"I have had a myriad of problems since day one with this company! \r\nMy doctor sent me to Lincare in Piqua. Ohio back in December of 2023. I had to go to a class showing how to use my equipment before they would let me have it. My bank deposited my paycheck check into our business checking account, so I didn\u2019t have enough to pay the initial amount. The instructor came into the room & loudly announced that information to the whole class. Embarrassed, I handed her another card to process for that. Within 2 weeks, I received the paperwork from my insurance telling me what my portion was. It was $120 LESS than what Lincare charged me. I contacted them & was basically told that they bill whatever they want. \r\nIn January, our insurance changed. I sent my new insurance information to them no less than 6 times. They didn\u2019t change it, but continued to harass me. \r\nAfter the FINALLY changed it, the charges started appearing on my insurance account. They are charging my insurance for basically 2 separate machines. It\u2019s ONE machine that includes a humidifier\u2026it can\u2019t be used unless the little cup is in machine because it\u2019s ONE machine! Then, I see charge upon charge for supplies. I\u2019ve received 2 masks that are the wrong size\u2026they\u2019ve charged for 3\u2026and the cost for these products are marked up 200%! My co-pay is MORE than what it costs to buy from Amazon! They\u2019ve sent other pieces once, but they\u2019ve charged more than once. I\u2019ve notified my insurance company about that. \r\nMy insurance company has the option to pay my portion through them. I have been doing that. As of last week, I don\u2019t owe these people anything, but they charged my card for $278.75 yesterday! They were only authorized to take the first amount out. They also didn\u2019t even charge my insurance company that amount! It\u2019s more than $100 more than they charged my insurance company! My insurance company said I owed $16 this month\u2026and that was already paid. \r\nTheir customer service is a joke! Rudest people in the world both on the phone AND in person! I have written BBB & the Attorney General\u2019s office. They have already been sued for over-charging Medicare, why weren\u2019t they investigated for overcharging those that have private insurance? \r\n\r\nSteer clear of this company!"

“I have no problem with their supplies but their customer service is at best incompetent, and at worst manipulative and malicious. Not only do they call and email multiple times daily until you reorder supplies, but when you ignore their calls they just keep calling and when you call them back to say, no thank you I have sufficient supplies for 90 days they ask when they should call again.. so I said 90 days Hung up and I got another email immediately telling me it's time to reorder supplies. It's as if they're saying if you call to complain we're just going to do it more.”

“If you value your life or the lives of your family DO NOT use this company. They do not provide oxygen supplies timely for oxygen dependent patients. It is unclear how they have not been sued for their negilience. How a medical equipment company could treat vulnerable people with such disregard for their health and safety is shameful. Most people should complain to their insurnace and maybe our insurance would stop using them and find an alternative that does not endanger the lives of our families and loved ones.”

“First I did not select Lincare to do business with, since most retailers in my area do not accept Medicare/Tricare, but I had no choices. I was reluctant to use them, because of past issues with oxygen services, which in the end forced me to purchase my owm portable concentrators and home concentrators at $10K. Now I needed a new power chair. Medicare/tricare pay for it but I learned its like a rental, and if they pay it off before I die than fine its mine to keep, but if I die before 10 years ? , they will be back to take it. So it took about 1.5 months to get the chair, I requested a blue chair, they delivered a red chair. They did not prepare the chair for delivery, and the power cable was just dangling, the delivery driver acted like he did not know what to do, so I routed and tie wraped the cable myself. Of course I had to make all the adjustments to the chair but with the exception of the arms they should have been done. The chair was also missing one dust cap for a rear caster, so for now I am using duct tape, and hope they respond to my email for a replacement. I have to say, the customer service really hasn't improved in the last few years. They required me to sign a lot of papers, but did not have copies for me, I also requested those by email. When they finally delivered it it was one week late based on the projected date of delivery. I am happy just to have the chair since my old one was 20 years old and a tire was dry rotted leaving pieces all over my floor. Due to customer service they rate 3 stars. I hope they respond to my email.”

“Since retiring from the military I changed healthcare and no longer receive or use CPAP supplies from Optigen also known as Lincare. I turned in this equipment 9/1/2022 and the company continues to bill both my insurance and myself for equipment no longer in possession. I have reported insurance fraud with my medical coverage provider and opened a BBB claim that has went unanswered to date. When contacting the Optigen/Lincare I’m frequently bounced around departments from billing to supply and one customer service agent to another as the agents behave clueless in an attempt to collect fraudulent funds from a permanent disable veteran to continue to monetize their business. I sincerely hope that the insurance providers will seize to use Optigen/Lincare as one the approved CPAP suppliers and they do not have the best interest of Veterans in mind. All customer service agents I have spoken to since 9/1/2022 have fabricated actions they took on my account, to include returning equipment, refund for overpayment and continue to bill for supplies today 5/18/2022 9 months after equipment was turned in. This has been a frustrating experience as they send letters of past due amounts for unauthorized équipement.”

