Home oxygen therapy provides supplemental oxygen to patients with chronic lung conditions or other medical issues that impair oxygen levels in the blood. It helps improve breathing, energy levels, and overall quality of life.

Patients with chronic respiratory conditions such as COPD, pulmonary fibrosis, or heart failure, who demonstrate low blood oxygen levels (hypoxemia), may qualify for home oxygen therapy. A healthcare provider will assess your eligibility.

 If you experience symptoms like shortness of breath, fatigue, or low oxygen saturation levels, your healthcare provider may recommend further tests to determine if you require oxygen therapy.

Yes, a prescription from a healthcare provider is required for home oxygen therapy. The prescription will detail your specific oxygen needs, including the flow rate and duration of use.

Oxygen therapy is administered through devices such as oxygen concentrators, compressed gas cylinders, or liquid oxygen systems. It is delivered via nasal cannulas, masks, or other interfaces, depending on your needs.

The ADP is a government-funded program in Ontario that covers up to 100% of the cost for home oxygen therapy equipment for eligible individuals, provided that specific medical criteria are met.

For patients 65 and above, the ADP covers 100% of the monthly costs associated with oxygen therapy equipment, such as concentrators, cylinders, and portable oxygen. Patients under 65 are covered by the ADP at 75% and are responsible for the remaining 25%, either out-of-pocket or through private insurance.

Eligibility for ADP coverage is based on a physician’s assessment of your condition. You must meet certain criteria, such as having low oxygen saturation levels. MagGas will assist in the application process.

ADP covers essential oxygen equipment, including oxygen concentrators, portable oxygen tanks, regulators, and accessories such as nasal cannulas and tubing.
