Medicare doesn't change daily. What does change is the way providers interpret the rules. That's why you need to know what the rules are so you don't get hoodwinked by a provider who's trying to cut their costs.

I do not live in Florida, but I have learned that for emergency's you can have a o2 tank and a concentrator,
we loose our power so the concentrator does not work, the tanks are for something like that

Medicare is federally funded and will pay for all on the program. It pays for oxygen and it all starts at your dr's office. He will get the procedures started for you. He will determine if you need oxygen by giving you some tests
