I work for this company and know that this information is not accurrate in it's nature. First of all this is NOT a TENS!!! This is for an Interferential/neuromuscular stimulator and is much different than a TENS unit in what it is used for and what it is trying to accomplish!
Funny thing with this report is that this patient states that they "stuck this in their closet and forgot about it." Then they fast forward a year later and get a bill for $4000.00. Is Zynex responsible for this patients stupidty? This patient was having monthly supplies sent to them, why did they not call and stop the supplies and also try to return a product that was not working for them? This patient could have returned the unit after they realized this was not working and had a bill of only a couple hundred dollars. This patient is mad for their own laziness and ignorance while trying to blame the world for their problems. Did this patient ever check their insurance to see what might pay? What ever happened to the Explanation of Benefits that was sent by this patients ins. company that stated their responsibility? Did the patients attorney ever attempt to call to negotiate this bill? Was this even the price the patient PAID?
This patient states that the sales representative that gave them the unit made no mention of price or that they would have to pay. The representative stated this would come out of their settlement. This is true and I guess this patient had the belief that this was a gift from the Tooth Fairy or that Santa Claus was going to take care of this for them. Heck everyone knows that MEDICINE IS FREE in this country or this person thought they were going to sue for a mountain of money. Did this patient ever ask what the cost of such service might be? I know for a fact that Zynex has negotiated bills under certain circumstances for different insurance cases. ZYNEX is known for giving NO OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE TO THE PATIENT.
This person states that when they looked up this company there are several fraud reports and they reported this company to the FBI. What a joke!!! I was out sick for a week and searched daily on the internet looking for such cases. I FOUND THESE REPORTS ONLY AND NO OTHERS! There is a class action lawsuit at the moment because Zynex had to restate their earnings because of downturns in the business and circumstance for a short period of time. REMEMBER: In America you are supposed to be considered innocent until proven guilty! My belief is that Zynex will prevail in this lawsuit or I would not be doing business with them and would be looking for a new job. I am not looking and I have confidence in Zynex and it's management.
Over the past 15 years, I have worked in the electrical therapy industry and know that the cost associated with this product is NOT out of line for the product this patient more than likely received. I have worked for companies where the expense was even higher. There are different modalities used by way of different products that give different results for different health issues. Some of these products can even be several times this expense depending on the severity of the patient's condition or needs. You can always buy something less expensive that is made of inferior quality. This patient does NOT know what they are talking about and is angry at their own lack of knowledge of medicine, the system and responsibility! They are responsible for asking the questions that are associated with their financial responsibilty regarding their insurance and legal issues.
It is a shame that reports such as this get published when companies like Zynex and others do a wonderful job of helping people relieve pain and increase their function of daily activities. Many thousands of patients are given relief from pain with such devices. This comes from Zynex and other competitors that help doctors help their patients. This product was given to this patient under the direction of their doctor. This doctor obviously has seen the benefit of this product that has been around for years.
The bottom line is this patient should have returned the product instead of sticking it in the closet for a year!
