Does Medicare covers Portable Oxygen?
Thank you for stopping by.
Yes, but you have to qualify by meeting the guidelines. Your O2 sat has to be below a certain amount. Sorry, I can’t remember just how low it has to be. Your doctor would have to order it.
My neighbor just qualified due to low O2 sats in the 80’s. He has a large concentrator for the house and then he got 2 portable tanks for when he goes out of the house. How else would he be able to keep doctor’s appointments if he didn’t have portable oxygen.
why dont you call medicare and find out.
