This is the company that has the ONLY contact with Medicare. They have no competition and no accountability. They over charge, send the wrong medicine and add services for those on Medicare knowing there is no choice and their patients are too elderly and sick to do anything about it. They are impossible to fight. If you do not pay them for their fraudulent charges, you get NOTHING through Medicare.
Lincare sent a $153 antibiotic dose to my mother that was incorrect and it cannot be returned or used by my mother. It was Lincare's fault, yet they are demanding payment for the incorrect medication before sending her any more treatments.
In addition, Lincare charges $20 per day "perdiem" ($600 per month) for the pharmacy to mix the dosages she needs everyday. Medicare says they will not pay for the $20 per diem because she is not in the hospital. When she was in the hospital the "per diem" was paid for by Medicare for the same exact medicine.
My mother will now have to go back to the hospital because she is not getting the correct medicine and now her infection is out of control. In addition, she can no longer afford the $20 per day "per diem" being charged by Lincare that Medicare will not cover when she takes the same exact medicine at home.
Instead of Medicare paying $600 per day for my mothers dosage to be delivered at home, the taxpayer will now pick up the Medicare tab for her to be hospitalized for months until her infection is resolved. If Lincare had sent the correct medication to my mother and Medicare covered the $20 per diem daily charge for the medicine, she would have her infection under control and could save the system thousands of dollars by staying out of the hospital.
The American taxpayers dollars are not being spent in a logical or efficient manner. People are not recieving the correct treatment to keep the out of the hospital either. This is what happens when the government is in charge of healthcare. Lincare is the kind of fraud, waste and abuse that needs to be eliminated to stop wasting taxpayers money.
For those advocating for single payer healthcare, look no further than Lincare to what you can expect with no choice and zero accountability.
