I have been resisting going to get a cpap machine for the last. Year. My pulmonologist. I listened to my pulmonologist who screamed at me n went in. To my absolute surprise I was warmly greeted listen to this amazing lady tell me all I needed to know wait no she showed me everything I needed to . Her knowledge left me feeling at ease and hopeful for the first time in a year that I could finally sleep for more than the two hours I have been sleeping for the last year. So thank you read more

We have a pulse ox sensor from them for my INFANT daughter. The cord to the machine broke over a MONTH ago. We have called 4-5 times a week, and gotten told it was ordered, then told a driver would be out "same or next day". To then be told the address was "undeliverable". We have a front door camera; nobody ever came and even tried. This has been going on for a month. Finally, after dozens of calls, and threatening them with legal action, they said "oh you can come pick it up at the office" - which we asked to do 3 weeks ago and got told no. These people don't care about the patients they service, it shows. And thank God my daughter is okay because we have been using an owlet device, but eventually someone is going to get hurt or God forbid die because of their incompetence. Disgraceful. Find another company, don't give them any business. I will be reporting them to the better business bureau, and to my insurance company telling them to not pay for the last month where we didn't actually recieve any services. read more

Update: Did not deliver tanks last night. Called this morning to get new eta and they did not reschedule delivery for today or any day! They said I have to reschedule for another day. What???? No, your mistake, need them here today! Asked to speak to a supervisor but of course no one was available. They are supposed to call me back. What happened to good customer service, taking accountability for your mistake and fixing it! This is such a poorly managed company and their reviews reflect that! Supposed to deliver oxygen tanks for my husband and service his machine. I called at 3:30pm to get an eta and was told 7:30pm-10:30pm! WTF??!? Are you kidding me??? Apparently this company has NO regard for client or employee safety! It's now 9:50pm and no communication from anyone. If your employees have to work this late, hire more employees!!! read more

This is the worst company ever I was... This is the worst company ever I was discharged from the hospital after having respiratory failure and needing oxygen! I get four tanks and no one provided me a tool that was necessary to change the tanks nor did anyone show me how to change the tanks safely. I called Wednesday 29 July 2026 and I still haven't had the wrench delivered or the driver to show me how to change out the tanks for Oxygen in Phoenix Arizona when we've been in 113° weather it is now 754 p.m. Phoenix time. And I still do not have the tool or instructions to do this after making three calls today for an ETA. No one has called me back. You should be ashamed of yourselves Preferred home care you're not helping people you're harming people. I will bring this up to my insurance and my lawyer! read more

I was returning a call.. I did not reach out to them.. obviously they received a referral for my father's needs. Told me I would need to fax my information. I said well I do not own a fax machine they're outdated... they went on to be rude so I said well. I'm not interested in anything of your services.. read more

If I could give this company minus 5 stars, I would. Do not use them under any circumstances. They will send you the wrong equipment ordered and then will tell you they can't help you replace it. Also when your doctor sends in a prescription for medical equipment, they send you the wrong thing and inform you (after its been delivered) that they don't carry the item ordered. They are an absolute nightmare all around. TELL HYOUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDER TO NEVER USE THEM. Total scammers. They literally can not provide anything you need. read more

The very worst service I have ever had with a business. They were supposed to deliver to the hospital an oxygen tank so I could leave the hospital. All paper work was in order and I had to stay in the hospital an extra 2 days at my cost of $200 a day and I finally discharged myself AMA after waiting and waiting and waiting. I'm still waiting. People like this shouldn't be allowed ti be in business. read more

Poor, poor service. At this time, my Mom has been without oxygen for 24 hours! I have called 4 times today with no results! Isn't this medical negligence? read more

Answering phones. Quality of service. After hour needs. If I could give them a negative 5(five). I would they are terrible. I'm gonna try and get my oxygen generator from someone else. Since their merger service has gotten even worse. Someone is paying off someone at Medicare under the table for Medicare to keep their contract. read more

