Frequently Asked Questions

If you are planning for medical insurance, including Medicare, to pay for your oxygen concentrator, they will require a prescription and additional documentation to ensure medical necessity before they pay. However, you do not need a new prescription for purchase if you are already utilizing some form of oxygen delivery therapy equipment. A copy of the existing prescription should suffice.

Our oxygen equipment consultants will also assist with finding and confirming prescriptions. Oxygen Always has referral programs and relationships with the major oxygen supply companies to obtain copies of oxygen concentrator prescriptions conveniently.  

A pre-owned concentrator has been taken in on trade or from our buyback program. It has been thoroughly inspected by our team of certified technicians and will be in perfect working order prior to resale.

Our oxygen concentrator maintenance professionals guarantee optimal use.

Simply put, those oxygen concentrators are cheaply made and not intended for medical use.

The online oxygen concentrator market is flooded with devices that are intended for recreational use in heavily polluted areas. Almost all these devices only deliver 30% oxygen purity to air ratio.

If you are suffering from a medical condition, these online portable and home oxygen concentrators do not have the power to deliver the prescribed levels of oxygen you need. Those who suffer from COPD, emphysema, pulmonary fibrosis, and other medical conditions should not purchase cheap, online devices from unauthorized sources.

Oxygen Always, an authorized oxygen concentrator supplier, offers devices that output up to 90% oxygen purity to air ratio.  

Our main priority is for customers to have the best concentrator for their medical and lifestyle needs. It is very important to select a company with the best trade-in program. Oxygen Always’ Buyback Program will pay you top-dollar for your trade to put towards your new oxygen equipment. If you have a pre-owned oxygen concentrator to sell, put in a buyback request or contact us to see if your concentrator is eligible for purchase.

Yes! Many people use portable oxygen concentrators as their sole source of oxygen. Even some pulse flow concentrators may be used continuously throughout the day. Consult with our oxygen delivery specialists to determine which concentrator would be best suited for your situation. Our experts will help you make the decision based on your specific needs.

Portable oxygen concentrators are a great oxygen delivery solution compared to oxygen tanks, and one of the biggest advantages is the freedom to travel. Portable oxygen concentrators are FAA approved for airline use. Not only are they much safer for car travel, but you don’t have to worry about refills and running out.

All portable oxygen concentrators sold by Oxygen Always are FAA approved for air travel. Portable oxygen concentrators are safer to travel with when compared to oxygen tanks. The FAA only has jurisdiction on flights in US airspace, so if you are traveling internationally, it is best to consult with a travel agent or airline professional about specific laws in other countries.

Airlines have their own policies regarding stowing and storing oxygen equipment and concentrators, so familiarize yourself with their policies before traveling. Most airlines require enough battery duration to last one and a half times your flight duration.

Call our experts with more specific information available as it relates to air or cruise travel plans.

Yes! Oxygen concentrators that have continuous oxygen flow are compatible with sleep apnea devices.

Medical expenses can be used as a tax write-off; however, you should consult with a professional accountant or tax professional to fully understand your personal situation and figure out exactly what you can and cannot claim.

Many internet companies blur the lines over oxygen equipment’s warranties. Before purchasing, insist on a manufacturer-supported warranty only. Make sure you have the manufacturer’s warranty and not the warranty form from the internet company before purchasing. Beware of companies offering a 5-year or lifetime warranty because manufacturers typically offer only two years.

Our oxygen supply company only offers manufacturer-supported warranties. We strive to be transparent and informative to all our clients.

The Oxygen Always sales headquarters is in Boca Raton, Florida; however, we have locations all over the country, including in California, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Texas, and other states, to accommodate our customers’ needs.
