Lifecare Solutions
Why does a CPAP machine cost 4-6 times as much when purchased through a health insurance "benefit"? Are there kickback payments between insurance companies and DMEs, such as Lifecare Solutions?

Health & Medicine

Who else has experienced the very high cost of the rent-to-own CPAP machine? I'm able to sleep using my CPAP machine. However, Lifecare Solutions has been paid $356.18 by United Healthcare insurance company, and I've paid them $936.19. That's a total of $1,184.21 - for the exact same product I can buy (brandnew) for $359!!! Whos getting rich on all this extra money go??? In the contract between Lifecare Solutions and United Healthcare, does Lifecare Solutions kickback money to United Healthcare? Does Lifecare Solutions pay doctors to prescribe their equipment? Is this legal??? Is anyone protecting the consumer? Or at least informing them of this ripoff? I have lots of questions, but not the answers. A quick google search using the words CPAP and overpayment indicates many, many other people have grossly overpaid for CPAP machines.
