  When I attempted to order a breast pump to help with care of my newborn baby, they said they would send one after I faxed a prescription. After several weeks went by they said it was on it's way. I gave up waiting and got a hand pump. After more than a month went by I just assumed it would never show up, so I called and they told me "someone tried to call to arrange delivery but couldn't get through" -- however, nobody had EVER called me or my husband-- we had always been the ones to call Lincare. Anyway, they had me have my doctor's office RESEND a prescription. I called again 10 days later asking about my breast pump (my baby is now almost 3 months old and I'm going back to work next week) and they said they need to have the doctor's chart notes proving I actually need a breast pump. These charts would detail my vaginal length and cervix size and are entirely unnecessary-- since my DOCTOR wrote a PRESCRIPTION for it, and that is usually all that is needed to PROVE that the item is necessary. Not to mention, they didn't require these medical charts for the pump they had allegedly attempted to send me previously. Also, my doctor's office has never been required to provide anything but a prescription in their many years of practice, for a breast pump. I will be finding another provider for my medical equipment and will be submitting formal complaints to Lincare and my insurance company about this ordeal.
