Guest guest Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 I don’t think anyone can just “rent”. The RX from your dr. comes first. Then after they let you know how you stand money wise, a person will come to the house to show you how to use it. If you decide not to keep it, they will come and get the machine. You never just own it. Perhaps that is what is meant by renting it. This is the procedure in fl. USA, at any rate. From: bronchiectasis [mailto:bronchiectasis ] On Behalf Of bvendig@...

I have it because the insurance is paying for it, but I have never experienced any noticeable results from using it. I use a decongestant daily and when needed, Mucinex which containing 600mg. of Guaifenesin. For me, they are only a temporary band-aid until the mold gets to the point where it can be detected and then it is time for an antibiotic or VFend. Nothing else will clear it up.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 I will own my Vest in a few months. After going through a long appeal process with the insurance company, it was finally decided that the Vest was medically necessary. A 15 month payment plan was set up (of which I pay 20%) and then it’s mine. And it’s warranteed for life. Barb Re: theVest In a message dated 2/8/2008 12:06:18 P.M.
