Oxygen Therapy

Oxygen therapy is a treatment that provides you with supplemental, or extra, oxygen. Although oxygen therapy may be common in the hospital, it can also be used at home. There are several devices used to deliver oxygen at home. Your healthcare provider will help you choose the equipment that works best for you. Oxygen is usually delivered through nasal prongs (an oxygen cannula) or a face mask. Oxygen equipment can attach to other medical equipment such as CPAP machines and ventilators.

Before embarking on a trip, it is critical that you follow a few steps to ensure that your flight goes smooth and without a hitch. Here are a few steps to follow:

1. Notify the airline that you will be flying with oxygen and ask them about criteria. Most airlines require that you download a form from their website. This form has two parts:

Top part is for your demographic information and the specific portable oxygen concentrator (POC) that you will be bringing on the plane.
Bottom part is to be complete and signed by your doctor.

2. Most airlines also ask that you have 1 1/2 to 2 times the battery time as the length of the flight. This means that for a 2 hour flight, you will need at least 3 to 4 hours of battery time.

3. Bring the Certificate of Medical Necessity (CMN) with you. Your oxygen provider or doctor should be able to give you a copy. This certificate is important for the flight, but also to be able to get emergency oxygen equipment from any other provider, if needed, when out of town or state.

4. Ask your current oxygen provider if they have a location in the area where you will be traveling. If they do have a location, arrange to have them deliver the remaining oxygen equipment that you will need for your stay.

5. If the current provider does not have a location in the area that your are traveling, it is important to make arrangements with your company and determine how you can get a continuous home concentrator to your travel destination.

6. It is also important to locate a backup oxygen company in case of equipment malfunction.

Locate a couple of oxygen providers in the travel destination.
Call the oxygen providers in the area and ask them if they would service you in case of an emergency.
Ask them what the cost will be for an emergency concentrator, tanks, regulator, and delivery. Write these costs down and call another provider to check on their prices. Your insurance company will NOT cover oxygen charges from two providers. Any oxygen equipment received from another vendor will be your responsibility.
Write down the oxygen provider’s name, address, and phone number and bring it with you.

When you are prepared, you can relax and enjoy your trip.

Buy your own or Rent through your insurance company

If you require portable medical oxygen, a portable oxygen concentrator (POC) affords you the freedom and independence to do as you please, without the heavy burden of an oxygen tank.

Many insurance plans, including Medicare advantage plans, will cover up to 80% of the cost for your oxygen therapy equipment, including the portable oxygen concentrators.
