bank account with over $200 in charges. Despite numerous contacts with support to reverse the charges because they broke their own contract, they would tell me, "We will reverse the charges!" and then never do actually do it. Eventually, I contacted my bank and told them to suspend all transactions from this company and to help me. 2 months later, the bank finished their investigation and I got my money back. Thanks to the bank having to investigate them on my behalf.

    Now they are trying to collect $120 from me for a sleep study that was unpaid, which admittedly was my fault, but I am never going to pay them, because I have to have my sleep study redone anyway because my machine is not calibrated properly and has not improved my sleep at all. And any attempt to get the machine recalibrated, you have to call their call center and talk to someone who doesn't speak English in any capacity whatsoever. This company should not be in business. Avoid at all costs. If your insurance refers you to them, show them this review and the hundreds of others here and pre-authorize your sleep study somewhere else. Never in my life have I dealt with such a dysfunctional, irresponsible, and fraudulent company.

    Apria has negligent, dishonest, abusive customer service. They offered to deliver my equipment at 5 pm. Paid in full prior to delivery. Day of delivery, they said the delivery window was actually 10-2. I spent nearly 45 minutes on the phone at work to reset delivery time to 5 pm so that I could get home. First rep *hung up* on me, second rep thought it should actually come between 1-4 and didn't know how to help, third rep ensured me after 5 pm.

    I would supposedly receive a call 30 minutes prior to delivery. Arriving home at 5, I found a note on the door they'd attempted delivery at 2:45. Never got a call. I called again, and they promised delivery later that evening. Didn't show up after 3+ hours. Called again. Rep ended my call, tried 4 different reps, supervisor said he had "no idea" when order would arrive, order never came.

    This company is the worst company I ever have dealt with. Just received a bill for 3700 for bills over two years ago. Never knew I owed a bill at all. Really two years WHY didn’t you send me a bill monthly. The bill was not itemized to what they were charging me for monthly. I have called numerous times and get people out of the United States that can’t speak fricken English and have no clue what they are doing. They said a manager would call me. Oh what a surprise. No callback. Again requested an itemized receipt for them to send to me. Sooo frustrated with this horrible company. I decided to just go out and buy my own machine and told them to pick all their ** up ASAP. Will see how fast they get that done. This company is a totally rip off to invent sick people.

    My insurance referred to Apria and throughout the five to six years I was with them I was issued supplies once only. Also, I was never trained properly regarding the equipment, I was never told about its filters and it needing to be changed. The company does not meet compliance guidelines. On Feb. 1, 2012 I spoke to Apria's regulation and compliance employee, Caroline ** for about an hour. She then referred me to speak to their branch manager Jim ** whom did nothing. Eventually I was able to leave due to insurance changes. However, a couple years later I was referred back to them since they were the only ones who are covered by my insurance.

    I can relate to most of the complaints I’ve read regarding Apria customer service. My wife was prescribed a Breathing machine and the primary insurance was being billed regularly as it was 100% covered by the primary but the secondary insurance only covers 80% of the cost. We kept receiving bills for the 20% of the nine covered portion from the secondary. I’ve spent many hours on the phone almost every month trying to explain to customer service that if the primary covers 100% why would I get a bill for the blue sky imaginary 20%. The made up balance was sent to collections and I again spent several hours explaining the issue.

    The machine was completely paid off by the primary insurance and after making and receiving calls to one representative from my insurance to Apria’s level 2 team that was supposed to clear the issue I was disconnected off the line and had to start all over. The last conversation I had with Apria ended with Apria’s rep telling me “prove it, that the insurance company paid for the charges.” Apria if you are monitoring this, your customer service is the worst I’ve ever experienced. I hope to spread my experience to everyone I know. Disappointed beyond what words can explain.

    My husband's doctor sent Apria a prescription, clinical notes, and sleep study in early January. We waited and waited. The first time I called Apria I was told his doctor did not send the prescription. Called the doctor: yes, she did, but she sent another. Waited. Second time I called I got an apology and was told he didn't know why my order just sat there but he would "escalate it" and call me the next day. No call. Third time I called I got more apologies and was told the order would be "escalated", that they did indeed see our doc's prescription, they didn't know what had happened, and I'd get a call. No call. The third phone call I was apologized to again and told the order was in the wrong department but things would be straightened out and I would be called in 24-48 hours. Of course I was never called.

    The fourth and fifth times I was told, "So sorry," and, "So sorry again" after I said my husband needed to breathe and that maybe I needed to call a lawyer... The order would be marked URGENT. Someone eventually called back and left a message that the order was ready and they needed more info and that it was going to be some rental situation for a year or some mess. Too bad.

