Purchasing a Vest

I would love a vest but unfortunately the house deposit fund would be too severely depleted if I bought one outright! I believe there are a few in Australia in Sydney or Melbourne, but I am not sure. I'd contact my local CF association to find out.

the actual unit itself is what has to sometims be returned dependong on two factors: 1-if your insurance bought it outright or is payign on it 2-if you get a new hillrom from hillrom of course you have to return it as getting a newer model you just have ot pay an upgrade fee ~3000 last I knew.

Since I got a hillrom paid for outright by an old insurnace company my employer dumped I am actually own it and my current insurance company doesnt even know I have it--stricly need to know basis <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif" border="0">, sooo I get to keep mine.

Really Melissa? They take back the old one? I haven't had them do that, but it has been a while since I ordered one- I am due, thanks for the reminder <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> . Maybe they didn't want it back since I had to get a new one due to "cat pee" lol.</end quote></div>

Our clinic is coordinating with Hill Rom to get get everyone upgraded so when Hill Rom contacted me they told me the machine would have to be turned in even tho it was "paid in full" by a completely different insurance then who we are using now.

As stated this is not the vest tho. Just the machine.
