      My daughter, ***** *******, *** *******, has been trying to get a portable O2 concentrator since 11/21 through an Rx from her pulmonologist. They have constantly been telling us different stories. She was calling every other week in March and they finally told her she was approved and would receive one as soon as they got their next shipment. We never heard anything. The Dr office called and talked to the manager last week and they said they had some in stock and she was approved so they could probably get her one by the end of the week or early this week. She called this morning, and she got a different story that they were waiting for a tracking number and she had had to go through a process or something. That was all I could take! They give the Dr office a great story and give us the runaround. How is she supposed to do anything and breathe??? I have had it with them.

      On 7/27/2022, I called Arlington WA to reorder 6 E tanks. Customer service told me they would be delivered the next day. They were not delivered. Friday morning, 7/29, I called customer service and told her the delivery was not made. She said she would contact the service center, and someone would call me back right away. No one called on Friday. Monday 8/1, I called the service center, told the person who answered that the delivery was not made, nor did I receive a telephone call from them. She replied in a very flippant and caustic manner that I would get my delivery whenever they could get to it because they only had 1 driver. They would come whenever they had time. She said "Well, we will get to you when we can." and hung up. I was appalled by that person's attitude and lack of concern. I called our local newspaper consumer reporter to voice my concerns. He stated if the issue is not resolved, they would be more than happy to print an editorial about this problem because of nuerous previos complaints. I attempted to contact Lincare corporate using the iCare form. Their website has had a glitch when trying to submit their iCare form for the past week, so I was unable to get resolution at the corporate level. I hope this issue can be resolved before I am forced to bring this to the attention of the State of Washington. I also recommend that anyone who has complaints about Lincare notify Medicare, Medicaid, VA hospital system, UnitedHealthcare, Blue Cross, Blue Shield, federal HEW, AMA, and/or all appropriate licensing authorities, etc. and inform them of your problems. Lincare is no longer an American owned corporate entity. It is owned by a British company. This may be the way they do business in Britain but not here. A very disappointed and concerned customer of many years.

      Apria healthcare may be a possible solution.

      I have used the services of lincare, located in Wisconsin and Minnesota since last September or October 2921. I have yet to receive a statement from them. I have tried on line, or multiple phone calls, resulting in hours of holding on line to speak to a human being. There seems to be no way of contacting anyone about this issue. I have no idea how much I may owe, or not owe, on this account. I have one person that I do speak to occasionally, and she orders my supplies, but unfortunately, is not able to get me to someone nights business office. I would switch to another company for my oxygen needs, but this is very difficult to do, because of Medicare and my secondary insurance. This company is the worst company I have ever dealt with. Thank you for any consideration to this matter. My account # is: ********, and my birthdate is 12/11/1941.

      I was billed for services not belonging to me on 3/24/22. The services were for rental of a medical device between 4/10/2021 thru 7/10/2021. I responded with a written correspondence on 4/6/22 that I did not rent any medical device from ********************** at any time. I received another bill on 5/24/22 and on 6/01/22 I sent a certified letter stating that I have not ever rented a medical device from **********************. On 6/06/22 the letter was received by J & L Medical however, there has been no attempt with contacting me to a resolution. J & L Medical continues to bill me in the amount of $165.24 for services never rendered to me.

      As a Patient Advocate at Lincare, my goal is to ensure that our patients are satisfied with the products and services we provide. I appreciate having the opportunity to review this matter on your behalf.

      In response to the grievance received, I have reviewed your account with the *************************** and the local J&L Medical. J&L provided a PAP unit to you that was prescribed by a ********************* APRN from ******** Physicians, on 9/10/2020 with your signature noting receipt of the device and **********************. The insurance on file at that time was United Healthcare, who follows ******** guidelines and rents the unit before it is considered patient owned. However, UHC was noted as a termed plan 12/21/2020 and J&L was never provided updated insurance to submit the subsequent remaining claims. A termed insurance letter was mailed to your address, above, on file to alert you to the need to update your insurance. There are no records that indicate you had returned contact to provide updated insurance and as such, the charges outstanding were moved to you for payment. The outstanding balance is as follows:
      Rental 4/10/2021 $41.31, rental 5/10/2021 $41.31, rental 6/10/2021 $41.31, and rental 7/10/2021 $41.31.

