Preferred Homecare private wheelchair

Wheelchair was picked up before Christmas. Called 1/20/22 and wheelchair still needs insurance approval. Has not been touched in over a month. On top of that, once approved, payment is needed even before parts are ordered. WHAT KIND OF COMPANY IS ! Luckily, my insurance has given me an alternative for another facility.
As of today 1/20 the approval has not been filed with the insurance company

Desired outcome: GET OF YOUR [censored] AND FIX MY WHEELCHAIR

Preferred Homecare Increase hours not received

The insurance approved a certain amount of hours as of early December and every time I call the agency, I am told they did not receive the approved hours. However, my insurance confirmed this change. I was recently diagnosed with a severe illness and the agency is still not applying the changes of HHA hours for me to have the appropriate service.

Desired outcome: to apply the effective HHA hours from the insurance

Preferred Homecare Very poor customer service

My oxygen company through United Health Care was Apria. I received a letter from United Health Care that my oxygen provider was changed to Preferred Health Care. They were supposed to contact me to bring me a new concentrator and oxygen tanks. I have called them many times the past month, and always have been put on hold for a long time, nobody at the company would answer the phone. I have called them over and over the past month, and they have very poor customer service, and I can not trust them to reorder my oxygen tanks that have emptied. This company is very unreliable. United Health Care should drop them as a provider for oxygen supplies.

Preferred Homecare Mobility scooters

Its been about 4 or 5 months that Preferred Home Care, Justin, has been fooling around with this scooter prescription from my doctor. Im using a broken wheelchair while waiting. Justin calls me at 7:05 in the morning to dicuss various options, never bothered to measure me for good fit, refuses to respect or accommodate my unique structural needs for disability. For example hes offering a 17"seat width when my bottom spread is about 20". He says its so important to have scooter that can be taken apart when I havent driven, nor do I have anybody that drives. I need suspension due to severe back problems, he offers a cheap option that has hard wheels, and no suspension. Cant figure out why he hasnt been better trained. Keeps saying hes not on commission. Doesnt mention incentives or bonuses to offer cheapest scooter available. He offers one brand when there are about 150 different scooters available. Somebodys pocketing the money for his incompetence. Doesnt factor into what defines "service". I asked for second opinion and he called me again with another incompetent offer. Disgusting that Cigna doesnt resolve this.

Desired outcome: provide a scooter that actually fits my disability

Preferred Homecare Medical supplies

With a cancer diagnosis in 2013 I underwent a laryngectomy and removal of my voice box at UCLA R. Reagan Medical Center. After 10 days my husband brought me home to Las Vegas and to the care of visiting nurses and a myriad of DME equipment and medical supplies - all provided by and organized by Preferred Homecare.
I was a bewildered, needy patient who was immensely helped by your company.
In a few months the laryngectomy tube was removed and a voice prosthesis inserted. This allows me to speak but with difficulty.
My contact with Preferred Homecare was by email. The nicest, most efficient customer service representative, Lisa Halwix, Trach and Vent Coordinator, offered to receive my monthly supply orders by email, understanding that requiring me to dictate a list of needed supplies on the telephone would be a huge strain on my meager voice.
In 2014 I was diagnosed with lung cancer and was seen by a pulmonologist. Now I needed oxygen equipment and was referred to AA Medical, now AdaptHealth Co.
It did not trouble me to have two medical supply companies. However, in 2019 AA Medical had a billing problem which we could not agree on. I had to leave their nice employees and decided to put all my supply needs in the hands of Preferred. Lisa Halwix helped me with all my transferring needs. Every month I ordered from her, receiving the box of supplies within a few days. There were orders from physicians needed by my insurance provider, Aetna Medicare, and Lisa helped me with all the forms.
Oh, I did not take Lisa's caring attitude for granted. Frequently I thanked her and acknowledged that she was going above and beyond the definition of customer service.
Eight years have gone by, my lung tumor is stable but ever present, I sleep with oxygen from the concentrator, and every month I receive medical supplies. UNTIL NOW.
And NOW brings me to the point of this communication. We changed our insurance in January this year, choosing Medicare as our primary and Anthem Blue Cross as secondary. Suddenly my accustomed routine of medical supplies fell apart. There began a series (not merely one!) of phone calls from Regina Lozada in billing. She instructed me that I must see my doctor and submit from him to Preferred Homecare an approved list of supplies. After 8 years with little variation in my supplies. After assuming I was a valued customer with a Preferred file for all my details.
February dragged into March. My pulmonogist, overwhelmed with the Covid-19 crisis, said one of his nurse practitioners could easily handle this insurance issue since I was not at all ill. Papers were sent to Preferred. They were refused several times for signatures in wrong places, an objection refuted by the Lung Center doctors. In March I submitted an order to Lisa Halwix and then learned the sad truth: Medicare patients cannot be represented in their home state. I would have to deal with employees in Arizona. These people, represented by Ms Lozada in addition, now, to a Lisa Hill, insisted their forms were still not correct for me to be served by Preferred. AFTER 8 YEARS! My doctors office manager tells me she deals with many medical supply companies here in Las Vegas and never has been treated as Preferred's employees did.
Finally in March it seemed I was going to be allowed to pay Preferred for tubing, masks, suction jars, etc., any supplies not fully covered by Medicare. I emailed my usual order for 5 or 6 items to 3 different people. This is what I was instructed to do: to Regina Lozada, Lisa Hill and MIT Supplies. That week my husband answered the phone to Lisa Hill, calling me with a question. I reminded her that speaking on the phone was so difficult for me. Could she not send an email? She sounded surprised and ignorant of my condition. AFTER 8 YEARS! Does Preferred not have files on patients? Eventually I did receive that March order.
I write today not merely because I am so disappointed in a company which I thought valued me but also because on April 28 I emailed a second supply order, requesting a reply from Preferred having received it (a gesture Lisa Halwix did monthly as a courtesy). Today is May 5. I have received no reply and to date no supplies. Will they arrive?
Of course, I am taking recommendations from my ENT, my oncologist and pulmonologist for a change of medical supply companies. My leaving your firm won't be of consequence to you, but social media will read this and wonder...as do I, how Preferred Homecare stays in business.
Sincerely,
Joyce Goldin

Desired outcome: receive supplies!

