This year, I started wearing oxygen at night. My first travels are planned in one month. Guess what, my insurance does not provide oxygen travel arrangements. When I travel I become a self-pay patient.
The good news for me is that I only require 2-3 Liters of O2 at night, say, up to 12 hours. The bad news is, I have to pay cash.
What type of systems do you use when you travel? What companies do you rent from? Has anyone heard of the Imogen One or Sequal Eclipse? (or any other portable concentrator?) I read somewhere online the Imogen One has been approved for airline travel. This could come in handy on overseas trips for me. Does anyone know if this is true?
Has anyone bought a portable concentrator? Which one did you get and why? I'm thinking it might be worth my investment in the long run.
My current home system is one of those Invacare large concentrators. I *could* take it on road trips, but then I'm stuck in a tiny hotel room with my whole family listening to that loud generator all night long. No thank you. I need something quieter and portable.
What do you use? If your insurance covers travel, what company do they travel with? Apria recommended "Travel o2"
Any/all experiences/advice would be helpful. Thanks!
