[QUOTE="okcBob, post: 4157883, member: 45783"] If she has Medicare, they legally have to give you a choice of home oxygen companies. They can’t tell a Medicare patient which home care company to use. If she qualifies for home oxygen via oximetry, that includes both stationary & portable systems. The doc should order home o2 for example “ 3L home oxygen 24 hrs/day stationary & portable systems “. Sometimes patients only are covered for portable & not stationary (if ambulatory sats qualify but resting sats don’t). But I’ve never heard of someone qualifying for stationary & not portable unless they do a nocturnal oximetry only and she only desats at night. I would see what her resting sat on room air is & go from there. DM me if you need more assistance throughout the process. Good luck [/QUOTE]