Just last Thursday, my doctor's office again faxed the prescription and the date of the doctor's visit, which was January 18, 2019. That's almost 8 weeks ago and I still have to live with a machine that often shuts off at night, beeps like crazy and which the humidifier hasn't worked for a few month. Enough already!

    I only wish I had read reviews before I started using Apria. I can identify with almost every complaint I've read. I have only been with them for a little over four months and am frustrated because I can get no satisfaction on my inquiries about billing and adjustments due to duplicate payments made personally and by my insurance. I hope my conversations were recorded and analyzed. I can almost recite their scripted replies, and I certainly have difficulties understanding accents. I feel as if I'm talking to the ceiling.

She kept asking if the shipping package was damaged! Then...the hose!!! No, there is no hose, no it is not in the bag, under my bed, etc. There is NO hose!

    I have been using a CPAP ResMed machine for a year, and recently had a pacemaker implanted. While traveling to Puerto Rico, I needed a replacement nasal mask which could not be acquired locally. Because I could not use the CPAP, there were repeated pauses in my breathing which consequently activated my newly installed pacemaker. I called Apria and explained the circumstances on four separate occasions. I indicated I would be more than willing to pay for the overnight shipment and was finally assured it would sent via UPS the next day. It was NOT received the next day, nor the following day.

    When I called to indicate that I not received it, and once again emphasized the importance of the part, I was transferred five times, each time having to explain the circumstances from the start. Each call taker, following a SCRIPT, thanked me for being customer and again transferred me once again. Ultimately, I was told the overnight shipment could not be facilitated (per "auto order") and would be received in another 3 days. When asked to speak to a supervisor to explain the necessity of the situation, I was advised all the supervisors are busy.

My doctor even got involved in this matter as Apria would fax something to my doctor and then a few days later fax him again! But that’s not what has gotten me so upset. Apria never calls to give you an update. You have to call them and my insurance and Doctor are Sick of this. I have spoken to at least 10 different people to help resolve this but they always put you on hold. When you ask for a supervisor then they tell you that they are sorry but they are busy. "Right," I say! So today when I called the second time I got this girl and I asked her if I was paying cash would I get it sooner and she said YES. So that just tells you that if you can pay for it upfront then you will have no problems with this company and by the way I have UnitedHealthcare and a wonderful nurse from UnitedHealthcare name Jamie is a very wonderful nurse for helping me!

    I’ve been having issues with Apria from the beginning. They sent me a CPAP, recommended by my doctor, and instead of charging my insurance, they kept saying my claim was denied and billed my credit card. My insurance company looked into these claims and told me they were never submitted. They obviously outsource all of their customer service because I can never get anybody who understands English. I asked for return shipment to send the machine back months ago, and still haven’t received this. Only more bills, not being sent to my insurance company.

I supplied correct insurance info but they never billed insurance company. Now 5 years later they have turned me over to collections for their error. They can't provide me detail or will not let me talk to a supervisor.

    My Doctor referred us to Apria Healthcare in 2017. For a while I was renting the CPAP machine and eventually I owned it and everything seemed fine. We changed employers and got new health insurance, I called Apria and to update my health insurance and then Apria started charging me monthly rent. A few months ago they said I OWN IT. Very unprofessional and I can't wait to change companies.

    I tried to get a breast pump thru Apria. Every single time I called/followed up I was told something different by one of their inept representatives. Day 1: I was told I could choose between receiving a Drive Medical or EvenFlo. OR I could rent a Medela. I said I would ask my OB what she recommended and call back. Day 2: I was told they didn’t have any breast pumps available. They’re all on backorder. Day 3: (after speaking to my OB and having her recommend a Medela) I asked to be sent a Medela when it was available. Turns out they magically found one in the last 24 hours and they’ll send it to me. Great.

    Day 4: I receive an EvenFlo breast pump. Day 5: I call back and say I received the wrong pump. Now I’m told the prescription my doctor’s office sent didn’t specify the Medela. So I need to tell my doctor’s office to re-fax the prescription stating specifically that it’s for the Medela pump. Fine. Day 6: I call to see if they received the fax. Nope. Apria’s fax machine were not working.

