Guest guest Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 I do not know of any cases of Medicare paying for one. Many here have gone to http://portablenebs.com/choiceoximeter.htm and purchased that one for $64.95. >> Does anyone know if Medicare will pay for the oximeters??> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 years ago i was told that nonin 9500 was the best just got the $99 nonin -- it's not as quick as the 9500, but you can read the $99 one outdoors in the sun -- it only uses one battery, i wonder if that is why it is slower Pink Joyce R (IPF 3/06) IFA 5/09 Pennsylvania Donate Life Listed 1/09 Inactive 4/09 www.transplantfund.org--- Subject: Re: Re: OximeterTo: Breathe-Support Date: Friday, October 23, 2009, 2:12 PM john i dont think so ...nonin.com is supposed to be the best $99 Dot/42/uip/10/ 08/san antonio/texas From: Bruce <brucemoreland@ gmail.com>Subject: Re: OximeterTo: Breathe-Support@ yahoogroups. comDate: Friday, October 23, 2009, 11:36 AM I do not know of any cases of Medicare paying for one.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 I also do not get a reading when my fingers are cold. I try to warm them up by rubbing them before using the oximeter.

When I finally get a reading it is in the 80s. I am not on oxygen because my readings on the 6 minute walk stays in the 90s. Does the low O2 cause the cold fingers or do the cold fingers cause the low O2 readings? Chicken or the egg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
