It Takes Forever to Speak To Someone

Edgepark

“Each call usually takes up an hour of my time, and I have to call multiple times to get anywhere, if at all.  Recently, my orders have been cancelled without warning or notification, paperwork issues are still not resolved days after my order was supposed to ship, leaving us without supplies.  I am looking forward to not ever having to use this company again!”

HCD review 5 stars

“HCD always calls me when it’s time to receive my supplies. I am pleased with how fast they get them to me, and the products are always what I ordered. I am very pleased with the service.”

Edgepark Customer Service Rarely Knows What’s Going On

If customers make it past the long hold times Edgepark customers face, they are greeted with another frustration: service representatives who provide inconsistent or incorrect information about their orders.

Dozens of Edgepark reviews reveal situations where customers are given different explanations for the same problem, on the same day, and even on the same call. Some customers call and speak with 2 different people, and get 2 different sets of information.

I have ever dealt with. Each person you speak with at this company has a different story. It took three months for them to send my son’s medical supplies and they only sent one months worth. I’m now starting at ground zero to try to get more supplies. They are waiting for doctors notes, once again. Do not use this company!”

Edgepark

“Avoid this company at all costs. You will be kept on hold forever, the customer service reps are rude and do nothing, the supervisors do nothing. If there is an issue with insurance, they do not notify you. If they are back ordered, they do not notify you or check other warehouses for supplies. Please please please avoid because if you’re needing their services you clearly already have life challenges and this will just add to them.”

In our reviews, customers express gratitude for our consistent and reliable service. They report that deliveries arrive when we say they will, and that our reps are honest, knowledgeable, and capable of resolving issues quickly.

Customer Service at HCD:

  • Consistent, accurate order updates
  • Helpful support from Registered Nurses and trained product experts

“Trustworthy, great attention to detail, professional, promptness, kindness and understanding when dealing with customers are only a few great details about Home Care Delivered. Thank you for all the years caring for my mother. I would recommend Home Care Delivered to anyone who would need their services. You are the best!”

Edgepark Deliveries Are Often Late

Edgepark customers who place an order often encounter another problem: waiting a long time for products to arrive.

Late deliveries is one of the most common complaints found within Edgepark reviews. Many customers report waiting weeks or even months for their supplies to arrive. Late orders can have negative consequences on the customers who need their products to remain happy and healthy.

“Absolutely the worst company on the face of the earth. They miss every recurring order and put you at risk of not having supplies to be able to take your insulin. They don’t even provide you with the courtesy of letting you know that you are not going to receive your life-sustaining supplies, or that they aren’t even timely processing them.”

Edgepark

“Dozens of phone calls over a month have still not gotten me my critical medical supplies. They are literally harming my health. I have spent hours on hold sent tons of information and still nothing. It is 1984 meets medical supply ordering. Avoid at all cost.”
At HCD, some of our most common praise is about how reliable our deliveries are. A commonly repeated phrase in our reviews is “deliveries always arrive on time.”

How HCD Delivers On Time:

  • We process paperwork efficiently
  • We notify customers early about paperwork needs
  • We send order reminders to customers to help ensure they don’t run out of supplies

“My orders are always on time so I never run out. I even get follow up calls to make sure I’m happy. They make sure that my supplies are one less thing for me to worry about.”

Edgepark Customers Report Getting Surprise Bills

Many Edgepark reviews also mention a big problem: people are sent surprise bills.

Numerous Edgepark customers mention they’ve received unexpected bills or surprise charges to their credit cards. These charges often come with no explanation, and in cases where the charge is incorrect, it often takes forever to resolve. Some customers report they were assured by a representative that the items would be covered by their insurance plan, only later to receive a bill for them.

“Never ever use this company. Won’t even give them a star. Ended up in the ER because of them. Still haven’t billed insurance company since January. Wanted credit card to bill me [the] full amount because they are incapable of handling anything. Also wouldn’t let me post unless I gave a star which they are not worthy of.”

Edgepark

“They have neglected to refund me money they charged to receive my life-saving diabetic supplies for months after insurance has also paid them. They’ve even charged my credit card after my deductible has been met, and they had previously acknowledged that it was met and supposedly had marked it in my account to avoid having to call for refunds. I’ve spoken to several managers/supervisors in the past about this but it has still been an issue.”
For some customers, the only way to address billing issues is to call the company and wait on hold. Again, the lack of options forces customers to make a difficult choice: Either wait on hold to order supplies covered by their insurance, or place orders online and risk a charge to their credit card. Our customers don’t have to make this choice. In fact, we don’t require a credit card to order supplies, no matter how they are placed.

How HCD Prevents Surprise Charges

  • We have insurance experts who explain product coverage
  • We don’t require a credit card prior to placing an order.
  • If there are ever out-of-pocket costs, we do our best to keep you informed on possible expenses

9 Things to Know About Your Glucometer

If you have been diagnosed with diabetes, you may have checked your blood sugar (glucose) thousands of times. Or, if you are new to the diabetes community, this whole fingerstick thing might still be a little strange. Either way, we think you’ll benefit from this update on best practices for using a traditional glucose meter (glucometer), plus tips for making monitoring as easy and effective as possible.

Everything You Need to Know About Catheter-Associated UTIs

For most of us, the ability to easily go into a bathroom and empty our bladders is one of those basic functions that is easy to take for granted. But when you have a urological condition that makes urinating difficult or impossible, life becomes a little more complicated. Luckily, help is available in the form of a urinary catheter, a tube inserted in the bladder that allows the urine to be diverted into a drainage bag that is regularly emptied.

Living With Blood Thinners

Do you take a blood thinner? Blood thinners are lifesaving drugs that assist our bodies in keeping our blood flowing smoothly. First discovered about 100 years ago, blood thinners, also known as anticoagulants, are used by two to three million Americans. While they do not actually make the blood “thinner” or break up existing blood clots, blood thinners do stop blood clots from growing larger and prevent new ones from developing.