    Day 7: did another go around of telling my doctor’s office to send the fax. Asking if they received it. Day 8: Apria says they received the fax and I would be sent the Medela pump that day. Later that night... I receive ANOTHER EvenFlo Brest pump. Day 9: I tell Apria to stop sending me terrible pumps (look up EvenFlo reviews!). I’m told that there’s a specific prescription code for the Medela pump, and they need the doctor to send that code to get the pump. Oh, REALLY! Why didn’t you tell me that nine days ago?

    Day 10: I ask my doctor’s office to please send the correct code to Apria. Day 11: Apria says they received the fax BUT the Medela breast pump isn’t covered by my insurance. YOU’VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!! At this point I gave up. These people are idiots. This company should be shut down. BTW: the EvenFlo pump was terrible. Bruised my nipples and made them scab. Cheap product. Not surprised seeing as it came from Apria.

    I have been trying to place an order for my CPAP supplies for over two months! The first order they canceled because they said my insurance company never responded to their request for authorization. I called Apria back and after an hour and a half on the phone, I spoke to someone in Finance and she indicated that they already have the authorization in my file and transferred me to a Customer Service Representative who said that they would send everything out ASAP. I waited a week and nothing arrived.

    So I called back and there was no record of my previous call and had to go through the entire order process again. They apologized and said it would ship out the same day. Guess what... Nothing arrived. So I placed another call and was told the order was being held because it was requiring insurance authorization. They said it was faxed over to the doctor, but have not received the authorization in return.

    I took a day off of work and called the insurance company, pulmonologist and my primary care physician...all of which stated they did not receive a fax from Apria. I call Apria again with this information and was told this time the order was being sent to the escalation team and someone would call me back shortly. I waited a couple more days and called the doctor again and was told no faxes... Another call to Apria stated the same thing. This time I provided them with a fax number next to the office manager at the doctor's office. Went on to deaf ears.

    Another round of calls to the three doctors, no faxes and another call to Apria I could not hold back my frustration. My CPAP supplies were two months expired, I have a nasty sinus infection and three extremely painful sores on my tongue. I had enough. I told the CSR that I am not hanging up the phone until my supplies were approved by whoever they are trying to get authorization from and they were being shipped Next Day Air for Saturday delivery!!!! She had her supervisor come on the phone and read the trail of notes. Said that it was too late to get an order out today, but will guarantee delivery on Monday. Let’s see if this promise will be broken like the other 12 times!!

    I have never dealt with a company that has such poor customer service in my life. No one has any idea what the other departments are doing and use sending an email to the escalation team as a default response to anyone they fail to fulfill an order and is upset. If it was not for the fact that my insurance company uses Apria for all of their CPAP patients...I would drop these guys in a minute and recommend that the insurance company picks another provider!! They truly are the worst and don’t care if they cause their customer's physical pain due to their incompetence. Apria is the honest definition on inept people who have the power of people’s healthcare in their hands and only care about the money they make without an ounce of guilt when they make a mistake and cause physical pain and harm to their customers. DO NOT USE THEM!! Find someone else who will not hurt you because of their negligence!

    Thanks to a very conscientious Apria employee, my problem was resolved, billing is now appropriate and my refund was received. Many thanks to that young lady!

    Original Review: Feb. 26, 2019

    I noticed a charge of $888.61 on my credit card late January 2019. I contacted Apria and made sure they had my 2019 insurance change before this charge appeared. I submitted it in writing. When I called back, the woman I spoke with had an ever changing story about my bill. I explained I never signed up for epay. I paid one bill last year by phone and used my credit card. There was no mention of it being authorized to bill me whenever; nothing about epay authorization to charge me.

    This type of thing is the reason I never do this. I asked for all my 2018 statements and she declined stating they were on epay. I told her I want all my statements from 2018 in writing (I got ONE and it was the phone payment) because she changed her story several times and the last one was these were all copays from 2018. Guess what? You just denied me the ability to tap into my HSA. Then she said my insurance was never billed (!!) so I was self-pay. Then she said when they contacted my insurance, they told her I wasn't insured in 2019. I checked with them and yes, I am insured. I have had unbroken insurance through my wife's employer for over 12 years.

    I am disputing the credit card transaction and blocking them, however I need to, even if it's a new credit card. Stay away from this company. One coworker states it's the only DME company dealing with sleep apnea on his insurance. This is fraud and may be actionable in a court of law. I'm checking with the state financial crimes people later today.