      There is a history of payment on the account, posted 3/2021, that covered rental from 1/10/2021 and the supplies that were shipped. The supply center has a record of shipments dating from 10/2020 to 2/2021 and in 3/2021 J&L was notified that you no longer wished to get supplies through us. Your supply account was inactivated at that time but the machine still would be renting as it was not capped or returned.

      Again, thank you for taking the time to share your concerns with Lincare. We appreciate hearing about your experience. Your communication is appreciated and very valuable because it helps us improve the services and care we provide

      (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
      Hi,

      I disagree with the statement provided by ***************************** of Lincare that "United Healthcare...rents the unit before it is considered patient owned." I have attached a copy of the claims detail from United Healthcare of 9/10/2020, the date of which I took possession of the device. The claims detail clearly indicates the "total", which was billed at $1,302.66 with a network discount of -$968.83 and paid in full in the amount of $333.83. Please note that the "Patient Responsibility" is $0.00. This indicates to me that my insurance company was billed for the device in full and considering the Network discount, United Healthcare paid the total amount owed and with no rental period indicated. Also, I have no record of claims paid by United Healthcare in October, November and/or December of 2020 for ******** services of any type.

      In addition, given the fact that I am being charged for four months of assumed rental services for the time period Apr, May, Jun and Jul of 2021. I need to question why there are not rental services being invoiced prior to April-2021? United Healthcare would not have covered services beyond the discontinuation of my plan on 12/31/2021. Considering too that invoicing didn't occur for these assumed services until eleven months after the assumed date of services and, that I made attempts in good faith to better understand the charges and to resolve this issue through written correspondences on 04/06/2022 and again on 06/01/2022 and with no response whatsoever, I need to continue questioning the validity of these charges.

      Thank you,
      *************************

      In response to the grievance received, I have reviewed your account with the *************************** again. They have pulled the explanation of benefits for the dates of service 9/2020 to 12/2020. September, October, November, and December were billed as a rental in accordance with the insurance requirements. They are listed as modifier codes on the **** KH indicates we are billing the first month of the capped rental period, KI indicates month 2-3 of rental, KJ indicates month **** of rental, KX means requirements for the insurance have been met for that policy for us to bill, and NU signifies a purchase item. The $333.83 amount is the amount paid for the full claim on date of service 9/10/2020 including purchase of the humidifier and setup supplies, of which only $41.31 was for the *** itself. Should you have further questions regarding the **** you will need to reach out to your insurance claims department as they have processed as follows:

      I have been a receiving cpap supplies from Lincare since July, 2021. The vast majority of my latest order was not put through my insurance for some reason and I am getting bills for paying out of pocket. This is ridiculous so I returned the items and have yet to receive a refund for those items. I video recorded myself placing the items in the box, taping it up and handing it to the UPS driver. According to tracking number, Lincare received the items back on July 18th. I have tried repeatedly to contact billing but just end up being on hold for extended periods with nobody ever answering. In fact, as I type this, I have been on hold with lincare for 37 minutes.. To add insult to injury, they called me earlier today asking me to place another order for supplies with them and when I explained the situation - that I will not be ordering until they rectify this bill I was "transferred to billing" and the call was immediately dropped.

      Today 8-20, I received a letter from lincare stating they received a complain and were sending ups to pick up a return? and reshipping the correct filters. I have no idea what this is all about because I have not had a problem with filters and i have already returned the order via ups. So I called billing to find out what is going on with this. After a 56 minute wait on hold to talk to a person.. the billing person said that they could not see if the return was received and I would have to talk to someone in supplies. they transferred me and after another hold the "supply" person states yes I see the items were received (all of them) on July 18th. So I said well then why is my account still showing an outstanding balance? I was then told that "supplies" can't make the credit to the account and I would have to speak to someone in billing! They tried to transfer me back to billing but the call was disconnected! How convenient and this is not the first time they've ditched the call on me! So another 2 hours of my life wasted trying to deal with a simple return and getting nothing but a run around. And the only contact back from them is some woman who seems to not know what is going on at all (filters and sending ups to pickup something that they received back on July 18th..) This is really poor customer service!

      More information from customer:
      my last comment on this should have the date as 8-8-2022 not 9-20.. fat fingers on my part!

