Not good at all.
December 5, 2019

Very poor supply company. I need to reorder every time because they rarely ship after the order is made. Frequently lose the order or just get it wrong. Find another supply company for CPAP.

I see why Lincare has to the poor rating that they do. I have been waiting for a nebulizer and albuterol since last month and I have received NOTHING! What type of treatment is this for a patient with pnuemonia and bronchitis? I could croak waiting for Lincare to get my equipment and prescription. I recommend you find another company instead of wasting your time on Lincare! I would rate them with ZERO stars if I could!

The Worst Ever
December 28, 2018

I've been waiting for CPAP supplies since late September. Today is now Dec. 28 and they still haven't arrived. Called repeatedly; each person gave me a different reason for delay. Terrible.

Worst service ever
June 15, 2018

Promises of action, but no one follows through on anything.
A patient has gone four weeks without equipment because of their ineptitude.
What happened to customer service?

Awful customer service
January 16, 2019

Terrible! Horrible! No customer service. Do not care about their patients. NEVER use Lincare. The Hickory, NC location lies and doesn't listen to customer or family members.

Terrible Company

Avoid them at all costs. There "customer service " is more like customer abuse. They take your medical care (part of your life), completely for granted.

The absolute worst company. Do not do business with Lincare, you will regret it. Rude people who never return calls. Errors in billing take forever to remedy. They don't deserve even one star.

Piss poor company
July 18, 2017

Talk about a miss management lencare u are it. After being on oxgen for 23 years lencare is trying to take me off. I'm on 4lpm at night. Plus im a retired welder from Michigan. But now im in Florida they think its a miracle I'm all better now. Lol like i told them sign me a paper that I'm all right and I'll go back to work. But not welding I'll do otr pulling a 53 foot trailer and when i pass out on 75 doing 60 with 70 tons its going to be a mess. Then my wife with that paper you signed she will go to morgen and Morgan law office and there will be no more lencare anymore. Lmfao

Dealing with Lincare has been one of the worst experiences in my 30+ years as a patient. They have failed to respect the contract which I signed when I picked up my CPAP equipment, and added a variety of charges which were not presented to me. They have bombarded me with a variety of fees and did not even mail invoices to the proper address. When these were not paid (since i had not received them), they referred me to collections. They could have easily located me.
I have never encountered this level of greed and deceit during my three decades of working 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 have somehow kept them out of trouble. But the Internet is more accurate - do yourself a big favor and find other companies for your health needs.

Terrible Experience - Stay away!

Previous review

I almost never write 1 star reviews, but don't really have a choice in this case. I am doing much better with the new CPAP device which i obtained from Lincare, but definitely regret having signed up with this organization. There are many reasons for the low score, as follows: 1) They have not followed the contract which i signed when i initially picked up the machine. The billing numbers are all massively inflated. 2) They mistakenly mailed my invoices to an old address, though i had filled out all of current info. Then, after 5 months, i received a call from a collections agency. That's very unethical. 3) They are billing me for inappropriate components; for example, they never told me that they would bill for a humidifier chamber which is part of the device. This has been billed at over $30 monthly, which is really reprehensible and dishonest. The little gauze filters are billed out at about $5 each - really?) 4) The teams at both Lincare and Carecentrix are very difficult to reach, and are not taking any responsibility for the errors mentioned above. They are simply billing the insurance as much as legally permissible, plus more, and due to my deductible, the massive bills have all been sent over to me. I now owe them more than $2000, which is placing severe strain since i am not able to work at this time. 6) they are not really negotiating with me regarding possible solutions. I certainly want to reach a resolution, but they are not reasonable or supportive. 5) One employee agreed that i have been overcharged; however, she did not have the authority to adjust my bill. At least there is one honest person there, though she could not help me. 6) I have had zero assistance with my difficulties with my mask; they never set up any fitting appointments, but seemed to want to get me out of office as soon as possible. I was expecting to see an respiratory therapist at some point. I have submitted complaints to their office as well as the Better Business Bureau, but has not had any success to date. For your own good, please stay away from both Lincare as well as Carecentrix if you have any possible options elsewhere. It's been a real nightmare.

My daughter requires medical equipment and they would not deliver without payment up front, so of course I paid. Two months later they randomly billed my account again, causing overdrafts. After many phone transfers, non-returned calls, they finally told me that their computer says they only billed once, so sorry about my luck. I took precious time away from my ill daughter to find the needed information. Needless to say they uphold the BAD REPUTATION OF THESE TYPE OF PROVIDERS and I am still trying to get my money!

If I could give zero stars, I would. My grandmother utilized their oxygen supplies for less than 24 hours before being admitted to hospice. We immediately notified Lincare that we no longer needed their supplies, as hospice would provide all oxygen needs. Upon her passing 2 days later, we again notified them, and again requested that they pick up their equipment. We are now 5 days after her passing and they still have not picked it up. But what's worse is that they continue calling us about the oxygen, apparently having made NO notation on the account that the patient, my grandmother, has passed away. So, my poor mom has had to tell them almost daily that her mom has passed. Wow. Talk about insult
To injury. You would think that someone over there could make a simple notation that the patient is no longer with us so as to maintain some semblance of decency and/and sympathy. Now they call again today, and we explain again today that she is gone. But now they want to let us know that we will be billed for a full month of service, when in fact we utilized their service for less than 24 hours. We have had their equipment at our home for less than a week, pleading with them to come pick it up for the last 6 days, so we don't have to keep seeing it as a constant reminder of her passing. This business is so poorly run. The customer service is non-existent and bordering on harassment riddled with stupidity and insensitivity. Please, if you have ANY choice other than this one, choose someone else for your oxygen needs.

Terrible service
May 25, 2023

I'm in my mid-70's and my doctor ordered oxigen for me after having pneumonia. A machine was delivered that I used at night, as well as a small tank that I could wheel around. When I went to order oxygen for the tank, I was told they couldn't refill it because it wasn't authorized by my doctor. It was! But, they billed me for having the tank previously, instead of the insurance company. After many unsuccessful phone calls, I sent the equipment back.

This company has absolutely the worst customer service of ANY government or commercial entity I have ever dealt with. I notified them 3 weeks ago of my mother's passing and told them to come get their equipment... 6 phone calls later and nothing resolved. Promises of people that will "call me back" have never happened... DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY... YOU WILL REGRET IT...

I contacted Lincare about the recall for my Philips CPAP machine that they sold me, but they did absolutely nothing beyond passing the buck to the manufacturer. Lincare is a billion dollar company and they could have given me a new CPAP machine and then settled with Philips for any out of pocket costs, but instead they decided it's not their responsibility, despite the fact that they are an authorized dealer for Philips CPAP machines.

Unfortunately, I live in the backwater of North Florida where this kind of horrible service is commonplace. My mother lives in Fort Lauderdale and got a brand new CPAP machine delivered to her 1 day after contacting her medical device supplier.