    I have used Apria for about 10 years but recently they closed the local office. Now everything has to go to their call center where ever that is and their service has gone non existent. They really rate a ZERO star but I don't see that option. I have been working on getting CPAP supplies since January 11, 2019. Now I have Medicare and they have a really stupid requirement of having to have a Dr. tell them why I need the CPAP supplies and that I still use it. Why would I order supplies if I was not using it. Is there some CPAP black market out there I don't know about. So now I had to do a face to face with the DR. to prove I need the supplies. So there is another expense for an office visit. OK not Apria's rule but did the meeting and Dr. sent the information in they requested on January 22, 2019. All I keep getting from Apria is they need the info and they don't have it. Sorry yes you do.

    After 5 different conversations and now Feb. 25 still no order for the supplies and they still can't find the documents. Sounds like HIPA needs to investigate this company to find out where they are loosing all my records. On one of the calls I did talk to a lady in the order department who seemed to care (but not really) said she saw everything and it was going through. That was a couple weeks ago and now got a second letter saying they need the report. You have the report not going to send it to you again to lose it. Dr. office has expressed that other patients have had a similar experience with Apria so it sure sounds like another company that has forgot who pays for their wages. Done with APRIA and hope others move away from them too. Moving over to their competitor Lincare where my wife gets her supplies and hope they can get it done right.

    I have been an APRIA customer for over 10 years and my experience has been awful. The only reason I have not left APRIA is I was not sure where to go. After todays conversation with the customer service staff, I have no choice but to find another supplier. I called on 2/4/19 to order new masks and hoses, I also inquired about a new machine. I was told they will send out the masks right away but I will have my doctor send in a script for a new machine. The Doctor sent in the script on 2/5/19. I received a recorded call from Apria indicating the machine approval was in process. In the meantime a scheduled a new sleep study for 2/28/19. I fully expected the have received the mask and hoses by now.

    I called today 2/19/19 and was told the order was on hold by Medicare or the Doctor. The CS rep was not real sure, but did confirm the order did not go out. I asked what was the holdup and he did not know. I asked to speak to a supervisor, but he could not find one. I asked him to have the supervisor call me. I received no call. I wrote a complaint to APRIA on 2/18/19 and received a response on 2/19/19. I was informed that they would look into it and call me in a week. This is only the latest in a series of poor service and poor communication from APRIA.

    Here is list of complaints on previous calls with APRIA. I called 12/16/2016 and I could not hear the CS rep. I do have a hearing disability and explained that to the rep. The phone system was so poor, I requested new masks and hoses. These were never received. I could not hear the rep to confirm my order. I went out and purchased a caption call phone to communicate with APRIA since your customer service phone system is so poor. In 2017 I ordered a new power supply for my CPAP machine. The power supply never came. I had to purchase one on Amazon. I have had enough of your poor service. I found a new supplier and will not be going back to APRIA.

I asked to speak to his supervisor who was "too busy" - who's too busy not to offer to call me back? They told me to call back and gave me the same number I just called. Why didn't the insurance copay it not show up in 2016? I went to my insurance website to look at claims and cannot even access 2016 claims so where did they get the amount??? This is not the first billing problem I have had with them. These people are rude and I will not be ordering from them ever again. I've called my insurance company to get other providers.

I finally reused the machine as my sleep apnea was getting worse and I got a fungus mouth infection. I had my physician call three times and submit all documents three times and I continue to receive daily letters that the physician has not sent in the documentation. Decided to purchase the supplies. Cost over one thousand dollars. Payment went through and almost three weeks later they still have not sent me anything because of my not being in compliance and owing money and doctor not sending information.

    The last agent I spoke to gave me her phone and extension number to call if there were any issues and when I did so I found out that there was no way to select her extension.

    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.

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.

    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.

    On my return trip on February 12, when I regained phone service, I had a message from Apria telling me that a technician would be arriving in the morning on February 11. I had a second message after, that said that they would be arriving in the afternoon. That was just the beginning of my problem. At no time was I told that a technician would be coming. In fact, I had been told that the items would probably be sent FedEx per my conversation with their rep on February 7.

    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!

    Original Review: Feb. 14, 2019

    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.

    Original Review: Feb. 12, 2019

    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.

    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.

    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.

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!

    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.

    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.

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.

    Original Review: Feb. 5, 2019

    Updated on 04/02/2019: I initially posted a review regarding the lack of customer service on February 5, 2019. It was resolved (so I thought) on February 11, 2019 when I spoke to Amanda who authorized a 20% discount if I would pay the balance due that day. She was also the first person that could fully explain why I was billed at the amount I was along with assuring me that payments made by my former health insurance company had been applied.

