Incompetent staff
Incompetent staff, app designed to delay response times, no real humans to talk to over the phone. I have been waiting over a week now for a prescription for a CPAP device to help me not die in my sleep, and Circle Medical has refused to provide me a copy of the prescription, sent an "interpretation of the prescription" to the DME provider instead of the prescription itself, and sent prescription documentation over to the DME provider that was missing key fields needed to process the CPAP device through insurance. Their reps have blatantly lied to me over chat, which I caught them in because the DME provider directly refuted their claims. Their "Customer Relations" team promised to call me and then didn't. They provide only platitudes and no actual medical care. Their delays in getting this information over to the DME provider is actively harming my health. During my apneatic events, my heart rate spikes to over 160 bpm; I'm unable to function during my work day. I had to go to the emergency room for apnea-related palpitations. They continue to drag their feet. There is zero continuity in reps you talk to; they take ages to respond to your messages. As part of their apology, they thanked me for allowing them to fail with me and to improve the patient experience for patients that come after me. You're a professional service billing my insurance and taking my money. I am not a testground for you to get your ducks in a row.

Thank you for taking the time to voice your concerns. As a practice who makes used of e-prescribing services, we cannot send patients copies of their prescription given that their is sensitive provider information on it and sharing this information goes against DEA regulations. When sending prescriptions, it is the case that sometimes a facility or pharmacy requires more information than was initially on the prescription. In this case we are more than happy to contact the facility and proceed with updating their information/sending a new prescription as necessary. Our goal is always to keep the patient experience as smooth and positive as possible and our team works tirelessly to make this happen. We understand that not all patients have a seamless experience with us and while we are deeply sorry for that, we are continuously working to improve and make changes to better our patient experience. Our team is always available through the chat to listen to your feedback or assist you with any matters. You may also speak to our team over the phone at (888) 803 3370. Thank you again, and have a great day.
