I give one star only because they don't allow negatives.
Please note my review is about the Lincare in Cumberland RI. I could not get it to show up on the Yelp search so I picked the closest one.
Sorry, I am picking on the Cumberland office today.
I have been a CPAP uses for a dozen years. I did all my work with the company, Homecare New England. They got bought out by Lincare and then everything went downhill in a hurry.
They offer the absolute worst customer service I have ever dealt with. Anything you do with them will only get finished if you call each person involved in the action to make sure they do their job.
Example. My old machine died. I called and they said I qualified for new one, great. The facilitation of reporting the need to actually getting a machine took over two months. It only happened because I drove them crazy by calling regularly to get a status. No one in their company ever does anything beyond the immediate scope of their job. If the rep said they were waiting for a script from the doc, that was i. They would never call the doc, I had to do that. Then the doc sends a script but they have a million offices so it gets to the wrong one. No one would think to forward it, it just lay there. I made calls along the way and finally got to meet Ellen, let me tell you about Ellen in Cumberland. She is a carryover from Homecare. She is awesome but she is saddled with a group of Lioncare service reps who do the least possible to take care of their customers.
A more recent event; the mask to my new machine was abraiding the skin on my nose. I called Ellen she said I should call Lincare supplies people to get a new type of mask. So I did and she saw Ellens note so it was not a surprise to her. She said I need ed to get insurance approval and that she would put a rush on it. Two weeks go by and nothing. I call back and get a different lady. She spends some time looks me up and says that ist awaiting insurance approval. I asked when it was sent for approval. She pauses and says it went out the day before. It had taken over two weeks to send my request to insurance. You know, the request the lady said she would rush. They provide medical supplies and care, This is not a ring dig distributorship. They are responsible for providing supplies that keep people alive. They are the worst company I have ever dealt with. Unfortunately, they seem to buy up all the competition so I have no recourse but to deal with them. They are horrible, but Ellen the med tech is wonderful, she needs to find a new company. read more