    Unfortunately, there was a $55 balance that had been referred to a collection agency and she could not discount that. Therefore, I provided a credit card and paid an agreed upon amount of $570.49 plus $55. Amanda advised that she needed to put through 2 separate charges as the $55 would be forwarded to the collection agency. She then advised that once these went through, she would call me back. But if she got busy, I could call her specific customer service center at (866) 505-6365. Well, on February 28, 2019 I called the service center as I had NEVER heard back from Amanda. I spoke with Jeric ** and he confirmed that my account was at $0. I asked him to send me an email as confirmation - which he did.

    So fast forward to one week ago... I received a phone call from the collection agency asking for my $55 payment. I explained to them that I paid Apria and she stated she would check on it. I spoke to their office today (April 1) and they haven't heard from Apria (surprise surprise) and asked if I could forward a copy of my credit card statement showing the payment. I guess I will do this if I want any type of resolution. AGAIN - APRIA REALLY HAS SHOWN HOW DISORGANIZED THEIR BUSINESS IS!!!

    Original Review: I was prescribed a CPAP machine which was purchased from Apria on October 23, 2017. Apria began billing my group carrier - Anthem BC/BS. I was advised by Apria in an email that the agreement was to rent for 10 months and it would be paid in full. Anthem paid a total of 7 $55.00 payments and my coverage with them ended due to my COBRA coverage ending. Immediately, I began to receive statements asking for payment of over $750.00. When I called, I was advised that a new machine would be billed at $629. I then asked what happened to the $385 paid to them by Anthem. The Customer Service Rep stated that Apria just gets to keep that money and I start over. So in essence, I'm paying double for a machine.

    I have emailed the customer resolution department in TN and they advised me that since they are out of network with my new coverage, a claim will not be sent to them. I need this claim filed so that I can appeal it with my new carrier. While it's no guarantee that any payments would be made, I may be able to get 3 rental payments made - which would then total the 10 I was told would be needed.

    This company does not and will not provide a local contact for direct support questions or assistance. After picking up the BiPAP machine for my wife, we had problems adjusting the full face mask the Dr. ordered. Instead of giving us help with the ordered mask, they shifted my wife to a nasal mask. They put the mask on her but never ran the machine (which I brought) so we were startled by the noise the nasal mask made. The doctor ordered a reduction in the pressures to help her adjust to wearing the mask.

    Apria called and said that when the received the order they would let us know. I told them at that time we needed help adjusting the full mask the doctor ordered and they said I would be contacted. We were never contacted and now the Medicare dictated wear-it-or-lose-it period has expired so she will have to do without treatment for her severe obstructive and severe central apnea. All because local contact is forbidden by company policy. They refuse to appoint a local pulmonary therapist as a case manager. Thank you Apria.

    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!!! They charge outrageous fees (contractual with insurance companies). My TENS unit (mind you, the VERY EXACT same one) is $16.95 on the internet! Why then, do I not know it's a rental that you will charge my insurance company $28.00 a month for 10 months???

    POOR POOR customer service, just pass the buck!!! What if I had donated this TENS unit when I was finished with it???

    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.

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.

    I use a CPAP and my insurance approve replacement masks every six months. Over the last two years, most of my orders have been filled incorrectly. Apria has double billed me a couple times and I have gotten my money back. In November 2018, I redid my usual order, and approved for them to bill me $23. When I checked my bank statement, they had taken an additional $111. They billed my insurance incorrectly and refused to correct it. I ended up doing a 3-way call with my insurance and Apria. Apria admitted it was their mistake, and that they would refund my money.

    Weeks later, I hadn't received my money, so I called. They never processed a refund, they put it as a credit to my balance. That was NOT what we had agreed upon. Apria said they would give me a refund of my money and that I would have it in 5 days. It has now been 10 days and I have no refund. I just called them again, and again, it is their screw up. They said they had taken the money off my balance and had it set for refund, but somehow, it mysteriously had gotten held up in the system and not gone to the last step.

    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.

    Updated review: Aug. 13, 2019

    Apria furnished me with a portable oxygen generator about 6 months ago. They were very prompt and efficient when doing so and I was extremely happy. Just recently this machine abruptly quit. I called Apria's local office and they told me that either I could come to that office or they would send a driver to my home immediately with another machine. I opted to go to their office to pick up the machine. From the time my original machine quit until I was home again with new machine was less than an hour and a half and that included 45 minutes driving time. This company has shown me customer service that is over the top and I can't say enough good about them.

