Just a comment to the group that I thought some
would find useful. (and some of you probably already know this)
We are going for our first upgrade to the IMAX. This PALS has a
DV5 Max that was ordered last year.
One item to note: When you order the IMAX attachment, you need
an upgrade in memory. If this upgrade was not ordered with the
original purchase of the DV5 Max, there is a $450.00 charge for the
upgrade.
If an upgrade is ordered when a 5 is ordered, the charge is
$175.00. So, bottom line is for all the 5 orders, if you think this
person may eventually need an IMAX attachment, you should order the upgrade
in advance. This is not going to be funded by Medicare, so it will be
an out of pocket expense.
Just thought I should put that out there for the group.
Thanks,
Alisa
