This is the best story.
I had 2 sleep studies done and they both said that I had sleep apnea. To correct the problem they wanted me to get a CPAP. A CPAP is a pressurized breathing machine.
The company that supplies the CPAP charges $300 a month to rent the machine. The cost to me was 20%. The insurance company agreed to rent the machine for a few months and then purchase it. The cost of purchasing the machine was $1200 and an additional $200 for the mask.
After like 4 or 5 months of renting the machine and then purchasing the machine the insurance company paid out like $2400 for the machine. The cost out of my pocket was about $600.
I looked up the price of the machine online and it's listed for about $660.
