A Nightmare!
The support for the ring itself was fine, and it seems to work pretty well for diagnosing sleep apnea. There were some challenges with fit (size of ring was slightly smaller than the ring test size appliances due to the protrusion for sensor) The initial experience was fine, they processed my insurance properly, and were attentive to my messages. The problem came when I got a call asking if I would like to use their company to deliver and fit a mouthguard for mild sleep apnea. I agreed and shelved out $1,300 for the care and appliance to get that done. The payment was made through HFD, a 3rd party finance company which offered 6 months same as cash. Then the circus began. They were using a company called Dentulu to do virtual dental visits. The customer service and quality of care was sub-par, the scheduling, the communication very poor. The appliance itself was horrible, and I worked with them to send it back to make adjustments, but it had bands on the sides which attached with large protrusions, and when placed in my mouth made it hard for me to close my mouth, thereby causing me to sleep with my mouth open and totally drying out my mouth, of course! After sending it back and working virtually with the dentist and lab several times, it was still not acceptable. This took so long, several months, so that when I did my 6 month follow up with the sleep doctor there was nothing to review, as I did not have a properly fitted working device! I was then informed by Dentulu that I could receive a refund for the oral device. I contacted Happy Sleep to ask for that refund. At first they told me they could not find my payment. I had paid off the entire balance of the financed amount by then, and when I logged into HFD for my balance to show them, it showed a missed payment, which was added AFTER I had paid the balance well before the 6 month term was up. I've called HFD several times, they have sent me a letter confirming my payment was made in full, yet in their system there is still a missed payment showing, and they have not resolved that. I am concerned about that not being corrected. The Happy Sleep people keep telling me a "refund is being processed" but they use a 3rd party again, apparently and they have been unable to speed up the process. It's been over a month now since I requested a refund and I still have no idea how much it will be and how long it will take. I have no direct contact for the company processing the refund. I just keep being sent assurance by Happy Sleep's customer service "this issue is a priority and thank you for your patience." So, due to all of this, I do not recommend Happy Sleep's Ring for anything except the actual diagnosis of sleep apnea. If they reach out to you to arrange care after that I would run for the hills! Get your oral appliance through a local dentist, or a C-Pap through your PCP. I'm left having lost $1,300 and have no device, and still have to deal will this billing issue with HFD. I'm a Health and Wellness Coach working in Functional Medicine, and I know sometimes there are glitches and problems to work out with medical companies, but this has been a very bad experience, except for the actual ring diagnosis.
