Apria delivers our o2, and last week they tried to bring in a refill system that works with our concentrators. Instead of the little take- along tanks, they were going to leave a huge tank that was to be used at home for emergencies, so they wouldn't have to deliver 02. When I spoke to an employee on the phone previously, I was told to expect small tanks to be used outside the home. No more home delivery of 02. I'm on 3-4 liters so don't qualify for that, but hubby does. We refused the big tank thingy, and the driver said that most people are refusing them. Talk about mass confusion??? To top it off, the unit does not shut off automatically and you have to babysit this thing! But the paper work says different. So everyone would save bucks but us. Its our dime filling the darned things and our dime cooling the house, as if the concentrator alone doesn't make enough heat.
Wish someone knew what was going on. Afraid its going to be bad news no matter how it goes.
Years ago, when I mentioned to my dad about the air still being free, he said, "give it time, someone will figure out a way to put a meter on our backs".
