Guest guest Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Hi list friends My insurance company (not medicare) is billed for a liquid o2 system with a Companion T(I think that's the name) portable. The o2 dealer also supplies (they say free of charge) a l0 liter concentrator (which I use in the house). The 02 supplier says the concentrator is for their convenience as far as scheduling and refilling. I get the liquid refilled about every 2 weeks. I also have one of those HUGE tanks in case the electricity fails (which happened for the first time yesterday for about 2 hrs). For my own peace of mind, my other " back up " (for which I am billed)is the cart that holds one E-tank. I have to use that at Pulmonary rehab to get the proper o2 flow. The o2 supplier is charging me $45 a month for cart rental plus $10 for each E-Tank I order. I have been online and find I can buy one of those carts for under $30. i feel I am getting " ripped off " by the o2 supplier on what I have to pay out of pocket. I am not expecting the ins co. to pay for this other system. Have any of you faced this? What is your solution? Appreciate your insight.
