I recently moved to the Plattsburgh NY area. I needed assistance with CPAP issues and questions. The team there was wonderful and very helpful. The whole team went out of their way to assist. Alex, Sam, Johnny, Sarah, Amanda were all outstanding and so helping. I can't say enough about this group of people. I will be a loyal customer and tell everyone I know who needs CPAP's to visit Lincare!!

I can't even begin to explain how terrible LinCare has been. I am forced to go there for CPAP supplies by my insurance company. If I had a choice I would leave. They sat on the prescription for me replacement cpap machine so long that now I need another doctor's visit to get a new one. First they had excuses about it being on backlog. Then they simply lost my order entirely. When I finally got through to someone who could "help" me they said "Oh, now your prescription is to old. You need another one" and told me to pound sand. Their phone processes appear to be designed to give you a headache. When it is time for refills on gear I swear I have to answer 100 questions before they will even take 'I don't need any this month" for an answer. If you have ANY choice in the matter avoid at all costs. The place is a clown show and no matter what your ailment is they will add high blood pressure to the list.

Horrible billing department. I had been paying my co pay for my bipap for almost a year. My employer changed insurance companies and Lincare said my DME was no longer covered. My insurance company laughed when I told them this as sleep apnea treatment is definitely covered. Rather than deal with the billing department any further, the local Lincare office told me that if I paid a certain amount, then I would own my machine outright. So I paid that amount to the billing department on October 21, 2023. Now, on December 15, 2023, I get a letter telling me that my account is 60 days past due in the amount of $59.35. That I am delinquent and should pay immediately. I had requested an itemized bill prior to making that final payment in October and was told to just go online. I have been on bipap since 2004 and this is the 3rd DME company (and absolute worst DME company) that I have ever dealt with. As a home health care registered nurse, I have dealt with DME companies for my patients and thought Lincare would be ok. Never! I will never deal with Lincare again and I will make sure my patients hear about my experience when choosing a DME company!

The San Louis Obispo California lincare was some of the most uncaring rude people. They were notified in advance about my travel arrangements. I tried to explain to them i couldn’t give them an exact ETA because of traveling by car and stoping to rest along the way . I called them several times and spoke to the same woman at least twice letting them know where I was and let them know I would arrive on Tuesday. Unfortunately I did not get the people in the office name I spoke to. The person told me it would be no problem to exchange my empty tanks for full ones so I could make it to my next stop on my trip . When I arrived they made out like I was a lier and had never spoken to them . I have stage 4 COPD and they couldn’t care less if I had oxygen or not . Stated they had a shortage in tanks they would not exchange tanks with me because they would not let the individuals on their route go without tanks . So what would I do without o oxygen tanks ??? They didn’t care They told me they could not help me . Luckily there was a great professional office in Bakersfield CA 2.3 hours away that helped me with no issues. This caused me to lose 5 hours of visiting time with my daughter that I may not see for a long time . Shame on you San Louis Obispo lincare .

Lashondra was very professional and helped update my account and fix the bill to a zero balance since the contract was 'bought out' by new Medicare insurance company who was awarded the contract away from Lincare. It's good to know that despite some bad reviews, not everyone is bad in this company and my local office is a good one. Though billing did take 5-10 minutes before live representative answered. She did a great job.

They will keep charging you and torture you by not answering calls, drop call, transfer from one to another until you are desperate and end up paying something you didn't ask for just to have your life back. Simple as that. Don't do business with this company.

I had a miserable experience with this company. i had a high deductible, and ended up having to pay their inflated and unreasonable fees. for example, they billed me for a part of the CPAP device, the humidifying chamber, separately. I ended up paying at least $250 for a small piece of plastic. if i had done some basic research, i would definitely have gone elsewhere, but my sleep doctor's office recommended them. my usual company wasn't willing to authorize the device that i needed, which explains how i got into this nasty situation. Of course, their marketing person is very persuasive. At this point I convinced them to recommend other suppliers, but unfortunately, it's too late for me. this company had to pay a fine of $29 million (!!!) to Medicare due to over charging the government. why they're still in business is a total mystery to me. well, maybe not - they must have paid off somebody. Do yourself a big favor and STAY AWAY!!!!!

Dealing with Lincare has been one of the worst experiences in my 30+ years as a patient. I also have not encountered any similar operations during my work as a physician. This company is disorganized, unethical, and entirely incapable of identifying and rectifying their errors. I have paid them and zeroed out my account twice, only to receive phone calls and invoices asking for more payments. I have given them confirmation codes which they claim they cannot track down. by all means do your best to stay away from this company - you will lose your shirt with these folks. and for some reason the better business bureau has been unwilling to take action. that's probably due to their well-funded lobbyists, who unfortunately donate to our representatives. This seems to keep them out of trouble. But the Internet is more accurate - do yourself a big favor and find other companies for your health needs.

