inCourage Vest question

For those of you that have the inCourage vest, did you have to order it directly from RespirTech??

They are not a preferred provider with my insurance company, which would mean that I would have to cover 30% of the cost and a $650. deductible. If I can get it at an in-network provider, then they would cover 100% after a $150 deduct, which sounds like a much better scenario to me!
I do have Medicare as secondary, and I think they would cover the 30%, but I'm not sure on any of the deductible??

I assume that I can only get it through RespirTech direct, but thought I'd see how others have obtained it.

Call up Respirtech and ask them why they're out of Network with your provider.

They should do a better job with managed care to get on your Preferred Provider list.

Maybe you can try approaching this from that angle instead <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