    Original Review: Jan. 16, 2019

    I was prescribed oxygen by Dr and info sent to Apria for same. 9 days later have no oxygen. I have called Apria every day for past 7 days and got a big story every time that Dr. wasn't furnishing tests. I personally was in Dr's office when they faxed the tests to Apria and then 4 days later re-faxed them and every time Apria said they never received them. When I call all I ever get is a person who has little command of the English language and they put me on hold for 15-20 minutes at a time and then state Dr's are all to blame for hold up and suggest I call Dr's. They just refuse to help at all. If you ever need oxygen, do not deal with this company.

    The DME company does not go into hospital once patient is to be discharged to service their own machines. Plus there is a lack of communication within the Harlingen office and main 1800 number people. They don’t give you statements and no courtesy call when they're going to charge your card??? I do not recommend.

    Contacted customer service. Representative was difficult to understand due to accent and rapid speech. Asked to speak to a supervisor after 22 minutes. On hold for 15 minutes. Was not connected to supervisor, but another customer service representative who could not explain why automatic bill pay went from $15 to $65. After 10 minutes the rep hung up on us. Called back and asked for supervisor. Put on hold for 15 minutes. Gave up. Worst customer service EVER!!! Why can a rep not explain why a bill increased from $15 to $65?

    Been working with this awful company to resolve a $16 balance since 11/17. They admitted they forgot to bill my insurance. I have called them numerous times. Today I was put on hold for one hour just to get transferred. Then the lady said give her 5 minutes. Another hour later and she had not come back. Guess it was her lunch time. Three hours later and I have gotten nowhere but on hold. One guy said, "It only $16 just pay it." You guys suck and should be paying me. I dare you to send me a survey.

    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." Don't know who to talk with to get information and satisfaction. They seem to have competent people taking orders, but it stops there. I wouldn't deal with them again, but they are the vendor for Kaiser, of which we are members.

    They bill insurance so they think they need to do nothing to prove their worth. I was referred by my Pulmonary specialist. I got a unit that I gave $200 down then was billed $70 per month for 6 months. A little research showed that the unit was worth retail about $350, so for 6 months I had paid $620 for a $350 unit. I returned the unit in October 2017 and purchased a used unit online for $150, that has functioned fine since.

    I was then billed another $65 for "supplies you picked up in June of last year" in the following year. I paid it, glad to be out of their grasp. In December 2018, I got another bill for $75.00 with "imagine that" now explanation. I disputed the bill, and was "immediately" sent to collections. ONE BILL!!! I am 60 years old and basically debt free. I will fight this bill and collection (if I ever really receive a bill) to the death. I would not buy a roll of toilet paper from these people as I don't think they have the integrity to provide such an important product, they obviously do not have a handle on what they do "provide."

They lied and said it would be here in 5 days numerous times. It was in transit but no tracking number. Insisted on tracking number, waited forever, told backlog at manufacture in California, hadn't even been shipped! Said I would get it soon.

    Again, 3-4 weeks later, called today and admitted error. They will ship rush. I have asked to talk to someone in authority. I would want to know if my company was run this poorly. I was cut off from chat several times also. It is apparent certain depts do all they can so management is not aware of their incompetence and lack of ability to resolve a problem. Will not transfer you for a resolution or give you a name or address for a complaint. Will see how many days it takes from today's call. Told me I could lodge a complaint online, but did not find where on site. Go with a local company if you have a need, maybe they can resolve a problem if it arises.

Every resupply order for my CPAP masks, hoses and filters has arrived on time and has been accurate and they took care of working with the insurance company and Medicare. I only had one problem, the customer service person was soft-spoken and I had to ask him to repeat himself. Other than that my experience has been 100 percent positive so far.

    I have dealt with this company for ten years for my sleep apnea supplies. The first six years, I’d call, place order, and my equipment was delivered the next day. I’d receive a bill in a few weeks for the balance that insurance didn’t cover and that was that, the end. For the past four years, it’s been a total nightmare. Ordering is a process which takes me having my SC BCBS do a three-way call twice each year to listen in and straighten out their inept phone customer service reps' lack of information and weeks to receive supplies. They (the customer service reps) seem to be trained to elude your every concern even though they are looking at the computer screen and see what you are telling them as correct. It took me two months and roughly 7 calls to receive my complete order this, my tenth and FINAL year.

