Guest guest Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Hello everyone Just a note about Apria. You know how much trouble some of us have had with them...especially me and Joyce. Well, something new has happened. Apria states it was a Corporate decision: Apria will no longer provide liquid oxygen to patients. Because of the increased fuel and delivery men wages. It is not profitable for them. So, they have made the decision that if you are now on liquid oxygen, that they will replace liquid with a new concentrator which will handle high flow. That way it will not have to be refilled etc. Here's my problem with this. Concentrated oxygen was not good enough for me. I needed and still need liquid. And, portable oxygen tanks do not go high enough or last long enough for anyone to go to the Dr., church, etc. Apria states that if you need this much oxygen, then you do not need to be leaving the house. Well...if they think we will just let them arbitrarily make us housebound..well they need to think again. My husband will go to the local TV station, write letters and do whatever is necessary. He has already called Cigna to complain and he is writing a letter. He will also contact an attorney. Apria said a letter will be delivered to us probably tomorrow, and will tell us how much time we have to appeal, although they do not think an appeal will do anything. As we were told. THIS IS A CORPORATE DECISION! Apria!!!! I get so tired of fighting with them. So very tired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