Would give zero stars if possible. It's bad to be a customer but worse to be an employee. Unprofessional area manager. So nothing will improve.

I order my oxygen cylinders on time. Most times the delivery person does not have what i requested. Today i was supposed to get 6 c cylinders but i got a call Lincare has no c tanks. They will come tomorrow after being closed last week on my delivery day. I have about a hour of oxygen to be away from home today. How does a oxygen delivery service have no cylinders. I got shorted ladt delivery also. Frustrating!

Good afternoon, I would like to share with you that Ray, my delivery man has helped myself and husband so much. he takes time to explain everything to us and never fails to make sure we have all that we need to make life comfortable with all the things we need. He deserves to be greatly appreciated. Also, Tasha and Zemora, the ladies in office are a great too they really take great care of us and our needs. I am so pleased with our team in Rapid City. they deserve alot of praise. Thank you Wayne and Roni Straub Edgemont SD

4 out of 5 times they never showed up for a scheduled delivery of my Oxygen. I only live 2 blocks away!! They never answer their phone or door. One time I ended going to the next town over to get oxygen & that town is 137 miles away!

My driver at lincare, Luis Torros Is the only part of the company that I like. He goes out of his way to help people. He'll come with tanks anyway when there is a mix up. He'll tell you when you need supplies, & he's always pleasant. He just doesn't do his job he goes out of his way to help.

Staff is misinformed and ignored my request to actually read Medicaid/Medicare regulations. I went in to get a replacement CPAP for my 18+ old CPAP machine. My doctor had already sent over all documentation required by Medicaid/Medicare, including my sleep study. The GJ staff said it would take 2 - 3 weeks to get my CPAP, even though I had called before I had my doctor send my info to them and had been told they had my CPAP and mask in stock in their store. ?????? So I could die from an apnea attack in my sleep without my machine and they thought waiting for 3 weeks was just fine when they had the equipment in stock? They said it would take that long to get insurance approval and there was nothing they could do about it. Staff also insisted I HAD to go thru a 12 month trial period where I had to rent my machine monthly. When I told them that no trial period was required for me per Medicaid/Medicare rules and offered to show them the rules I had on my phone, they refused stating "Everyone HAS to go thru a trial period and rent the CPAP during it". When I again told them they were wrong they replied "It doesn't matter". Well it mattered to me so I insisted to talk to the regional manager and they said they would instead. A few hour later I got a call from Savanna from another Lincare office. She was very nice and told me I was correct and I would not need a trial period. She said Lincare needed one more signature from my doc and she would have the manager in GJ go that day, a Friday, to get it. I told my doctor's office was closed on Fridays, so she said they would get the signature first thing Monday morning. I then received a call from my insurance company whose rep told me the CPAP had already been approved and she would call them, and me, daily until I got my CPAP as she confirmed I needed it ASAP. Well, Monday came and went and Lincare had not gone to get the signature from my doctor. Tuesday morning came and went and Lincare had not gotten my doctor's signature when my insurance rep called me again and said she would contact Lincare. Wednesday morning my insurance rep called me and said they had gotten the signature late Tuesday and would be calling me to schedule a time to pick up my CPAP. I then called the Lincare GJ office and asked when I could come get my CPAP. The staff said a their RT would call me and schedule a time later that week to pick up my CPAP. Later that week was not acceptable, so I called and left a message with the Lincare rep in the other office asking why I couldn't get my CPAP that day. About 30 minutes later I got a call from the RT, who really isn't an RT after all I later found out, and finally got my CPAP just before closing time on Wednesday. In short, the GJ staff were clueless on the actual Medicaid/Medicare rules, dragged their feet on providing me life critical equipment, and only after several external interventions did they provide me with my CPAP. I give them an "F".

Unfortunately, Lincare is the only company that my particular insurance company provides. I find them to be a tad rude. My doctor ordered a face mask for my nebulizer machine two weeks ago and I STILL don’t have it. Very frustrating

longtime customer yet still have difficulty getting oxygen. I order on time but the do not even call to let me know they are not coming. Where I live I am the only person on oxygen that has to use tanks! All other companies provide portable compressors to avoid this lack of delivery. At my doctors order, I requested a bipap machine be replaced almost two weeks ago. I have not heard a word from them. Please avoid this company if possible!
