Oxygen and Medicare
May 25^th, 2012 at 7:31am

Can anyone tell me if there has been any changes in Medicare payment for oxygen use with clusterheadaches? From what I understand they will NOT pay for it.

I have a new neuro here in NC after moving here 7 years ago. She said that they would cover this expense. I don't believe it.

Right now I have a set up where I can obtain M tanks for $10.00 and E's for $8.00----delivery is $50.00. I call them and get when I need it. I know if this new doctor orders the 02 and they are not reimbursed, I'll get stuck with the bill @$500-600 a month. Yikes

Any insight into this matter would be appreciated as I'm new to this medicare structure.

Anyway the most I'd get stuck is a couple months of payments at full price. Thanks for the telephone number that would be my next step. john