Preferred Homecare O2 concentrator

I have been on hold for 1 hr. trying to talk to SOMEONE at the Las Vegas office. I need some assistance with my O2 Concentrator. The alarm keeps going off.

There is actually no excuse for this. What if I need this oxygen just to breathe at all.

This is not the first time I have had trouble even getting the phone answered.

Please respond.

Preferred Homecare Oxygen and respiratory supply service

I have used this company previously when I lived in Buckeye AZ and now in Mesa AZ. I have never had such inconsiderate customer service as I have had from your company. When I rely on oxygen tanks to give me mobility I expect quick service. It should not take 2 or more days to have my tanks delivered. I am on 6lpm so you can see how quickly one tank will deplete and yet I had to fight to get even your people to agree to providing 6 at a time. I previously received 10 at a time. In addition, I am moving from an assisted living apt in Mesa to my daughter's home in Buckeye . That is a one and a half hour drive. You customer service representative stated that we would have to transport all of our oxygen tanks and as well as the in home concentrator. It is not safe for us to do that and I think you need to do some retraining of your staff. I promise you if something should happen because we have to transport these in our vehicle, I will be getting an attorney to suit your company. When I was with MedAssure, there process was to deliver new tanks and concentrator etc. to the new location and pick up the old equipment at the previous address. But your customer service person told be "We are not a moving company" no you are a supplier of specialized medical equipment that you should be more concerned about, not to mention concern for your customers...but why should you care when you have a monopoly on the service for Medicare Insurance holders. Your company stinks and I hope you lose your contract with Medicare. It would serve you right. Maybe you gotten to big to care about the people you SERVE.

Preferred Homecare cpap billing and unethical approach

When I notified the RT that I was changing insurance companies and that I wanted to self-pay-to-own my CPAP machine, I also inquired as to the monthly cost. I was told she did not know, but that someone would let me know.

I did not receive a call or letter, or direction about how to obtain that information.

I was not billed for 5 months, to alert me to the unreasonable charges.

As a RN for 42 years, I had good reason to believe I would be charged the cost of the item with some profit but certainly not a 600% mark-up. I was never told the monthly cost that would be billed to be until May.

I was not told that the cost would ultimately be $1170 and therefore did not have an option to seek an alternative.

I was not given an option to self pay $945 vs the $1170 that would be billed to my insurance company (with a $6500 deductible)

Your billing rep/company sees nothing wrong with ultimately receiving $1300 for a machine that you purchased for (probably $200) and sells online for $429. I spoke to billing reps in May and also today, July 12, and was told 'there was no one else I could talk to

Bottom line:
• There was no informed consent.
• I did not sign a contract for the current rate.
• You cashed my last payment even tho I stated that cashing it meant you agreed I was fully paid up with no further balance due.

Your company already received almost $200 from my prior insurance company, to so ‘begin again at 0' is unconscienable double billing. This is a practice that I will bring into the light for those evaluating questionable healthcare practices.

I would like to see your policy and procedure for notifying patients of charges and changes and your policy about informed consent.

Otherwise, since you have already made a profit on this machine, I respectfuly suggest you consider this an opportunity to correct your procedures to avoid these issues in the future, and allow me ownership at this moment without further billing.

Thank you.

Preferred Homecare patients transitioning to new vendor due to branch location closing

My name is Michael Moctezuma, I have been a client receiving trachea and vent supplies from your company for approximately 10 years. I recently received a letter stating that I would be transitioned to a new supply vender with ease, this has not been the case, I have only experienced stress, frustration, and anger most of all a great delay of all my supplies to this date. My need for these supplies are a matter of life and death! I require my supplies daily in order to keep my health moving forward in a healthy manner. An example of an equipment need is my medical vents that require filter changes, today i have not been able to keep the machine in top running order due to not having filters changed and can cause a respiratory infection. My caregiver has made many attempt to help get this matter resolved, she has made calls to my PCP, Super care (new suppliers) LCS and neither have been helpful all we get is pointing of fingers to each other. Again my health is priority I demand an investigation to find out who and why I have not had this transition smooth as stated in the letter sent by your company.

Preferred Homecare follow-up to "hypoxaemic/copd" patient not receiving oxygen

On Monday 10/23/17, another call to Las Vegas branch, demanding a manager. Finally got through to "Keith", Distribution Manager.
Discussed situation, an order for oxygen was expedited, and he ensured me that he'd look into the events & get back with me on Tue. 10/24. Oxygen was delivered 10/23 @610pm, over FIVE days after order was placed. On 10/24 however, "Keith" never called as promised. Today, 10/25/17, still no call, and still no answers. He had given me his phone# to call to place my orders directly with, for in the future. This Is NOT acceptable! It's as if Preferred Homecare is saying "here's your order already, now be happy, shut up, and go away!". Well, sadly, there's not much more I can do, if those responsible fail to live up to their word, within their company. But there are others, such as Medicaid, that I believe would like to hear about my ordeal.
