Not only are the prices nearly double what I can buy for through Amazon, the hoses are not even genuine ResMed... they are billing close to $30 for cheap hoses that I can get online for like $5 or $6... and even the genuine ResMed hoses are available for under $10.
Of course, Apria is such a pain to deal with that I often buy my own supplies anyways.
But does Kaiser tell you what they actually pay Apria for those supplies? I only had an HMO for a couple of years about 15 years ago, but back then they refused to tell me what they actually paid a provider, told me that that information was confidential and I wasn't entitled to it.