    They charged my credit card the incorrect amount, which I was telling them was incorrect the entire time BEFORE they would ship my supplies. I feel I was held hostage to paying them what they said, or I wouldn’t receive my desperately needed supplies. Now, my BCBS EO Benefits states that the amount that Apria charged me is $32.60 more than the amount we owe, which I already knew. We have filed a dispute with my credit card company, the SC Insurance Commissioner’s office, and SC BCB Shield. I am going to also file a complaint with the BBB on Monday. Although, SC BCBS has advocated for us in dealing with Apria for the past four years, it’s a shame that the insurance company has to get involved for a company to ship your potentially life threatening, required supplies. If you read through these customer complaints, you can see for yourself that they are not a reputable company.

    I would advise you to find ANY OTHER COMPANY for your services. I feel that the treatment I’ve received is due in part to the fact that my insurance company will pay for a new sleep study once every ten years. So, once you sign on with Apria for your supplies, they understand that you have to undergo a lot of unnecessary wrangling to switch companies, including possibly having to pay for another sleep study out of your own pocket, which is expensive. They then have you trapped. They seem to think that you receiving your supplies is unimportant, as if you are ordering birthday gifts, etc.

    This is a serious matter. I feel sorry for the elderly, etc, who may not have access to their online insurance info and the knowledge of what is and is not covered, etc. They are the ones potentially in a serious predicament if they choose this poorly managed company. AND, I couldn’t post this until I gave them one star. I otherwise would have given them a zero.

    Apria does not even deserve one star, but one can't submit a review here without a star rating. They provide statements and contracts that make little sense. Things don't add up. I was told I would be billed a certain amount for 10 months - in addition to the payment I made when I picked up my BIPAP machine and the money this company got from my insurance company. They have billed me beyond those 10 monthly payments, and I can't figure out what is going on. The statements they provide don't include the actual amounts of the payments I've made in many cases. I have been unable to reach a live person or log into their terrible website even though I'm registered and have an account - it keeps telling me I'm locked out and I can't get through to someone to help me.

    I've had a very hard time figuring out what I actually owe. They've left me many recorded messages that I've been unable to respond to because I can't get through to anyone when I try. They sent me to collections and I'm in the process of paying this off now just to get out of this mess, even though I'm not sure I owe what they're collecting. It all seems wrong and fraudulent. They did the same things to my husband. I'm going to contact my state attorney general's office to file a complaint. I'd encourage anyone else who's had difficulty with this company to do the same.

    I had to deal with this company from 2009 when I had my sleep studies to 2016. Every review you see on here is perfectly true. I once took my CPAP to a local Apria office to ask why the settings did not seem right. I had had to trade in my old machine for a new one. The lady told me that the settings were correct per my prescription. I asked to see the prescription. She showed me what had been scanned into my file. It was somebody else’s!!! They had used somebody else’s settings!! Another major issue was that they kept billing me up to 2016. It was sporadic.

    I finally had to come to a concrete conclusion with them in writing. The last lady recorded in their system that the last payment was indeed the last payment. I still have this information with me in case I get a bill. Listen. Use another company. Heed all these reviews. They are all true. In Decatur I had no choice but to use them. When I moved, I stopped. It was like getting rid of the devil. Their parent company is Blackstone Investment. Do research on those characters too.

I call Apria and they send me from department to department talking to people that know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. I don't know if they do this on purpose just to get you to hang up or they are really that unknowledgeable about their job. But after a couple hours of getting nowhere you do just want to hang up. Or there's the "I'll check into it and get back with you" scheme. That one never works out well either. It seems they forget all about you.

I have done everything they have asked and I am currently making payments on a outstanding balance, I am a Pre-transplant patient on required oxygen 24/7 and the local branch here in Houston still cancels my delivery of oxygen tanks every time I order them! My coordinator over my case has also reached out to Apria trying to help me get this issue resolved and it is still ongoing. I don't think Apria should be allowed to deny oxygen to a patient that is on required oxygen 24/7.

    When they are the only supplier that patient is using. I cannot leave my house now due to not having any tanks and I have 2 doctor appointments and PT this week alone! Being a pre-transplant patient rescheduling and missing appointments looks bad on me and makes the transplant team very unhappy. I better not get un-listed due to Apria not supplying me with the required oxygen needed! I will be contacting my lawyer about all of this because it does not seem right. This company does NOT care about their customers or their needs!

    If you want incompetence, deal with Apria. I wonder this company is still in business. On Nov 9, 2018 my doctor placed an order for a portable oxygen unit with a min. of 3 L flow. Two days later I was called by Apria that it would take 1 month to supply the unit, if I needed oxygen in the meantime. I said "No. I can wait". It's now Dec 31 and 6 telephone calls later, all they have supplied is a large stationary oxygen generator, one 5 ft. emergency bottle of oxygen and 6 little 1 1/2 hour bottles with a trolley. The latest promise by a Supervisor was "In latest 48 hours we call you with a delivery date of the portable unit." Well that 4 days ago, still no call. I wonder what would happen to an Apria customer who need oxygen to stay alive.

