Yes, Medicare covers them as long as pulmonologist makes it a necessity for you to have it when you are out of the house... You have to go through a network provider too.

Good luck!

My mom has an Oxygo Fit ant it lasts 3 1/2 hours but it is too heavy. She needs one that is lighter and lasts 2 1/2 hours or more without charging it. Thank you.

I finally bought a concentrator for my downstairs, was a little spendy but now I have oxygen on both floors. You can buy a used one at a pretty reasonable cost.

Difference Between Portable Ox Cylinders Amd Their Home Oxgyen Concentrater. I Get A Much Stronger Flow With The Bottles. I Dont Fe
A MyCOPDTeam Member asked a question 💭

I can do much more with a O2 cylinder then i can at home with my concentrator. With bottles I can go for walks and even shopping, but at home with the concentrator my O2 drops to 80's just walking to kitchen. My bottle I set on 5 liters and concentrator is set on 7 liters. The only time my concentrator seems to work for me is when it is hooked up to my Trilogy, amd of course I am always resting then. Anyone else notice a difference. They tested the machine and said it was fine??😵😵

Hi -- asking for my dad who has severe emphysema and is on 5-6L continuous flow at home with a floor concentrator. Questions please:

1- What options does he have for use outside the home with that kind of flow requirement? Tanks? Liquid oxygen
2-With the tanks (like the tanks that can fit onto a holster on a wheelchair or rollators) -- how many hours use does that give / what size?
3 - What if he needs several hours of portable use -- what can we do? (We think his inogen G3 does not provide… read more
