Has anyone had experience renting or doing rent-to-own for small portable oxygen concentrators?
Many MyCOPDTeam members have found ways to get portable oxygen concentrators (POCs) through their insurance. One member shared that when they were on oxygen 24/7 and still working, they worked with their insurance company to get multiple setups - a concentrator in their office, one at home, and smaller portable tanks for going out.
The key is talking with your insurance company to see what options they cover. Some members recommend discussing portable oxygen concentrators with your pulmonologist first, who can write a prescription if needed.
Popular portable models mentioned by members include the Inogen One G5, which can be taken everywhere. These battery-powered devices provide continuous oxygen without needing tank refills, though you'll need to watch battery levels and recharge as needed.
If you don't currently have portable equipment, ask your healthcare provider whether a portable system might be right for you, then contact your insurance to explore rental or purchase options that fit your budget and lifestyle.