    This company was a nightmare to deal with (literally). They give false information, this company has zero integrity from top to bottom. DO NOT use this company for any service whatsoever. Oxygen tank rental or CPAP rental included. They will lie repeatedly just to get you off the phone. Lazy employees that are incompetent and unsafe to have in your families home. Honestly, I found it unsafe to even have items delivered to my parent's house if I was not present. STAY AWAY from this company.

    Have dealt with them for a year now trying to over bill me. Their biller CareCentrix said I was paid up and should not receive bills from Apria so every month I have to call and dispute the bill. CareCentrix says do not pay. Now I’ve been turned over to collections. Think it’s time to call a lawyer. Tired of this harassment when I’ve paid my bill. Also when I call Apria refuses to give me a case number.

    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.

    Do yourself a favor and do not do business with this company. It also took me days to hear back from a respiratory therapist and she was minimally helpful and argumentative. She wouldn't explain things properly. They also had me get numerous prescriptions from my doctors for simple things like tubing. Even though the prescription stated that I was to get what I needed due to the severity of my case. On all levels I would recommend staying away from Apria.

    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. She managed to go to sleep after an nebulizer treatment but was having difficulty in the morning. As of December 26th, we have not received a tank nor a phone call. Shame on this medical supply company for putting someone in such a vulnerable situation that could have been life-threatening. I would not trust them with my life. Hopefully we can find another supplier.

    Have been frustratingly dealing with them for about 7 months. Still don’t have what the doctor has ordered but, they have charged me and my insurance company plenty. The first call I ever received from them after the doctor’s submission was from a call center in China asking for my credit card number. My insurance covers all of the equipment (that they never send.) I asked how much it would cost if they did charge me. Apria actually sent me a bill for 10 times the quote after my insurance already paid them. Also, the sales people lied to my face stalling me for an hour over their mistakes. No apologies, just more lies. They consistently tell my doctor, who can get in touch with the sales representative, that he will call me. He doesn’t.

Twice I have paid them and been told the amount paid was all I owed and the equipment was mine to keep - only to be billed for more. I have gone to their office several times after phone calls have not worked. I returned their equipment - and am still receiving calls that I owe them money. I will never do business with them again.

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 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.

    Original Review: Dec. 12, 2018

    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.

Even after my insurance company called them directly and they promised immediately delivery, it was still delayed. When dealing with health issues, especially breathing problems, they should be not only caring, but professional and efficient.

    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...

    Order taking over 2 months. My mother has pulmonary fibrosis and needs oxygen 24 hours a day. She is waiting for the portable battery-operated oxygen concentrator for over a month after being approved by insurance company. The doctor sent multiple documents and I was told the unit is being ordered from the factory. 2 weeks later when I called to follow up I received a statement that we need to start over because it was taking too long and some documentation is over 30 days so it expired. Every time I call I am receiving conflicted statements. It seems like it’s just being delayed on purpose when my mother is not able to perform simple tasks without the oxygen.

    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!!!! Their rep I spoke to even suggested that I drive from my house to the nearest Apria dealer (an hour and a half away ONE way) if I needed another full tank. I have vascular necrosis and am not supposed to lift over one single pound, let alone the weight of a tank of O2. THEY are supposed to be responsible for the delivery of my oxygen, NOT ME! I can't wait until they are shut down, and I'll personally celebrate "like it's 1999"!!!!

    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.

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.

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.

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.

    For 4 months I got such a runaround from this Company for a CPAP machine. I gave them a less than 1 star rating. I posted my feelings on this forum and APRIA Healthcare people started contacting me! I was on the radar now of the higher ups of the Company! Thanks ConsumerAffairs. They got on it, and about a week later I now have my much needed medical supplies! Thank you APRIA people who got on it! Finally! 4 stars for now!

    In July I was ordered a CPAP machine through this company. My sleep study showed I stopped breathing 40 times in 1 hour! My Dr. wanted me to get on this machine as soon as possible. It is nearing the end of November and still no machine. I get the runaround when I call. The office manager at my ENT office does too. PLEASE DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS MISMANAGED NON CARING COMPANY. I HATE APRIA. THEY COULD CARE LESS IF I JUST DIED.

    Thanks for your vote!
