Have you asked the insurance company to switch to a more easily managed portable device, such as a portable concentrator? That would be the first step.
I AM TAKING CARE OF A 82 YR. OLD MAN WHO IS IN PHYSICAL THERAPY TO HELP HIM GET STRONGER TO PERFORM NORMAL DAILY ACTIVITIES. HE TOOK AN 8 MINUTE WALKING TEST AND WAS REJECTED ON RECEIVING PORTABLE OXYGEN. THE CLASS LASTS ONE HOUR - NOT 8 MINUTES! I HAVE A PROBLEM UNDERSTANDING MEDICARES' REASONING. I WOULD BE WILLING TO PAY FOR IT MYSELF SO THAT HE CAN CONTINUE HIS PHYSICAL THERAPY - HOW DO I DO THAT?