Worst customer service ever. It is worse because we have no option and have to use this horrible company. The people who answer the phones are the most unprofessional people I ever speak to. To add to the amazingly poor service you get with this company, there phone lines always cutting in and out. My mother's oxygen concentrator broke today, it's the 2nd one to break in 2 months, and we got a confirmation that she would receive her delivery today and after 4 hours, which is just 3:37pm, we were told she will not get her delivery today. You are never able to talk to a supervisor and just today the system was down for hours, per the very unhappy guy who answered the phone 4 times. Do better and hire people who actually like people. read more

When trying to call them, they are the Absolutely the worst company. Wait times 60+ minutes. All day, every day. They called me, I tried to call back. Not worth my time or anyone else's time to be on hold for over an hour. read more

I read the online reviews and did not want to go to this vendor. My MD and insurance said I had to. The office was clean, the two staff I interacted with were pleasant and informative. Another company had wanted to mail me my CPAP equipment (am really glad glad I said no) I changed MDs when this suggestion was made.) The therapist went over everything and made sure I understood. She let me try on equipment to make sure I got the right thing. This was at the office on Thunderbird. Maybe the poor reviews caused them to change their practices. read more

Is there a more poorly run company in all of existence? Not just in the state of Arizona? I feel we can all honestly say that the sole reason they are still in business is because they are the only game in town with some insurance providers, especially the state run health plans. They don't care. They aren't timely. You can't really get a hold of anyone. When you do, it is likely after an hour waiting on hold. When you do get to a representative it is mostly 'hurry up and wait' and they move at a snail's pace. They are mostly inept at what they do. You need 1000 different phone numbers to reach the department you need because when you get to where you think you need to be...you get hit with the "I'm going to have to transfer you to another department." All these guys do is pass the buck. I think there needs to be a collective outreach to give parents and caregivers of family needing all of these supplies another option. read more

by far the worst customer service ever and they will lie to you and mislead you and make up stuff and even at the Rehab place for DME items. I should have listen to my PCP at Banner told me to stay way from Preferred Homecare. So I am telling everyone stay faraway from this company in AZ it will be a huge mistake by you the patient. read more

By far, the WORST DME vendor we have ever had the displeasure of working with. This place is a complete joke when it comes to customer service. They constantly redirect phone calls to other departments that just redirect you back to the original department. So it's a constant loop that eventually ends in being connected to a voicemail that is never checked. They are also the only vendor contracted with UHC AHCCCS plans. So many our patients don't have a choice but to endure the long wait times, unanswered phones calls, and cancelled orders. The intake reps you eventually speak with also illegally state at times that they are not accepting new patients - even though patients with UHC AHCCCS have no other alternative. Literally, not one. Keep in mind, if a vendor is contracted with a particular insurance company, they legally have to accept patients with that particular insurance. Now keep in mind, no amount of complaining online or over the phone will make any difference. What everyone needs to do is to go directly to your insurance to make the complaints. Get them involved because they will begin the investigations into why this company is not fulfilling their contractual obligations. But that's just the first step. Here are some other things that every patient, caregiver, or consumer can do. 1) Gather identifying company info such as National Provider ID (NPI) number and taxonomy. I'll make that part east for you. Here is all the identifying info for Preferred. NPI Number: 1386688414 Medicaid Identifier: 092545 Primary Taxonomy: 332B00000X Secondary Taxonomy: 332BX2000X 2) File a complaint with Medicare by calling 1-800-633-4227 3) File a complaint with the Arizona Medical Board by going to azmd.gov/Regulation/Regulation 4) File a complaint with the Arizona Attorney General by going to azag.gov/complaints/consumer. Or you can call them at (602) 542-5763 5) File a complaint with the Arizona Department of Insurance by calling (602) 364-2499. You can also email them at insurance.consumers@difi.az.gov I hope this helps. I'll leave the complete contact info for Preferred Homecare just in case anyone needs that.

