Re: Need N. California Referral - Respiratory Equipment Vendor

I have used Lincare for many of my patients traveling outside the Houston area

(and in Houston as well) and they have been quite dependable. I think they are

in your area.

Good luck.

Need N. California Referral - Respiratory Equipment Vendor

Hi Folks,

I'm looking for referrals to a good respiratory equipment vendor. I

was very frustrated by Apria, found Quest to me completely unreliable,

and Timberlake doesn't provide the machines I use.

I use a Respionics PLV 102b during the day on my chair and am willing

to switch the type and/or brand, and at night I use a Respironics NEV -

100.

I have excellent employer-sponsored health insurance. Do you have any

recommendations?

Thank you!

I got my bi-pap from these guys, but I don't know if they will ship equipment or

if they have anything by you:

Alana,

Since you use Respironics equipment why don't you just have them deliver it to

you. Right now I'm approved for 3 vents (the PLV-100) and they can have one

here in 6 to 24 hours by Fed-Ex or sometimes even Greyhound Bus. I get the

circuits and other things from Northwest Medical out of Portland OR but the 2

companies work closely together. I can call them 24/7 or email during business

hours and get a response within 15 minutes. As you know I live in Southwest

Oregon. Just a few hours drive from you.

Hi Alana,

I had problems with Apria too--they stopped covering

all people on Medi-Cal so I was forced to find another

vendor which took several months. I'm now with

Pacific Pulmonary Services. Here's the link:

to know there's good people out there.

Yes, I've talked to a lot also. I like being able to communicate with

them by email. I always get an answer within a few minutes from or

.if it is business hours.And they do have someone to answer the phone 24/7.

I'm glad you found a vendor you are comfortable with.
