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.
