My local office is good; the national office where supplies are sent from still keeps screwing up my order by not updating my mask type, but the local office sends someone out to swap it out with the right one.

So, overall, I'm satisfied. My only other choice is Apria, and I've yet to read anything good about them.

I used them initially because they are a national firm. We lived full time in our motor home (for 11 years actually) with a SD legal domicile (full timer friendly) and were in CO when I was diagnosed with sleep apnea. Since they were national, Medicare would let the CO office furnish me with a machine.
It has been handy a number of times when repairs were needed and I could get help wherever we were.

I have had good luck with local offices but the central ordering group was such a pain that I dropped all contact with them and only work with local offices for supplies. The central office just could not understand that we moved often - sometimes monthly - and could not handle changes of address for us.

I suspect that whether Lincare will do a good job for you or not will depend on the local office management and personnel.

My brother has them for cpap, as my SIL gets O2 from them; and they have bent over backwards for her.
