I've got a contact at the American Association for Homecare that might like to know about your problem. They're the largest home care lobby force in town so may have some pull... Take care, V/R, Batch

Apria told me that they do not bill insurance companies, because insurance companies do not pay for oxygen for "mere" headaches.

I've used Apria for years and haven't had a problem with them billing insurance. Just don't figure, Chuck.

Been 4 months that I've been with Apria - no problems with them billing BCBS for meee either!! Roll Eyes

Someone's talking out their - erm nm Lips Sealed

The lady from Apria obviously doesn't know her A$$ from a hole in the ground. I had my O2 paid for by 2 separate insurance co's with Apria for over 12 years.

They were not mistake free though. At first they said I could only have E-tanks, then later said I had to pay for NRB masks, then several years later refunded what I paid for the masks.

I'm curious if maybe someone mis-coded your billing at the present supplier?? Or is Blue Cross taking advantage of the current HC debate?

Or more like the exec's and administrators need a bigger bonus.

Soory this is happening to you Chuck, someone in the situation need's slapped and it's not you.

Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of the Beast , I have O2 so I fear him not.

Hell, none of my insurance will cover o2, and Medicare will NOT pay for o2 if it is 'headache related' no matter what.

So, Praxair just kept delivering and delivering without a statement or anything... til I got a bill for 1'300 dollars!!!

Been fighting the logistics, and right now paying 150 bucks a month under a 'hardship' clause due to my income, but apparently the billing department didn't get the fucking memo.

Latest bill: 1'578.00 dollars.
PRAXAIR & MEDICARE SUCK!!!!

Living proof that busting can turn a chronic to episodic!

Live each day as if it were your last because one day, you will be right.
