If a home filling unit is provided, can the supplier automatically bill monthly charges for oxygen contents?
Smith: If it is a system where the patient fills portable tanks from an oxygen generating device (i.e. concentrator), the answer is no. If it is a liquid or gas system requiring contents delivery that the patient uses to fill its portable, then the supplier can bill for portable contents. If the patient uses the stationary unit with its contents as his or her stationary oxygen supply, then the supplier can also bill for stationary contents.
