J, thanks a bunch for your reply.

Sorry. The VA calls it POC (portable oxygen concentrator). I know the flow is super low (max 6LPM) but I think if I’m not close by my oxygen tanks the little POC would help me little bit. I’m just tired of dragging the cart with me everywhere.

Good evening clusterheads, I have a question for veterans......if you know by any chance or point me to the right direction. I have a military tricare and they are saying that they will pay for all of my oxygen needs. (Now the part where it gets little confusing). I’m under VA health care as well and VA is providing oxygen tanks but I don’t qualify for the POC where I can just put it in my car or have it with me in my workplace. They are saying that I don’t require 24/7 oxygen ..... that way I’m disqualified. Well that’s the VA system. I’m still glad that they are providing the tanks. So I went different route and went through my Tricare. Seen neurologist and he gave me a prescription for the portable oxygen concentrator. I did call numerous oxygen companies/ providers in TN but every one of them said that I don’t qualify for the POC because I don’t have any pulmonary issues or I don’t require oxygen 24/7..... Is there anyway around? Do you know anyone in US (I’m willing to travel) who would provide the POC? Thanks a bunch. Mark from TN