      This is the letter I received today. Now keep in mind that the items that were returned were received back by Lincare on 7-18 and signed for by someone named "Tom". Lincare's rep on the phone today did verify that all of the items were received back but billing has not adjusted my account to show this yet.... I have no idea who the sender of this letter is or what she is talking about and frankly, I don't think she does either...

      In 2015 or 2016, my Pulmonologist prescribed oxygen for me when I was sleeping. I contacted Lincare in Florida for a concentrator. I was living in Ft Myers. I had already purchased a Nebulizer from them. They billed me for the Nebulizer, but never billed me for the concentrator. I didn't know they were supposed to. When Hurricane Irma was headed my way, I called for extra tanks in case the electricity went out. They said I couldn't get them until it went out. When it did go out, I called and they said they couldn't send anything because the hurricane was there. Because of the hurricane, my nebulizer was damaged. I called many times to no avail. Then I became very ill, so in November 2018 I moved to Abilene. I called the local (in San Angelo) Lincare to get a concentrator, which they promptly delivered. Still I was not billed. They wouldn't replace the Nebulizer either. The San Angelo office had problems getting info from the Florida office for my account. I had already contacted Medicare about my issues, but I was told I'm stuck with them for 5 years from the date of the service in FL. Then I was approved by my doctor for portable oxygen. When the man brought it, he showed me how to use it then had me sign for delivery. What no one told me was that he put an inspection sticker with the current date on the concentrator I had had for about 2 years and my signature was also an agreement to a new contract with Lincare. Then a huge bill came. So I contacted Medicare and found out that FL Lincare had sometimes filed with Medicare and received money. Sherry at Licare San Angelo had told me the company had received no money while I had the machine in FL. Now I am stuck with them because of Medicare rules and I cannot get a portable concentrator instead of the horriblly sticky and dirty cannisters they make me use. the cannister has a carrier with a shoulder strap that often slips down and damages my arms. I've called everyone I could at Lincare and still screwed.

      They do not actually need the HIPAA form. I have heard from Lincare by phone, and they have finally ordered a portable concentrator for me. So that issue is actually resolved. The person I spoke to had no idea what I should do with the HIPAA form. I still don't like the company. However, I'm pretty much stuck with them because of Medicare rules. Thank you very much for contacting them. I think that helped them decide to let me have the portable concentrator instead of the horrid cannisters.

      I was issued a new CPAP machine on July 7, 2022. Within the first week of the use the water chamber on the machine cracked under normal use. I contacted the office and they swapped it out for me on July 18, 2022. I again cracked on August 1, 2022. I again contacted the local Lincare office on August 3, 2022 to request a replacement and was told by Courtney that I would have to deal with it until insurance would cover another water chamber in 6 months. The machine is less than a month old. This is unacceptable. I was told that I was issued a replacement water chamber and that was billed to insurance. That is insurance fraud as I was told it was being swapped under warranty. I was also promised a supervisor call back by the end of business which I have not received. I expect this to be resolved immediately.

      I was released from ******* Valley Medical on November 21, 2021 after having a difficult time with COVID, the hospital arranged to have Lincare deliver oxygen to my home that same day. I used the oxygen until November 28th (1 week)) before I was able to manage without it (The oxygen bottles reminded me of COVID and I wanted them out of my home). I called Lincare on November 29th (Spoke to ******) and pickup was scheduled for December 1st (that was the day their route was in my area). My wife staged all of the bottles inside our home and at the door so they would be ready for pickup. At approximately 10:00 a.m. that Wednesday, I called Lincare and I was told we were still scheduled for pickup. Later in the afternoon, I called lincare again and spoke to *****; she said that the driver had not shown up for the route and confirmed we would not be charged after that day. On December 8th, all Lincare products were picked up at our home. Since December '21, I have been billed by Lincare for monthly oxygen. I have called their ***** customer service almost monthly and each time made to feel the issue was resolved. I have called the local branch and agreed on 2 separate occasions to wait all day for the 'route driver' to come by so I could sign saying the bottles had been picked up on December 8th. At this point, I feel it is pointless to communicate directly with Lincare... they just won't stop. BCBS is my insurance provider, and they are also paying monthly for oxygen that is not being supplied.

      I have not received anything from Lincare. I have attached the completed HIPPA Letter.
