If no preapproval is required for medical supplies, the insurance company will not send one. What then? Lincare drops the order. Lincare will not tell you, notice, or care. Weeks will go by. Lincare will tell you your insurance company is holding them up. You have to know to call your insurance company and tell them to fax/email/call Lincare that no approval will be given because none is needed. Lincare won't tell you this. Lincare will tell you over and over and over that they are waiting for preapproval from you insurance company. This could be life threatening, depending on what you need. I am reporting this company to the Better Business Bureau. I have Blue Cross Blue Shield, so we are not talking about some obscure insurance company with weird requirements. Who knows how often this must go on. If you try to get someone to do something besides drop the order, they will act like you are against their policy, and will recite it to you many, many, times. No thinking happens throughout the whole exercise. read more
