Why Oxygen Therapy

Oxygen therapy helps people with COPD, emphysema, heart conditions, and other chronic illnesses maintain their energy and independence. When your body gets the oxygen it needs, daily activities become more manageable and you can participate in life instead of just getting by.

Copper Star Home Medical works differently than online retailers or national chains. While online retailers leave you to figure things out on your own, our certified respiratory therapists work with your doctor’s orders and insurance plan to find equipment that works for your situation.

Portable Oxygen Concentrators

Lightweight units you can carry anywhere, from grocery stores to family visits. Most run 4-8 hours on battery power and recharge like your phone. FAA-approved models let you fly without worrying about oxygen supply during travel.

Home Oxygen Concentrators

Reliable units that plug into your wall and run continuously. Perfect for people who spend most of their time at home and need oxygen flow throughout the day and night. Quiet operation means they won’t interfere with your life.

Accessories & Attachments

Nasal cannulas, oxygen tubing, humidifier bottles, masks, and replacement filters keep your equipment working properly. We stock everything you need for maintenance and comfort, plus show you when and how to replace each component for optimal performance.

Caring for Your Oxygen Concentrator

Keep your concentrator at least six feet away from heat sources like stoves, fireplaces, and space heaters. Do not smoke near your oxygen equipment. When traveling, bring extra batteries for portable units and notify your airline in advance. Store backup cannulas and tubing in a clean, dry place, and replace them regularly as recommended by your respiratory therapist.

You don’t have to give up the things you enjoy doing just because you need oxygen therapy. Our staff has helped people figure out everything from weekend camping trips to daily errands. If you have questions about using oxygen equipment in your daily life, we’re here to help.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a home oxygen concentrator and a portable oxygen machine?

Home oxygen concentrators are larger units that plug into the wall and stay in one location. They're designed to run continuously and provide steady oxygen flow for extended periods.

Portable oxygen concentrators are smaller, battery-powered units you can carry with you. They're lighter and designed for people who want to stay active or travel, but they typically have shorter run times and may provide oxygen differently than home units.

How long do portable oxygen concentrator batteries last?

Battery life varies by model and your oxygen flow setting, but most portable concentrators run 4 to 8 hours on a single charge. Higher oxygen flow settings drain the battery faster. Most units come with rechargeable batteries, and you can purchase additional batteries for longer outings. Always carry a backup battery and your charging cables when you leave home.

Does insurance cover the cost of oxygen equipment?

Most insurance plans, including Medicare, cover oxygen equipment when prescribed by your doctor for a qualifying medical condition. Coverage varies by plan, so we work directly with your insurance provider to determine what's covered and handle the paperwork. We accept Medicare, Aetna, PEHP, Cigna, and most major insurance plans in Arizona.

What accessories should I use with my oxygen concentrator?

You'll need nasal cannulas or oxygen masks to deliver the oxygen, plus connecting tubing. Keep spare cannulas, tubing, and filters on hand since these need regular replacement. Your doctor will recommend the right accessories based on your prescription and comfort needs.

Can I travel with a portable oxygen concentrator?

Yes, you can travel with FAA-approved portable oxygen concentrators on airplanes. Contact your airline at least 48 hours before your flight to notify them and understand their requirements. Bring extra batteries since you cannot plug in during flight, and pack your concentrator in carry-on luggage rather than checking it. For road trips, bring your car adapter and plan charging stops as needed.

How do I safely maintain and clean my oxygen equipment?

Wipe down the outside of your concentrator weekly with a damp cloth, but never get water inside the unit. Replace air filters, tubing, and humidifiers as directed. Clean nasal cannulas daily with mild soap and water, and replace them as recommended.