Preferred Homecare - Read my review for tips on how to hold companies like this accountable for their patient negligence. - Home Health Care Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

the absolute worst experience. helping my elderly father for a power wheel chair. Started in Jan 2025- it is now September and no delivery yet! they dont follow through, they dont communicate and its a 20+ min hold each time you call. we have been scheduled and then no-call, no-show for delivery- still waiting... Complaint filed with the insurance company Negative 10 stars! read more

I just now read the other reviews and completely agree that I would give them a negative rating too!! They were supposed to deliver a walker to my Dad at a rehab facility on a Friday - they didn't, then on Sunday the nurse called them and they were supposed to deliver on Monday to our home because my Dad was discharged. I called on Monday - and they wouldn't talk to me without my Dad saying they could. I am POA - all he said was "you can talk to her" I don't see the point. They were supposed to deliver again - didn't. I called on Tuesday - again - had to say they could talk to me - girl was snotty on the phone. It was supposed to be delivered on Wednesday. Nothing - no calls or anything. So now Thursday comes and a guy calls saying he is 5 minutes from my house. I was at work and my Dad was alone and he moves very slowly - i advised the driver of that. He only waited about 2 min then went back to his truck. He saw my Dad at the door and went back with walker. My Dad said "its about time, I have been waiting a week" and the driver took the walker back from my Dad and said he could wait longer and left with the walker. I AM APPAULED!!! This is an 80 yo man that needs a walker due to a stroke. He had been getting by on a very old walker for a week and now has to wait longer. I called the company and requested a supervisor. He called me back the next day and he said that the driver claimed my father cussed at him. NO WAY! And so what if he did - do your job - cuss back and leave the walker. But to take the medical equipment - completely shocking that an adult would do that. I will be posting everywhere about this and I am going to find a way to complain to Medicare and the Rehab hospital too. NO ONE SHOULD EVER HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT! read more

I have nothing good to say about this company. We have had issues for YEARS with them but we are stuck with them since my special needs daughter's insurance is contracted with them. We learned the hard way that any time an order for diapers, durable medical equipment, formula, etc. gets authorized by insurance, Preferred does absolutely nothing with the order. It will just sit there with them until WE call for status and nudge them along. And then we are met with excuse after excuse, and stating they will fulfill said order. But they do not so we have to call and call again. It took 4 months to fill her diaper order, so I had to purchase them out of pocket. I was lied to, had them place blame on other departments, never call me back when they said they would ...you name it. I've heard it. Now mind you, my daughter is not a new client...she has been with them unfortunately for years so a simple change to her diaper order shouldn't have taken 4 months. Currently, we have been dealing with a car seat order since JULY 2025. We have called them repeatedly about it and got the run around each time. The last excuse for not filling the order was the last gal that was handling it (Linda) no longer works there so it just sat. Due to their ineptness, the insurance authorization has now expired and we have to start all over again. Why should my daughter not get basic necessities and be punished for their lack of care?!!! So just a little advice...follow-up with them often for status checks and document who you talk to and when. Also, check with your insurance company to see when the authorization expires so you don't get stuck starting all over again and waiting another several months. It shouldn't take all this work on my end to get what my daughter needs, but unfortunately it does. I should be on their payroll. Clearly, UHC does not care and either does anyone at Preferred. No one has any work ethic anymore. read more

The incompetence of this company, particularly the back office staff is breathtaking. In January, my mother was being discharged from the hospital and they notified Preferred Homecare that I was the point of contact. When I called to schedule a hospital bed and wheelchair they said I wasn't authorized. Shortly thereafter, the gentleman I spoke to called back to say "oops" yes, you are listed, please call back. I did so within 10 mins of his VM, and explained the issue to the rep. She tells me "you're not listed as POC". OMG! Again, shortly after, they called and left a VM that they now see I am listed as POC. I eventually was able to schedule delivery, but not without issue. I just called to schedule pick up of the equipment and YEP, the POC designation is no longer effective, therefore, either the facility has to call or I have to fax POA docs. I have ZERO faith that this incompetent company would correctly document my POA. Avoid this company at all costs! read more

