What Is AdaptHealth and Why You’re Getting a Bill
Before we jump into how to pay your bill, let’s talk about who AdaptHealth is. If you’re wondering why you’re getting a bill from them instead of Verus Healthcare, here’s the scoop
AdaptHealth is a network of medical equipment companies that provide home healthcare products and services. They acquired Verus Healthcare, which is why your bills now come from AdaptHealth rather than Verus.
They specialize in providing:
- Respiratory health supplies and equipment
- Sleep health products (like CPAP machines and supplies)
- Diabetes health supplies
- Wellness at home equipment
So if you’ve received medical equipment or supplies for home use, that’s likely why you’re getting a bill from them.

Other Ways to Pay Your AdaptHealth Bill
Not a fan of online payments? No worries! There are other options available:
By Phone
You can call the phone number listed directly on your statement. This will connect you with your local service center who can take your payment over the phone.
By Mail
If you prefer to mail in your payment, you can send it to the address listed on your statement. Just make sure to:
- Include your invoice number on your check
- Allow enough time for mail delivery
- Consider using tracking if it’s a large payment
Setting Up AutoPAY for Hassle-Free Billing
If you’re like me and tend to forget due dates, setting up AutoPAY might be your best bet. AdaptHealth offers an AutoPAY option that automatically charges your preferred payment method when your bills are due.
This is super convenient if you:
- Regularly receive supplies or rentals
- Have ongoing services with AdaptHealth
- Want to avoid late payments
- Just hate having to remember to pay bills manually
To set this up, you’ll likely need to contact customer service or check their FAQs section on the billing page.
Understanding Your AdaptHealth Statement
Sometimes the most confusing part isn’t paying the bill—it’s understanding what you’re being charged for! Here’s a quick breakdown of what you might see on your statement:
- Equipment charges: Costs for any medical equipment you’ve purchased or rented
- Supply charges: Recurring costs for supplies like CPAP masks, tubing, or diabetes testing strips
- Insurance information: What portion your insurance covered
- Patient responsibility: The amount you actually need to pay
- Due date: When your payment needs to be received
If something looks off on your bill, don’t hesitate to contact them! Billing mistakes happen more often than you might think.
Insurance and AdaptHealth Billing
AdaptHealth works with many insurance companies, including:
- Medicare
- Medicaid
- Kaiser Permanente
- Humana
- And many other private insurers
However, just because they accept your insurance doesn’t mean everything will be covered 100%. Your out-of-pocket costs will depend on:
- Your specific insurance plan
- Your deductible status
- Whether the equipment is considered medically necessary
- If proper authorization was obtained
It’s always a good idea to check with both AdaptHealth AND your insurance company if you have questions about coverage.
What If I Can’t Pay My Bill?
Healthcare costs can get overwhelming, and sometimes you might find yourself unable to pay a bill in full. If that happens, don’t panic! AdaptHealth may offer:
- Payment plans: Breaking down your balance into smaller, manageable payments
- Financial assistance: Depending on your situation
- Billing adjustments: In some cases
The key is to communicate with them before your bill becomes delinquent. Most healthcare providers, including AdaptHealth, would rather work with you than send your account to collections.
Common Billing Issues and How to Resolve Them
Even with the best systems, billing problems can occur. Here are some common issues and how to handle them:
Wrong Amount on Your Bill
If you believe you’re being charged incorrectly, gather any documentation you have (like insurance EOBs or prior communications) and contact the number on your statement.
Duplicate Billing
Sometimes you might receive multiple bills for the same service. Contact customer service with both invoice numbers to have this resolved.
Insurance Didn’t Pay As Expected
If your insurance paid less than anticipated, you may need to contact both AdaptHealth and your insurance company to resolve the discrepancy.
Bill Received for Returned Equipment
If you’ve returned equipment but are still being billed, contact customer service with proof of return (like a receipt or tracking number).
