1. Medicare doesn’t purchase any oxygen equipment, including portable oxygen concentrators and typically neither does insurance.
2. Medicare & Insurance typically cover only part of a rental fee for all oxygen equipment.
3. Most oxygen equipment companies that choose to bill insurance opt not to provide portable concentrators through the Medicare and insurance rental process due to low reimbursement rates from Medicare.
4. If you want to own your equipment, it’s often best to purchase it on your own.

Summary: The answer to “Will Medicare or insurance cover the cost of a portable oxygen concentrator?” is that they will cover part of the cost of the rental fee, but not purchase because they have deemed it too costly.

Many oxygen therapy users choose to buy portable oxygen concentrators, out of pocket, because regular oxygen tanks are heavy, frustrating to obtain, and always require refilling. A portable oxygen concentrator is a helpful device for oxygen users having trouble breathing due to a lung condition like asthma or COPD. They purify air and provide up to 95% pure oxygen. These machines are lightweight, with some weighing as little as 2.8 pounds, AC, DC, and battery-powered.  Plus, our portable oxygen concentrators have benefits such as being low maintenance, FDA-approved, and safe for airline travel.
