My husband and I went to Integrity Treatment Solutions to purchase a travel CPAP and a new home CPAP for my husband. This company behaved dishonestly on both purchases. I will separate the complaints for clarity.
1) The owner, David Krepp, explained that he had prepared a travel cpap for a guy who changed his mind about taking a trip and cancelled the order. He would sell the Z2 machine to us for a bargain price of only $400, since he had already taken it out of the box. Otherwise, he explained, the machine had not been used and was perfect. He said he couldn't find the owner's manual, but would make us copies of one.
When we got the machine home, we determined (with only a half hour online) that we had received the the Z1 model, not the Z2. We were also missing the Q-tube Muffler (the main ingredient for the Z2 and a quieter machine), the USB Cable (for online charting), an extra filter, the 2 year warranty, and the owner's manual. We also determined that the machine looked used (maybe their floor model?). When checking online prices, we realized we could purchase a brand new machine in the correct box with all the extras for around $400...so this was not a deal.
2) We also attempted to purchase a home CPAP machine that day. We spent 2-3 hours waiting to hear about our insurance to cover it. Integrity Treatment Solutions uses Nationwide Medical, Inc to handle the medical insurance for their machines. Nationwide Medical, along with Integrity Treatment Solutions attempted to mislead us by reporting that our insurance had a $5,000 deductible. In reality, our insurance has a zero copay and zero out of pocket for durable medical equipment (which is the CPAP category). We came close to signing a contract to pay a set up cost of $334.12, plus an estimated monthly rental cost of $39.56 for 36 months. Instead we went home and called our insurance company who said that they never gave Nationwide Medical that false information.
When I read the Better Business Bureau's complaints about Nationwide Medical, I saw that many others have similar complaints about unnecessary billing and paying for medical equipment that their insurance could have easily covered. Nationwide goes through other suppliers, such as Integrity Solutions, which makes it more difficult to pin down who takes responsibility.
When I returned the following day to return the Z1 to Integrity Solutions, I was told by Kim that they were Christians and David would lose sleep over his mistake. I wasn't taken in. When confronted about the insurance error, she blamed Nationwide to get off the hook.
I do not recommend using this company for any purchases. Should you already be a victim of a scam at this facility or through Nationwide Medical, please take the time to report fraud through the National Insurance Crime Bureau to put an end to this business taking advantage of older people. read more