Warning! THEY NEVER ANSWER THEIR PHONE! If you're willing to sit on hold for approximately an hour you can leave a message with their answering service who promises you'll receive a return call by "the end of business day".... then you enter the "groundhog day" loop of... "call, leave a message, wait for return call that you never get....call back, listen to loud, horrific, anxiety producing hold music for an hour, tell the answering service that you've been calling and leaving messages for over a week and now it's urgent, frustrating and making me angry.... she promises a return call by the end of business day....." BOOM!! GROUNDHOG DAY! WAKE UP AND REPEAT!! ANSWER YOUR PHONES and TAKE CARE OF YOUR PATIENTS!! If that's hard to do THEN TAKE CARE OF YOUR PAYING CUSTOMERS!!! READ YOUR REVIEWS and YOUR BBB COMPLAINTS.... THIS WILL GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT WE EXPECT TO GET FOR OUR PAYMENTS YOU GET and wrongly claim from our insurance companies for services YOU DO NOT PROVIDE!!! read more

Preferred Homecare - Oxygen, oxygen tanks - Home Health Care Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

See all

If I could give this company ZERO stars, I would. They were tasked with delivering a medical device and supplies to my hospital room, so I could be discharged. A young man brought a box labeled oxygen tanks to my room and had me sign on his iPad verifying receipt of delivery. I wasn't provided with anything to know what I had signed for. When the case manager opened the box, there was no packing list, paperwork, or any information indicating where it came from, or what should be found inside. The medical device is described as portable. It came in an old nylon case with clasps that appear to be for a shoulder strap, or handle, but there was no strap in the box. A home healthcare nurse came to my home yesterday afternoon to connect me to the medical device. First she needed to charge the device, became the battery was dead. While it was charging she took a thorough inventory of what was in the box. Once she verified that the machine was working satisfactorily, even though the tag attached indicates that it hasn't been inspected or tested for more than 2 months, using some of the supplies in the box she connected it to my surgical site. Now, two days after the box was delivered to the hospital, a flippant young woman just called from the Preferred Homecare main number. Although the office is closed and I couldn't verify her identity, she requested and I gave her my name, my home address, my date of birth, my email address, etc. Everything but my mother's maiden name. Then she started rattling off all of the items that SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE BOX. ?????!!!!!! I am not a medical professional and I have no clue what medical supplies she was referring to. And then she started advising me of my liability if the supplies were not properly returned when I'm finished using the device. I mentioned the missing shoulder strap, several times, and she finally said she would make a note of it... I asked her to text me a list of what she believed to be in the box. She said she couldn't do that because she was calling from a business line. What an unprofessional and archaic business. If I had a choice, I would take my medical device needs elsewhere. read more

I went in for an appointment. There was some confusion (my fault) and I left. They said they needed to order the machine; I walked out thinking I had signed for the visit. I never hear from them until I start receiving a bill for supplies they say they gave me to use on the machine they never gave me. I have seen bad; they are the benchmark for terrible. read more

Nothing Preferred about this company. If I could give them a minus grade, I would! We had troubles when we first had to start using them a year ago. with broken promises on delivery dates and much more. Now again: Need to speak to someone in the regional office in Phxthey put me on hold and the call gets disconnected after 16minutes of waiting. Tried to call back twice, it rang and they immediately upon answering the phone, hung up. Time to go to Phx in person, yuck! And if that doesn't work I'll be going to the press. My advice to you: Avoid Preferred Homecare at all cost! read more