“If I could give less than one star I would. They sent a tech who had never done the repair necessary for my dad's concentrator. Also sent her with no tools for the repair. My elderly father read the instructions and provided her the necessary equipment to fix it. His mobile unit needed a repair. The substitute unit was supposed to last four hours and it lasted one. He ran out of air while doing errands. The substitute's replacement did the same thing. One hour!! These are just a few of the dangerous practices this company has done in the last three weeks. They take forever to fix anything. Shoddy equipment. Terrible company who does not care about sick people. Go elsewhere.”

“The manager is a dirty, rotten liar who doesn't give a rat's ass about patients' health or well being. Had to fight since Feb 23 to get them to look at my CPAP. In March, my appt came and went- rep never showed. I had to contact their troubleshooting number who got them to Come back and get the machine. Unfortunately ny autistic. Son accidentally answered the door and the dog ran out. Rep ran in fear and told her boss she wasn't coming back. I prepared the Ring Cam footage to show that the dog RAN OUT OF THE HOUSE and was no where near her. The finally agreed to come back. They rep came and picked it up from the front steps. I was told they would contact me in a few days. A week later, no call. When I called, they Said bubbles in the chanbee were normal. I said that's freaking awesome but ITS THE HUMIDIFIER THAT BROKE. What a bunch of IDIOTS. First of April they said have doc send a new order, which they did. Lincare denied getting it when I called 2 weeks later. Doc called again ans finally, Lincare said they got it. April 20th they then said no they didn't have order. I called on April 24th and they said they got the order (eyeroll) and sent it to get authorized to insurance. It is May 3 and I called the insurance company. Lincare. In a shocking turn of events, NEVER SUBMITTED it. You can't reach these bridge trolls on the phone because they are too smug to bother to answer. I haven't had my capacity since FEBRUARY because of these incompetent MORONS. I have a very high capacity for bull rap as a middle school teacher but these idiots take the cake. My insurance company is helping me find a new company and I hope these idiots all get what they deserve. Do you know that people can get AFIB from being without their cpap?? My heart has been fluttering lately. I have fallen asleep at work. I can't FUNCTION. Someone needs to take over these people. Stay away!”

“This is a TERRIBLE company to deal with. I would not recommend them to anyone!!!!! Do not let hospitals talk you into using this company. The billing department is taking advantage of customers and the wait time to talk to a real person was 30 minutes. The guy that delivered the equipment had no idea what he was doing and was not helpful at all when explaining how to use the equipment.”

“My mom had one of their nebulizers. It took me over an hour of being on hold with various transfers to ask if they wanted it back when she died. They said yes, that we would be charged and they would call me to arrange pickup. I gave them my number and told them mom was dead. When I next got to mom's house, they had left a message on her phone asking to talk to her. I have now been on hold again for almost an hour to try to talk to these idiots again.”

“I am dealing with a broken oxygen concentrator making an awful racket, sounding as if it will fall apart at any given moment, but according to the technician.....'It's not an emergency". Maybe it has to blow up first!”

“Lincare is the worst company to have. If you need help with anything. Their customer service is terrible from day one. Good luck if you have a billing question. You will wait on hold for hours just to be transferred to a department that tells you they cannot help you and that you need to speak with billing. They are rude and take advantage. They have no desire to help their customers at all. I wish I would of never gone through them. I cannot wait until my year lease is up and I own the equipment and can switch companies. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. THEY ARE NOT WORTH THE STRESS OR HEADACHES OR HOURS OF HOLD TIME YOU HAVE TO WAIT TO SPEAK TO THEM EACH MONTH WHEN THEY ARE THE ONES TO MESS SOMETHING UP!!!!!!!”

“2 out of 3 of my CPAP orders are wrong. They are a horrible company to deal with. On my last 2 orders they sent only part of the headgear. I returned it and never received a complete set of headgear. They are a mess of stress to deal with. Long phone waits, barely cognizant representatives.”

“Lincare was first contact for my order, in early May 2022. I received a prescribed machine mid-September. I am now trying to get adjustments made because the machine doesn’t work properly. Now in October, I am being called several times a day. For supplies on an un-usable product. Again today Oct.8th, I am trying to get Lincare to provide service for a un-usable product. Called 8 times. Transferred 4 times and disconnected every time after a lengthy wait.”

“The Felton Lincare has my c-pap supplies so screwed up. It is bad enough that Medicare will only allow one cushion per month in a 3 month period and then lincare sends the wrong supplies. I'm getting supplies for some items in one month and others in another month every 90 days. Come on people your fooling around with supplies for people who have breathing issues!!!!”
