Need help paying for oxygen, any suggestions?

lealonnie1 Apr 2020
My mother's Medicare and supplemental Blue Cross/Blue Shield PPO insurance DOES NOT fully cover her oxygen concentrator; her co pay is $14/month. All insurance is different, so you'd have to check with your specific provider to see what is/is not covered and if you have a co-pay, etc. The least expensive used concentrator I've seen on eBay is $400; on Cragislist, $150 for an InvaCare in 'fair' condition. Check your local Craigslist to see if you can find something affordable.

Here is a link to all of these same questions that have been asked here on Aging Care in the past, along with the answers:

Good luck!

Denise, has your doctor prescribed the oxygen? Your insurance should pay if your doctor prescribed it.

If not, search for oxygen concentrator, you may be able to find a fairly reasonably priced unit.

Ask your doctor's office if they know how to get assisted with paying for it.

Everyone I know that was prescribed oxygen it was covered by their insurance, however, they never got tanks, just concentrators.