Preffered homecare billing is the worst. They decide to bill you for APAP filters\hoses 11-12 months after you have received it. Mean while you have already paid other bills with that came in after this date of service. There billing department has always been a mess since day 1. I will never subscribe to there automated delivery process of apap equipment ever again. I will instead go online to amazon or another website and order what is needed. If I could rate them -10 I most certainly would. The prices of this equipment are also outrageous. I can get the same thing cheaper elsewhere. read more

A new level of incompetence. After paying my bill and asking for written confirmation by email (which I never received), I get a collection notice from a debt collector. I called them back and sat on hold for 30 minutes. I was told I have a zero balance. I asked them to please send written confirmation by email as they promised. They now claim they don't have my email. I said OK, I will give it to you, but you must have it since you sent confirmation that my payment was authorized and made. As I was giving them my email, they hung up on me. I certainly hope I will never have to deal with this company again. I wonder if insurance companies have any idea how mismanaged they are. read more

The worst customer care you can imagine. Calling they rook 3 calls before not getting disconnected then put on hold and of course disconnected again. Impossible company to deal with. Don't use it if you have a choice. read more

I have been currently running into issues with the Phoenix Arizona office. For the past few months now and after giving correct address information my urological supplies have been going to the other side of building where I live. I would call only to be put on hold for a long time and only to get no where. As a result I am currently having neurogenic bladder issues. I don't believe that when this place is doing this to its customers it's not providing care needed and is leading to poor quality of care. It is responsiblilty of this place to put in correct address every time they place order. read more

The worst customer service I've ever experienced. I left the hospital with my wife at 6pm after receiving a call that our home hospital bed was on the way. Nobody showed up. After calling 3 times the following morning, I was told that the delivery would be at 9:30. Again, no show. Keep in mind I have left my wife at the hospital alone since 6pm the night before with two missed deliveries. After my 4th call, I'm told it will be 11:30am. I have missed hospital care sessions with my wife after waiting 17 hours for a delivery I was told would be here. Do not recommend to anyone. read more

I recently went to Preferred Home Care for a CPAP fitting. Had some apprehensions because of the mixed reviews I saw on Yelp. However, my experience couldn't have been better. I was seen shortly after my appointment time and could not have had a better experience with technician Angelica. She was friendly, caring, patient and so helpful throughout. I could not have had a more positive appointment. I hope Preferred Home Care appreciates Angelica and that they do everything possible to keep her. Bob H read more

If I could give Preferred Homecare on Hilton Avenue negative stars- I would!!! How this company remains in business blows my mind!! For the last 7 months my mother's health care provider has been sending the SAME orders to them and NO medical equipment has been delivered to her. This is highly negligent on their part!!!!! When I call to inquire, I am on hold for almost an hour and sometimes no one answers the phone. This company should be shut down. This is a disservice to our senior community. Try to find somewhere else for your loved one's medical equipment. read more

Run far from these liars! Would give zero stars if I could!! Horrible company! I will never do business with them ever again! They are trying to take my child's cough assist machine away because they refuse to do their job. Called me saying that they are not allowed to contact the HOSPITAL where the device was prescribed at. They wanted me to do their job for them and call around and figure it out. They will do anything and everything to take medical equipment away from you and your CHILDREN. read more

Horrible horrible phone system. You can literally hold for hours to speak to someone. Pretty crappy when you have to depend on them for your oxygen that keeps you ALIVE!! read more

Worst Customer service ever - always on hold for 40 minutes plus - never deliver when promised, say that I am not home when I am.... My dr ordered a portable oxygen and they have been out of that device for over 6 months and have no idea when if ever they will have it. No wonder they have a rating of 1 or less. So sad that UHC contracted these people. Looking for another place to order from soon. If they don't deliver portable tanks, they are limiting elders to staying in their home instead of being able to venture out. Holidays are here and I'd like to visit my family out of the home. Sad to have to go thru this. read more

Five, five no call no shows Allegedly was escalated and a supervisor or manager would be calling me back. That didn't happen either. read more

