$1900 for NMES machine??

Post by kelli_ »

Does this sound right? This is the quote I got for a BMR NT2000-NMES machine. Is it that great of a machine? I have seen a TENS/NMES by EMS for $175.00. So, why such a big diff in price? Any luck getting insurance to pay some of it?
Thanks,
Kelli

i have an empi epix xl 9000 machine which cost 900 dollars, it's now almost 2 years old. id say that you just need to make sure that the tens you buy has the features that you will need for its intended use. the insurance paid for 3/4 of it.
good luck

We bought ours several years ago, but this sounds about right...not sure why the price discrepancy though. Insurance did cover it, but they dilly-dallyed around with it so long that I paid up front then got reimbursed. I have a theory about insurance companies: they make it incredibly difficult for us in hopes we give up. Don't do it!