I do not recommend Preferred - if you are being discharged from a hospital, please consider another company. Be prepared to wait on hold for 45 mins on average to speak to someone and if you get transferred, be prepared to wait again. The gal I initially spoke with to inquire about which of our items were rentals and which insurance outright paid for would not speak to me without a Durable Power of Attorney which I emailed immediately. She said she would call back once it was in their system. I had to call and follow up and the gal I spoke with never called back after repeated messages that I left. Customer service is hit or miss but mostly miss. We tried to schedule a pick up for our rented bed from a group home. It was supposed to be picked up the next day - it wasn't. When I finally got through, customer service said it was a missed pick up and that I had to call back to reschedule. Someone is there 24/7 because it is a group home. Are you kidding me?! I have to call back because your people missed picking it up?! The person who is taking our place can't have their bed delivered until ours is removed. It has been a week now. So frustrating! Since the bed is rented for a month at a time, they have their money. read more

This company is the worst company i have ever dealt with. I am totally surprised they are still contracted wirh medicare/medicaid. Subpar, they will intentionally hang up and lie to you. They are very unresponsive. Schedule deliveries only to fail. They failed four different times to deliver and said no one was home. there is always someone home. They are known to lie. if you dont have to deal with them please don't. Minus 1000000000 stars read more

This the worst company to deal with! I have been trying to get a Wheelchair delivered to my terminal brain tumor husband and they refuse to help me without speaking to him! I advised her that I have a medical Durable Power of Attorney. They words were probably to big for her to understand. Withholding products for care is criminal!! Do not let any doctor refer you here! read more

God forbid you ever need oxygen or any other life saving medication from them as they are never on time and in my case week(s) (not a type o) yes weeks late not hours lol. The whole experience is hilarous. You call in to reorder oxygen, they are always so nice on the phone by the way, and then you wait for the delivery which never comes. You then must call them and ask where oxygen is and they have no record of you needing the order, so they then make a note and let you know it will be tomorrow...always tomorrow but they only service new river on Monday. Needless to say my buddies and I will be looking into starting a similar business and our company mission statement will be simple. "We dont lie, we know when your loved one is facing death and needs life saving medical equipment, we will bring it to you. People over profit. We won't pay minimum wage like our competitor. We realize you get what you pay for in this life. Bottom dollar brings bottom workers. No room for skimping in the Healthcare industry. In we make a mistake with your life saving equipment we won't sugar coat it. We will treat you like family and run it over to you ASAP that day or night, not in 2 weeks." Hell that bankrupt this clown outfit pretty quickly. They are owned by a parent company, which seems legit and well funded so im not sure if the CEO's son got the nod to take over operations of Preferred Homecare after losing a bet but whoever the director of Ops is, should should step down and return to another industry as this one is over their pay grade. read more

After calling Lincare various times and days. I finally got a human and then I was transferred to Preferred Homecare Billing. I have been on hold for 2 hours and 45 minutes. What a joke.. Horrible! Ridiculous.... Do better! I honestly don't know how your still doing business. read more

It's nearly impossible to have "customer service" as bad as Preferred Homecare by accident. Honestly they have to be putting in extra effort to be as bad as they can possibly be and they're excelling at it. They have, so far, missed every promise of delivery. Today is strike number three. Whenever I call it's always tomorrow. The only thing they provide is lies at least as near as I can tell. I have called my Medicare Advantage provider, the hospital (who hates them) and Medicare who gave me the number of a QIO. I called the QIO and told them I wanted them investigated since I had difficulty believing that they were an approved provider since, so far, they have only provided lip service. I don't know if their cage can be rattled enough for them to fix their extremely deep seated problems but they're certainly answering a lot of questions. Next stop is the BBB but probably not until tomorrow. I've spent enough BTUs on them today. As many others here have said they don't even rate one star but that's as low as it goes. read more
